- Primary Objective: Complete the PowerWash Simulator 2 cosmic ordering achievement by cleaning the Sun and planets in precise sequence.
- Strict Sequence: Wash the Sun first, then clean Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune moving outward.
- Overspray Warning: Avoid accidental planet completion by angling your water stream away from neighboring celestial bodies.
- Recommended Gear: Use the Adaptable Nozzle paired with a heavy-duty or professional-duty pressure washer for maximum control.
- Replay Availability: Access the Solar System Exhibit in Free Play if you miss the achievement during your main Career Mode campaign.
Solar System Exhibit Overview & Requirements
The Solar System Exhibit is the 26th career job in PowerWash Simulator 2, taking players to the educational halls of Washingham. This challenging, multi-object environment features a scale model of our solar system suspended from the ceiling. To complete the job normally, you must clean the massive central Sun, all eight planets, their complex support tracks, horizontal rails, and informational brass plaques.
However, players looking to unlock the elusive PowerWash Simulator 2 cosmic ordering achievement must approach this job with a deliberate strategy. Unlike standard jobs where you can spray freely, this achievement requires cleaning the celestial bodies in a strict geographical order starting from the center of the solar system and moving outward.
| Metric | Details |
|---|---|
| Job Number | 26 (Career Mode) |
| Location | Washingham Museum |
| Job Type | Exhibit / Landmark |
| Estimated Difficulty | Challenging |
| Base Reward | Cash & PowerWash Points |
| Key Achievement | Cosmic Ordering (Hard) |
Because the models are suspended at various heights, you will need to make frequent use of the scaffolding, ladders, and the abseiling kit provided on-site. Managing your position is just as important as managing your water pressure.
Purchase the Adaptable Nozzle before starting this job. It allows you to shift from wide fan sprays for planetary spheres to concentrated streams for thin mounting brackets without swapping attachments.
The Cosmic Ordering Sequential Route
To successfully secure the PowerWash Simulator 2 cosmic ordering achievement, you must complete the cleaning tasks for the celestial bodies in a specific order. The game tracks the exact moment each named component reaches 100% completion. If any planet is fully cleaned out of order, the achievement run is instantly invalidated, requiring a full job restart.
| Cleaning Order | Celestial Body | Key Components | Danger Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | The Sun | Solar flares, Central sphere | Low (Clean first) |
| 2nd | Mercury | Rocky surface, Base mount | High (Very close to Sun) |
| 3rd | Venus | Cloud layers, Swivel stand | Medium (Close to Earth) |
| 4th | Earth | Continents, Oceans, Moon | High (Moon is separate) |
| 5th | Mars | Red dust, Polar caps | Low (Isolated position) |
| 6th | Jupiter | Great Red Spot, Banding | Medium (Massive surface) |
| 7th | Saturn | Ring system, Support brackets | High (Rings extend wide) |
| 8th | Uranus | Axis ring, Icy mantle | Medium (Close to Saturn) |
| 9th | Neptune | Deep blue sphere, Base | Low (Clean last) |
Isolate and Wash the Sun
Begin the job by focusing entirely on the Sun. Clean the massive central sphere and the surrounding solar flare panels. Do not spray toward any other planet. Verify that the task list reads "Sun: 100%" before proceeding.
Clean the Inner Rocky Planets
Move outward to Mercury, which sits closest to the Sun. Use a narrow, controlled spray to avoid hitting Venus. Once Mercury is complete, wash Venus, followed by Earth (including its small Moon accessory), and then Mars.
Wash the Gas Giants and Saturn's Rings
Clean Jupiter's massive surface. Next is Saturn; be extremely careful when washing its wide ring system, as overspray can easily reach Uranus. Complete Uranus, and finally wash Neptune to trigger the achievement.
Water runoff can accidentally clean neighboring planets. When washing the Sun, stand on the opposite side of the room and aim your nozzle away from Mercury to prevent premature completion.
Best Equipment & Upgrades for Space Cleaning
Tackling the Solar System Exhibit requires highly efficient tools. The sheer scale of the gas giants, combined with the intricate details of the support mechanisms, means that starter gear will result in a tedious, slow clean. Upgrading your kit ensures you have the range and pressure to work safely from the ground or scaffolding.
Prime Vista Pro
- High-altitude reach
- Pairs with Triple-Tip Nozzle
- Ideal for massive spheres
Urban X Stream
- Concentrated pressure
- Uses Double Turbo Nozzle
- Perfect for stubborn grime
Adaptable Nozzle
- Instant spray adjustments
- Saves time on attachments
- Reduces accidental overspray
The table below ranks the best washers and attachments specifically for their utility inside the Washingham Museum exhibit.
| Equipment Name | Category | Cleaning Speed | Range Rating | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prime Vista Pro | Professional Washer | Extremely High | Long | High-altitude suspended models |
| Urban X Stream | Professional Washer | Extremely High | Medium-Long | Heavy grease on mounting brackets |
| Adaptable Nozzle | Universal Attachment | High | Variable | Quick swaps between wide and narrow surfaces |
| Turbo Nozzle | Focused Attachment | High | Medium | Stripping rust-like grime from support rails |
| SwirlForce Surf Ace | Surface Cleaner | High (Flat Only) | Short | Ground-level brass plaques and floor tracks |
Use the free Soap 2.0 system. Coating the massive spheres of Jupiter and Saturn in soap softens the thick grime layers, allowing you to rinse them off quickly with a wider 25° nozzle.
Finding the Last Dirt & Completing 100%
Stuck at 99% on the Solar System Exhibit? This level is notorious for hiding tiny patches of dirt on the undersides of brackets, the backs of planetary rings, and the detailed lettering of the informational plaques. Use a systematic sweep to ensure no spot is missed.
| Component | Common Missed Area | Precision Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Saturn's Rings | Inner rim crevices and thin mounting pins | Crouch directly underneath and spray upward |
| Earth's Moon | Backside of the small orbital wire | Walk behind the Earth model and use a 15° nozzle |
| Support Rails | Top ledge of horizontal ceiling tracks | Climb the scaffolding and use a long extension bar |
| Plaques | Grooves inside the brass lettering | Use a close-range 0° red nozzle pulse |
Final Clean Inspection Checklist:
- Confirm the Sun is at 100% before washing any planets
- Check the rear faces of all planetary mounting brackets
- Inspect the horizontal ceiling guide rails from above using scaffolding
- Clean the small informational plaques at the base of each stand
- Pulse the dirt highlight tool while walking a full circle around each model
Open your in-game tablet, go to the details tab, and click on any incomplete component. This places a bright orange marker on the item in the physical space, pointing you directly to the remaining dirt.
FAQ
Q: Can I unlock the PowerWash Simulator 2 cosmic ordering achievement in co-op?
Yes, online co-op supports up to four players on this map. However, your team must coordinate closely. If any player accidentally completes a planet out of order, the achievement is locked for the entire lobby during that session.
Q: Does spraying a planet out of order instantly fail the achievement?
No. You can spray other planets as much as you want, as long as they do not reach 100% completion. The failure condition only triggers when a planet is fully completed (indicated by the cash sound and UI notification) out of the correct order.
Q: Do the support structures and plaques need to be cleaned in order?
No. The achievement only tracks the completion order of the celestial bodies themselves (the Sun and the eight planets). You can clean the ceiling rails, base stands, scaffolding, and brass plaques at any point during the job without failing.
Q: What should I do if I accidentally clean a planet out of order?
If a planet reaches 100% out of sequence, you must restart the job. If you have already finished the Career Mode version of this level, you can select the Solar System Exhibit from the Free Play menu to attempt the achievement again.
In split-screen or online co-op, have one player focus exclusively on the active planet in the sequence, while the other players clean the floor, rails, and plaques. This speeds up the job without risking sequence breaks.
