Yeah, they actually cover a surprisingly large area, unlike the hatchback fogs which are kind of crappy IMO

Personally I wouldn't use pressure on the top half of the car since those weather seals are expensive to replace.


Great pick up!

If you would have seen how much grime was on it, you would be asking for an even higher pressure spray gun. Nothing beats hand washing your car, but if you keep your distance from the paint and know what you are doing, the paint will be fine (my dad has been doing paint/body/detailing work for 35 years and he hasn't had any issues spraying his cars with these).
