I always use my 3300psi using the wide spray tip.. but stay back from the dash as no switches are waterproof and be mindful of the reflector and graphics stickers. The rest..."let her have it" :)

I bought a power washer handle, one without a wand with a tip you can change spray nozzles. That works great, no awkward angles to get underneath and all. I also picked up a foam cannon dispenser and I will be trying Chemical Guys tough mudder soap to see how that does. As stated above probably stay away from electrical connections and any spot that has a grease zerk and hubs.
Have fun!

Power wash away!  I even bought an undercarriage attachment so I can get underneath real well.  I grease the zerks almost every powerwash just to be safe.
