It seems to me that this is a question of "reasonable use". IMO it's reasonable to wash your vehicle in any of the usual ways that you might wash the vehicle (e.g. using a hosepipe) at pretty much any time without fear of damaging it. Honda should make owners aware (e.g. a note in the handbook) of any usual ways of cleaning which might cause damage to the vehicle. So, on this basis I wish you well with your claim.
However... My dealings with Honda customer services (poor radio reception) were very much less than fruitful. In the end I decided to just live with the awful radio... I decided that if I continued with the claim I'd end up just hating the car. My conclusion was that Honda just couldn't give a toss. On the whole, I think the car's great, but Honda's attitude has certainly lost them a repeat customer in me. There are alternatives in the car market, and I vote with my feet.
I hope you have better luck with them than I did.
