The problem with a pressure washer is it still doesn't remove all of the grime attached to the paint. You have to PHYSICALLY touch that dirt in order to remove it. This is why at a touchless car wash, they use not only pressure to clean the car, but some of the harshest chemicals on your paint. Those chemicals are not good for your paint or your paint's protection (wax). Pressure alone will not get the job done and once you start drying the car, you grind all that matted dirt into your paint, creating damage. This is why I don't use a pressure washer to wash my car. It doesn't get it any cleaner, especially if the car has been driven in inclement weather.

If you are rinsing a wash mitt in your hand, you will never remove all of the dirt and grit like you will by submerging that mitt underwater. Submerging allows ALL of the grit to be released at once. Rinsing it leaves the opportunity for some grit to remain behind, no matter what amount of pressure you use. It also is more of a waste of water.
