Can I use high-pressure hood to wash my car?

It that OK for my car's paint?

Thanks!

I've been washing my car using a Kärcher high-pressure washer with no problems whatsoever. I couldn't find the exact model on their website, but this one's pretty close:

Hope this helps.

I use the kind at the "do it yourself" car wash and I use the foaming brush. I just won't do "drive through" wash.

Just be forewarned that if you have paint chips missing from your hood, a high pressure blast of water can get under the paint and bust the edges loose, making the chip even bigger. I was under the impression that the Yaris' paint is kinda' fragile anyway, so I'd be a bit wary of it.
