One of the problems with using a pressure washer is that the water stream only comes out one end so you end up fighting the back push the whole time. If one must use a water jet to clean, build one out of pipe with end caps. You drill one hole in the center of the front end, and three to four holes of smaller size pointing out at angeles on the back. That will compensate for the thrust from teh front hole.
For your air toos, keep a bucket of anti freeze on deck and drop your tools in it after the job and before they start to dry out. The anti freeze for most auto applications has rust inhibitors that will lengthn the life of the tool.
for my air tools I have just flushed em and then oiled them.
I try and get cheap ones from home depot for 15 bucks
