Exclamation power washer?

Hey all
Just bought a 1400 psi powerwasher and was curious if this in any way will damage the paint? The box states its clearcoat safe but wonder if any one has tried this. thanks alot!

IMO, I wouldn't ever use a power washer on my cars. Too much potential for scratching (especially if the car is really dirty - you could be power washing dirt and water across the paint).

Just be careful and go at a angle to the paint. I use one in the winter to get the heavy stuff off before a wash.
