Not an urban myth. Used wrongly these power washers can do serious
damage. My son has caused a lovely big dent in my bumper because the
head was far too close to the car.

Eh! Whats your bumper made of alluminium?

I agree George, urban myth. I sold them for close on 25 years, spent most
of my time demonstrating them. I've sold Warwick, Karcher, KEW (now
Nilfisk Alto) WAP & Gerni. I must have washed thousands of vehicles.

Only one single incident of paint damage in that time - a Lada Riva that
had been hand painted.

Properly applied paint cannot be damaged by a pressure washer. If a
pressure washer removes loose or flakey paint it was going to come off
anyway.

I was thinking of water getting down window seals and into locks - more that
what the car is designed to cope with. Just seems a bit unnecessary.
