I wouldn't get one personally.
I know of someone here that took the top layer off his car bonnet by using one! (Luckily it wasn't the CC!)

Just my opinion though!

Bodywork maintenance...........
- using a high pressure washer: always follow the recommendations on the equipement (pressure and spraying distance)
if you use a pressure washer properly it should not damage the car. so if it did do any damage you would have a claim under warruntee...........but may have a fight 'cos it could have be caused by something that was not Peugeots fault

If you used a top dog steam cleaner and held it 1 mm from bodywork then it will take off the paint,its the law

mine is a JCB pressure washer,approx 100 notes from there website,does 4 vans(vans have sticker graphics on and it fine with then) and 2 cars everyweek,never had any probs at all

Takes flies off like well easy,and you can use then to do your house windows,patios,water the plants(from a distance)and soak the misses everytime she comes out to tell you that youve missed a bit
