Pressure washer question

I currently have a wolfgang or whatever it is called foam gun that works off the regular garden hose. I was thinking of getting one of the pressure washer foam guns to use with my pressure washer. I was wondering if it is dangerous to use a pressure washer on the cars? I've seen many videos of people using it but was just wondering.

I use my pressure washer all the time to wash my car. I am very careful with my pressure washer. I usually don't use any pressure tip or setting that I cannot stick my hand in front of, at about 6 inches distance. I also use a foam gun to spread suds all over the car as a pre-rinse. It works great and the high pressure spray is great for brake dust, bugs stuck on the front of your car, etc. My only advice, use common sense. If you think the pressure is too high then turn it down or change the tip on the gun. You should not have any problems and don't stick the spray right on the paint, again, common sense stuff.
