im still trying to figure this out, why do people pressure wash their rims? if you haven't already figured it out, pressure washer are meant to remove stuff off surfaces I.E paint, dirt, stickers that are attached to wheels. If you do a good hand cleaning you shouldn't have to blast off any soap or dirt.

Ouch!

Yeah, you have to be really carefull with pressure washers!

I used to paint houses and had to pressure wash them before we started painting...Some times if I wasn't paying attention I would take off pieces of the siding! Those things can be dangerous!

I wouldn't let a powerwasher anywhere near my car. We use those at work to blast paint off old fencing.

I'm picky about types of sponges\clothes to use let alone letting a pressure washer near my wheels. Call up ray's and see if you can get a sticker pack or something, I'm sure they get it all the time.
