Hi - no details on the pressure washer itself - but just be careful with overusing this on concrete drives - it will break down the concrete over time, washing the sand particles out... also keep it away from cars

If buying second hand, make sure you get it up & running before handing over money...

Thanks a lot

green stuff is easier removed if you treat it first - I use a product called Chlorus (think that is the spelling) - get it in local co-op shops - dilute per instructions, pour on affected areas, quick brush & you can use ordinary garden hose to clean down - all depends on how bad the green stuff is - assuming its not moss, just a general green covering on the concrete?

I have a pressure washer - but nothing as powerful as the one you are looking into - picked it up in Aldi a few years back - electric one, but does the job...
