Everett Abrams of Deck Restoration Plus cont'd, The pressure and distance of this pressure washer is excessive. A "wood tip" for a pressure washer is white. Yellow is unacceptable for wood. Mill Glaze is a myth Google it and check out the Forest Products Laboratory PDF on this.
@edge1713 The pressure and the distance is a bit excessive, but that's what works for me. I just move faster and hold it a little higher. I recommend between 800-1000 psi and either White or Green Tip for beginners. Important to understand that this will loosen up the fibers of wood and after it dries, you Do need to Sand the Surface. As for the Mill Glaze, Benjamin Moore says the Brightner "Removes the factory "mill glaze," which can interfere with the adhesion of paints and stains.
