    I think this is the pressure washer I have:

    I know it has a lower pressure nozzle, is that supposed to be the one I used to rinse the car after foaming it up? I don't know what the pressure cutoff is before it can start damaging the finish.

    Nice pressure washer. The 2.3 gpm will give lots of cleaning power. The 40 will be great for final rinsing but personally, I think the 15 will be to direct a stream for use on the car. Go to Lowes or Home Depot and look for a tip with a 25 degree fan. If you keep the tip at least 36" from your car and take care around emblems and any chips in the paint, you'll be fine.

    Yep 25 degrees is perfect I never have a need for anything else in detailing applications.

    0 degree turbo nozzle ... lmao

    Just kidding ... the 25 degree one is my favorite. I have a similar pressure washer 3000psi with 2.7 gpm ... perfect for the house and cleaning the car.

    Thanks. I'll see if I can find one, so far all I see are combo packs on the web site.

    Oh cool, just checked the washer and I actually have all the nozzles already. They must have gotten picked up at some point, 25 degrees it is.
