    So my wife wants to get me something for about $40 for father's day, and I figured I'd get something to clean my truck. Which of these should I get?

    well that was easy, thanks guys.

    Are you using the gun more for a prewash, or do you actually go from a 2 bucket system to one and use the gun as the wash bucket?
