    I detail cars almost every weekend

    we have a 5hp pressure washer (craftsman) and with the gentle tip (yellow one) we have NEVER had a single problem.

              Really want to go like at least an 1" lower this summer. Don't stress, I have extra axles and boot kits.

                    There was no clearcoat to start. I had to pressure wash it, it's been sitting so long there was moss growing on it. Most of the car is primer anyway it will get paint someday.

                        I would have:

                        sprayed it down with APC (all purpose cleaner). Preferably detailing stuff but simple green works

                        and then pressure wash off what you can gently. Then respray apc and get soap and wash it like normal and see whats left

                            Leaving it overnight for the suspension to settle, then gotta wait for the next two.

                                Normally I would have but the car is primer(at least 5 year old) and diamondschwartz and it's all in horrible shape I'm gonna sand it down and re prime it this summer possibly spray it in matte black until I get all the mechanicals in order and can afford a proper paint job.
