Years ago when I was power washing my parent's car in one of those coin operated car washes, I noticed a little something stuck to the plastic bumper, so I aimed the nozzle at it a bit more to get it off. It really started to come off, but was still hanging on, so I aimed a little closer. It was only a couple seconds later that I realized what I was doing was cutting into the bumper with the water stream, and that "thing" stuck to the bumper was the flap of plastic I was carving off the bumper.

I cut it off with my pocket knife and didn't say anything. If my parent's noticed the gouge (the size of a penny) they didn't say anything either.

Power washers are the debbil.
