Pressure Washer Recommendations

I need a recommendation for a good pressure washer for washing my car. This is really the only thing I am going to use it for.

I would like one that is electric. Also I would like one that I can put soap in to make a foam bath.

I am looking to spend around $200 to $250.

I would get a Karcher. They are great machines, and cheap. I'd get a 1500 or 1800 psi unit. My 1800psi one cost me around $180. Best investment to date (minus the polisher). I went through 3 campbell-haufield pressure washers in 6 months, I've had this Karcher for almost 10 months, and I abuse the crap out of it and still works great!

I have a Karcher as well and it works great. It's not as powerful as a gas powered washer, but if you're only buying it for the car, it's perfect.

Thanks, what about something to attach to make foam to cover the car? Any Suggestions?

The Kaercher has many attachements. You can suck in the cleaning detergent and foam the car, add a power brush and other attachments.
