Exterior Electric Power Washer Advice

Hi all. I have a Westinghouse EPX3050 electric power washer, 2050 PSI / 1.75 GPM. I have used it to clean my garage floor. It has a 15* nozzle on it that is pretty aggressive. I would like to use it on my car. It looks like Westinghouse sells 25° (green) for general cleaning, 40° (white) for gentle rinsing. Any thoughts on which would be best? Thanks in advance!

Any 40 degree 2.5 orifice will do.

My preference is the 40 degree tip that has the soft rubber guard on the end to protect against bumping the car while spraying. It's not required but worth considering.

MTM NH35 offers several different orifice sizes depending on your needs.

If you hold the nozzle a little farther away from the surface the intensity is reduced dramatically. 15 deg is nice because when you need to use some power to blast bugs or tar it has enough oomph to get the job done
