Power Washer?

Does anyone use a power washer to wash their Escape?

No ; just a 5 gallon bucket , car wash soap , a car wash brush with extension handle and a garden hose
Power washers have a tendency to force water into areas that should remain dry .

If I used a power washer it would blow past the ill fitting classic's door gasket. Can't think of anything else it might damage, used properly...

I use a power washer for the initial bulk cleaning when I've just returned from driving on muddy back roads. I do the underside as well on both the truck and trailer. It doesn't do a perfect job but it sure gets rid of the majority of stuff.

Yes, a little bit of common sense is required about where you point it.

Never just use a hose sprayer which can be set on a gentle spray .Pat
