If you're looking for a cheap entry level pressure washer, anything off the shelf at home depot or a Karcher will suffice. Spend a little more on the attachments, hoses, fittings, etc. Any of the HD options will make foam with good attachments. I understand that not everyone wants to drop $500-$1500 on their first PW setup for car washing. If you do a lot of googling and YT watching, you'll see common recommendations.

In the end, I opted for the Active 2.0 and pieced together my fittings from Amazon and other car detailing sites. You can easily get an "OG" setup without paying the OG price tag on their site. The attachments, hoses, fittings, etc are what really make a noticeable difference to a beginner.
