I won't use a pressure washer, want to the keep the graphics where they are. I use Protect All Quick and Easy Wash, we have hard water and it does not leave any hard water spots that I can see.

Especially when you look at the (non existant) seals around clearance lights. Grrr!

I had my dealer caulk those as part of my "little stuff" warranty work. Some of them were caulked from the factory and some weren't.
I caused the center seam of the popup I used to have to fail by pressure washing it. It had an aluminum textured roof (like a fridge) and that was the only way I could get the crud out of the texture. It was fine after I recaulked it, but that was not a pleasant weekend.
I use mine in the winter only to remove the heavy stuff up here in the "Great White North". Have to be careful though as I'm sure mine would do damage if you used the wrong nozzle,pressure etc.

Finally got around to getting one for the house and it sure seems like it could do some damage to a vehicle with improper use.
Any good, bad advice is appreciated.
You can always test the pressure by pointing it at your face. I also recommend turning the pressure to the max and straight streaming the radiator, and intercooler stack to remove bugs.
