An expert has revealed how a common car-washing mistake could land motorists with a repair bill costing hundreds of pounds. Many vehicle owners are turning to pressure washers to get their motor sparkling with the minimum of effort and fuss this spring.

He said: “Pressure washers can be an incredibly handy tool to give your car a new lease of life in a short space of time. But hosing down your motor on a gravel driveway could be a serious error and leave you facing forking out hundreds of pounds to repair dents and scuffed paintwork.
