Item Subject: Pressure washers
     I too am looking into the purchase of a new high pressure washer.  My 
     current one is a feeble 1200 psi unit that won't get the road grime 
     off my vehicles.  It will clean off the big stuff, but when they dry 
     they still look dirty.  It has a tank for cleaning solutions, but the 
     pressure is just inadequate to do the job.  It does a barely adequate 
     job of degreasing equipment.
       I am looking for all the pressure I can afford, but want something 
     that's easy to winterize.  Do any of the 3000 psi unit have a 
     provision for cutting back the pressure?  There may be a time when I 
     want to clean my siding rather than strip it!  How much pressure is 
     too much?
       I'll be hoping there's some good info here as personal experience 
     means a lot.
