Hello everyone I’ve been an owner operator for a couple of months now and I have a couple of questions of washing your trucks. I currently have a pressure wash that I use that I’ve owned prior to buying my truck. I use dawn dish soap and scrub my truck, it doesn’t need to be perfect but I try to keep it clean. My question is what kind of cleaner do you guys use and what pressure washers have lasted you and made it worth the money. I have an acid tank so any tips on washing it would also be nice.

For a "pro-sumer" pressure washer, just about anything with a triplex pump will work good. CAT pumps are great, but Chinese "junk" triplexes will outlast axial pumps that you find on cheap pressure washers. You're looking at about a grand for units like this. If you're wanting to step up to something serious, look for a used Karcher, or something that has built in heat. -
First of all don't use dawn dish soap. It can scratch the paint.
I use a RV brush that's not too hard or soft. A small power washer and some car soap from local hardware store. -
