    Serves you right. Jet washers and bikes don't mix - if it does that to decals imagine what it can do to your bearings.

    Your rims probably look better without the stickers.
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    He tellin' it like it is. It looks less fussy that way - big yellow Mavic stickers are particularly bad. And jet washers are a bit of overkill.

    Using a jet wash AT ALL on a bike is too close. Don't jet wash bikes, it ruins bearings, cables, seals etc.

    I'd be more concerned about beginning to look for some marine strength waterproof bearing grease if this is your cleaning ritual.
