High pressure water has never touched my car, but yes, some was sprayed up the exhaust for some fun 
It was simply a matter of stuff rusting... after removing some of the bolts by hand, you would be amazed by how little rust it takes to seize things up tight. I was using a 3' breaker bar to remove some of those bolts, putting enough weight into it to bend some Craftsman sockets, and the bolts had barely a dusting of rust on them. Surprised the hell out of me!

I'm considering getting their suspension setup as my S approaches 55k miles. Stock suspension is still responsive, but I can tell its not as tight as it was back when it was a wee one.

the trick is, tighten the bolt slightly before trying to back it out. I've avoided many a "seized" suspension bolt that way. It's a lot easier to do this trick with said 3' breaker bar.
