Contrary to what was said earlier, I used a pressure washer on my father's
house. It worked fine, removed most of the bad paint, and the new paint is
still on the house 4 years later.
The key is, obviously, let the surface dry completely.

P.S. I also used Bondo to cover some nail holes, and polyester resin and
fiberglass cloth to reinforce areas that were problems. They worked fine
too, but that is another story!
