Powerwasher?

Do any of you guys suggest using a power washer when washing your car? I was just wondering if it harms the paint? I have a 1750 psi power washer but, im afraid to use it so if you guys could give me some advice that would be great. I use the old fashioned hose way right now lol like most people.

Keep it moving, and like he said don't use the concentrated stream. I've used one for about a year now and love how much easier it is to clean off the crap

I don't forsee any problems with using your own pressure washer. Just make sure that you don't get too close. Also, never focus your washer nozzle in a single area for too long, where there is paint that is.
