Unfortunately I don't have a pressure washer or even a hose at my home address but I get where yiur coming from. The APC I use for removing old wax etc is basically a salt free fairy washing up liquid so it does foam up very nicely,on a par with a good shampoo anyway. Its just good at removing old crap without claying etc so its faster and to be honest I only do that rarely. Doing that is what I have to do with car shampoo on a regular basis which isn't the best I know but its the best of a bad job due to location. I try minimise the damage with lots of rinsing with a watering can before hand and nice light pressure with multiple buckets and wash mits.

More good advice. Thanks.
Regarding the rubber trim arounf windows etc. How do you guys stop the sealant/wax from going onto it? Do you just do it slowly/carefully?
stealthwolf:
One thing you can try is to protect the trim so that it's easier to wipe the wax off.
I tend to do the trim last and means going over them with a triple duty brush and some apc. Takes off any wac residue.

To be honest its Polishes that you really want to try keeping off any rubber/plastic, with regards to Waxes and Sealants its not too bad. Just give them a wipe after you have waxed/sealed.
stealthwolf:
+1 - I've never really found waxes to be much of an issue in staining plastics. What I hate though is when the wax cures and you can see the white residue in crevices.
Managed to get some detailing sticks off ebay for this, which help immensely/
