I just received this pressure washer Shop Greenworks 1700 PSI 1.4 GPM Electric Pressure Washer at Lowes.com (http://www.lowes.com/pd_336396-53393-51012_4294747250_4294937087_?productId=3295400&Ns=p_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr|0||p_product_qty_sale s_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl_Pressure%2BWashers_4294747250_429 4937087_%3FNs%3Dp_product_prd_lis_ord_nbr%7C0%7C%7 Cp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1&facetInfo)= as a gift and was wondering what's the best type of car wash products for it. I also remember other people posting links for a good foam gun from HD or something similar (plus whatever fitting I might need) and was wondering what everyones thoughts were or if I even need it since it comes with a wash dispenser. Please understand that I've never owned one before so I hope that doesnt sound like a stupid question. I typically do a two bucket wash and have also just purchased optimimum no rinse plus. I'm hoping to using this for a quick wash and go since my hatchback on my gti does get filthy. Could I also use a wax for this, or just stick to my normal quick detail in between 845 waxes

I did some searching around and found that several people like the foam cannon but there was also a blog that said theres an identical foam cannon for about $48 the only difference is that it didn't have the logo on the bottle. Will AG match the price? If it was only a few bucks I wouldn't even care but the other gun (I think a magnum or something like that) is over $50 cheaper. Any suggestions on a great foaming cleaning to go with the cannon?

the one you found for 48$ ag wont price match i can bet on it as its not labeled it needs to be same exact product labels and all, i would get the one you seen for 48$ just remember you will still need an adapter to fit it to your lance, the correct adapter would be a bosch style adapter, i have the same lance on my husky(got it for free with no lance/hose) now i don't have a foam cannon but did a lot of research and that would be what you need.
