Thompsons or fabsil and pray! If you have spread the fibres it might well leak. I don't think I would have tried it. Dry brushing is much safer. Hopefully you have got away with it.

Put it up and hose it down well. Does it leak? If it doesn`t, you`ve been very lucky. If it does, try reproofing.

You might have knackered it though.....if there were any pinholes or weak threads in the weave, the pressure washer might have made them bigger.
