I covered this subject recently on my Substack page.

The article covers why pressure washers don't come out of the box ready to wash cars with, how to optimize an existing or new pressure washer, then three pressure washer recommendations at three price points. It also explains why pressure isn't the figure to focus on.

Buy the right machine, add the correct improvements, then be happy with your purchase without guessing or messing around with crap.

The Pressure Washer Number That Actually Matters (It's Not PSI)

No, https://www.mtmhydroparts.com/ you specify the brand of pressure washer and it will come with the correct fittings.
@LouG the hose makes a difference when it comes to tangling as well, I bought Karcher’s 9m replacement hose, which is softer and more flexible than the original that comes with the machines, so definitely tangled less with the standard spray lance. However since using the MTM spray gun over the course of the last few weeks I have had zero tangles.

If you do buy the MTM spray gun and foam cannon attachment, you need to get the spray gun with attachment type for your relevant washer (in my case it was Karcher - this part is an interchangeable quick release mechanism, so you can replace it if you move to a different brand pressure washer at a later date) but the attachment you need to specify for the foam canon is the quick release, as it will plug into the spray gun not directly into the pressure washer.

I got the Ryobi 1200 PSI 1.8 GPM Cold Water Automotive High Flow Electric Pressure Washer Kit last year and have been very happy with it. It's routinely rated as one of the top budget friendly power washers. Typically on sale for $150 at local retailers.
I also bought the thingy that’ll get the undercarriage too.
