You probably know a lot more about this stuff than I do over all, there's still a lot that I'm learning about detailing. But from my experience 1500 - 2000psi is great for washing a car! ...
When I used a pressure washer was at work to clean trucks. IIRC, the washer was rated at 2000 psi. More than once we knocked a chip out of the paint and once removed about a 3"x6" chunk. But this was over 30 years ago and maybe paint is a lot better now. Or maybe it was all the dings a work truck receives that gave the water a place to "bite". Or maybe I was young and dumb and didn't know what I was doing. Anyway... you certainly seem to have more experience (and more recent experience) with cleaning cars than I, so I'll recommend that ppl take your advice and discount or ignore my previous post.
