generally, the only thing i use a pressure washer for is my under carriage. Pressure washers aren't good for your wax or your paint, nor the t-top seals. I don't know specifically if it'll peel the stripes, but I just stay away from pressure washers overall.

You can't beat a good hand wash using the best mitt available.

Even if you pressure wash you usually still have to go over it by hand anyway to make it completely grime free.

Hand wash!

i use to work at a car wash and i wouldnt reccomend pressure washing ****, youll get eerything off by hand a lot better. ill never take my bird to a car wash or use a power sprayer on it.

i would never reccomend anybody with nice paint to ever go through a drive through car wash, trust me

When I lived in a dorm I just had my real nice mit and carwash accessories. I'd go to the jetspray for a light mist on the car, and wash it by hand outside the bay, and pull it back in and light spray it rinse.. pull it out and towel dry and wax

I dont pull the trigger on the pressure washer. Just let it "mist" the car and rub it down with a mitt or peanut. I made the mistake once of using the pressure and it stripped the clear coat the size of a quarter on the nose before I noticed. Baaaad deal!

I would stay away from the pressure washer. It might lift the corners. by the way here is a preview of what your will look like.
