Reply:You haven't provided any details regarding your welder but sure.  Whether you turn the water on or not is another matter based on what the machine is.To be serious, if it's an engine drive, getting a wash job is not that unusual and depending on the machine itself will determine what areas need to be approached with caution.If a shop type machine, they have been "car washed" by many who work on them on a regular basis and certain precautions need to be taken with regard to control boards, relays, etc.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!

Reply:If you're talking a hand wand manual car wash, just use discretion when directing the pressure stream.If an automatic type it'll likely be no worse than if the welder were to be exposed to a downpour.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
