If you go high pressure look into a Turbo nozzle. Those things are wicked.

I agree on going heated but you don't need anywhere near 4K psi on one. The combination of extreme heat and pressure is devastating to grease and oil. I have a 1500 psi hot pressure washer and it will remove paint in wheel wells if not careful.
I also have a good cold pressure washer that hasn't been used in a while. It's great for cleaning gutters on a house and a thousand other things but it's absolutely the wrong tool for cleaning automotive grease and oil type dirt. You can do a better job w heat and 1/3 the pressure.
Hot washers are several times more expensive than cold ones, however.
