Is it safe to use a pressure washer to remove cement from my car?
It is safe to use a pressure washer to remove concrete from a car, in so far as it's safe to use a pressure washer on a car. That is to say, great care has to be taken on plastic, rubber and trim.
And people use pressure washers to clean concrete driveways all the time, and it doesn't remove the concrete, so if the concrete has dried and set, it is unlikely to be very effective.
However, if the concrete is still wet, we recommend flushing it away with a pressure washer, but very carefully.
If the cement/concrete has arrived on your car in the form of a fine spray, it may be possible to wash this off even if it has dried.
A combination of methods may need to be used. Although rubber is not prone to scratches like plastic and paintwork, it is very prone to damage from pressure washers.
