Bikes: Some silver ones, a red one, a black and orange one, and a few titanium ones

At a couple of meters away, the “pressure” part of the pressure wash is kind of nil. At that distance, the water is more of a heavy mist than any kind of directed spray. Most all modern (quality) components are sealed well enough against water infiltration to resist the spray from a nozzle being centimeters away from the bike. I wouldn’t put the nozzle right against the bearings but GCN has done it in a video on Youtube titled “Should you jet wash your bike?” That’s a bit extreme but it didn’t cause problems.
