That is right Kevin... When I use one I'm very careful about angle of
attack especially around seals etc. I respect the damage they can do
enough that my rental leases have always had a clause forbidding a
renter from ever pressure washing a house of mine. I have seen
inexperienced guys rip the siding half way off of a house using one
wrong. A neighbor of mine decided to pressure wash a shop building
before painting it. Not one to always know when to quit he washed it
so hard that by the time he got done that nice grooved pine siding was
shaggier than the winter hair coat on the horses. The half dozen coats
of paint it finally soaked into all that fuzz didn't look very nice
and they finally put painted steel siding over it.
