Pressure washer is far better than regular washing. I had a Karcher one at my mums, just a cheap one but it did the job. You don't need to spend hundreds.

I think Halfords have them on deal the the moment. Not sure what the figures stack up to, but some decent reductions?

I used to work in a car wash and the ones there were even more powerful. The only paint that came off was already damaged before it got washed. Also if you get really tight up on weatherseal ie. bottom of the sills etc. you could mark them, but you would need to be trying.

I remember there was a big thread on the B&Q ones when they were in the sale. People were going crazy for them
