Oh wait, I know the answer to this one...
Into my LBS walks Toni Colom, local pro who rode for Astana - decked from head to foot in Astana gear, Trek in Astana colours, etc, go figure.
British customer standing next to me says in a voice way too loud "Why do these people insist on dressing themselves in Replica kit, dont they know how stupid they look"...

The thing to really think about is that you know you're hearing rubbish from shop staff because you know a lot about your cycling. But say you walked into a shop selling things you didn't know much about, would you leave the shop with their advice? Many of you might be walking around with bottle of wine, driving in a bad car or carrying a bad investment because you fell for the sales bull

When quizzed further about high pressure water defeating the seals on hubs, bottom brackets, pedals, his response was 'ah, no problems, all bearings like that are totally sealed these days.'

Which is basically true, just don't spray straight onto the bearings and you'll be fine with a pressure cleaner.
