I think mine is 3.25 hp and 2000 or 2500 psi. I'm also guessing I should hold it closer to 12" away from the paint surface rather than the 3" or so I usually do when I wash the concrete.

I have different nozzles that are quick change. I use the 40 degree nozzle for washing. I dont really get too close to the car. usually I stand back maybe 3 or 4 feet to get the car wet. Switch to the foam gun and suds it down and let it dwell for a couple minutes to loosen all the dirt up. Then hit it with water again to rinse. I probably get about 12-18 inches away from the wheels and 2 feet back while rinsing the paint.
I think my power washer is around 2500-3000 psi. Id have to go check to be sure though.
