Before I knew better, I bent the fins on an a/c condenser on a jeep with a higher pressure washer one time.
Excellent. I new there was something special about that setup. The 1300 psi is low enough that it won't do any damage.

Did you check it by holding up to the sun when finished? How clean does it get?
