    First off, I need a new spray nozzle.

    I'm not a fan of this type ..

    Or this type, I can never find an actual setting I like.

    I've mainly used your typical adjustable pressure old-school style:

    I'm looking for something better.

    What are you guys using these days? Anyone tried either of these two?

    Use one of these. Cleans great and you will use less water.

    If you don't have a power washer this is almost as good.
    Costco sells the Bon-Aire Ultimate Water Blaster UWB-1HD for $15. Home Depot & Lowes sell them for $20. [​IMG]
    The tool extends from 3 1/2 ft. to 6 ft. The end pivots full 360 degree rotation. Ball valve shut off at base. Works great to rinse mud :mudding:or salt off underside, engine and wheel wells.I use it to wash my whole :taco:truck and car. Comes with fan & jet nozzles.

    I have one but it's gas .. I do use it for initial spray down after a day in the mountains or a weekend camping but I don't want to have to drag it out and set it up every time I wash.
