Pressure washer on fibreglass boat

Hi guys,

Recently bought a pressure washer (1800psi ).
Is it ok to wash my fibreglass boat with it or could it be harmful to gelcoat.

Cheers for advice,
Joycey

Always used to use acetone to clean and detail, depends if you can get your hands on quantity and whether this is for a regular clean or a detail.

Just avoid stickers, etc :-p

I made a big mistake with a karcher, I thought I was standing back far enough that the pressure would not be too severe for the paint and stickers, aaarrh wrong lifted the quinine stickers straight off big big mistake
