Any pressure washer will be fine. It's the foam lance you need to be good.

I have one from Elite Car Care and it does me fine. Just make sure when you get the lance you specify the correct connector for whichever type of PW you get  :happy2:

Flow rate is more important than pressure. Other than that, any should suffice. I used to have my dad's old PW:

A K2.02 that was the size of a small portable radio and that managed to snowfoam the car fine!
