Like ArdWrknTrk said, your compressor only puts out a small amount of pressure compared to a real pressure washer. You could probably get close to that by putting your thumb over the end of the hose and only allowing a small stream of water thru.
Okay, maybe not close to 175 psi, but if you want to clean stuff with higher pressure water, your better off just renting a pressure washer, unless you plan on using it alot, then buy one. Their pretty cheap now a days.

That's like putting street tires on an IndyCar. You need a "Turbo Tip". It's basically a 0º tip that oscillates incredibly fast. They come in different patterns--circular, straight line, and I think even a box/rectangular pattern.
These are top-notch:

Thank You, Yes I know! 
We used to use these to clean off the lobster traps and boat bottoms.
The Graco I was using was borrowed from a painter friend for the day.
(I suspect he doesn't have a 4k+ unit or a turbo tip because he's sick of replacing siding that his guys cut through)
