PSA if you use a pressure washer to clean your Bronco Raptor bumper.

You sure you didn’t use a waterjet?

since you need tips anyway. Go on the Amazon and get the foamer that comes with like 5 different sized tips for like $25. Like others, if it’s got mud on it, it’s gets a water pressure wash as the first step. I had a lot of sand after my last adventure, you don’t want to touch the paint until that is all rinsed away. Foam up and let soak for 10 minutes then clear water rinse. Foam up again then use deep microfiber towels els, 5-6, no return to the bucket method. If you only use a single wash mit, get a grit guard for your bucket.

What's it do? I just have a gap between my steel bumper and the body panel.

Looks like it’s a 15 degree tip.

Looks like a 0 degree, usually a red tip

Yep - I second this. There's a whole world of car detailing out there that I recently discovered. Foam cannon for pressure washer, multi buckets, microfiber mits, grit guards, on & on... that's before all the different sprays... it never ends lol

Probably for aero to salvage some semblance of mileage. I would guess these could be retrofitted to other models and now I'm kind of interested in trying.

Lesson learned. Someone gave it to me with only one tip.

Thanks for posting, hopefully it helps the next guy from making the same mistake.
