Car wash pressure gun vs. intercooler
 
I was washing my car with the car wash pressure guns, i got to close to the IC and it bent the little aluminum flats on it, anyway to fix it.

pull the intercooler out and get a small screwdriver and pliers, and have fun..unless there bent really bad.. leave them alone..

popsicle sticks work wonders

The pressure washer can break skin, strip paint it also can bend small aluminum blades... keep it in fan mode and 24-36in from sensitive surfaces. :updown:

Only if it's like 2000psi! Damn where do you guys find these guns? :lol: Should require a permit to operate them.

I have used tons of DIY carwash places with pressure guns. They are awesome for removing bugs/bird sh~t etc. Use the brush on your wheels even, but not on the body.

This was a car wash pressure gun he is talking about, not a pressure washer like you would clean your driveway with.

Look at the time stamps on our posts... we both replied at the same time pretty much. Your post didn't exist when I was typing mine.
