pressuer washer

my next door neighbor just got a 2700 psi pressure washer and I was wondering if I could use it on my rubber roof at the 40 degree nozzle without any danger to the roof, I know I would have to stay away from the roof vents and anything else that has sealant around them?
thanks for any help

    Agree. I use the same brush I wash the truck with on the rv roof.

  • Only a few things i would use a pressure washer on. That would not be one of them.
  • I was on the roof of mine blasting away with my 3k unit a couple weeks ago. I was using the 30 or 45 degree nozzle - not sure which, but it's the middle of five and is rather safe. Worked great. I have the Generac unit. You should be safe with that pressure and wide nozzle.
