  • 15° Nozzle (Yellow): Provides a powerful, fan-shaped spray for intensive cleaning of concrete, brick, and other hard surfaces.
  • 25° Nozzle (Green): Offers a wider, medium-pressure spray suitable for general cleaning of wood decks, siding, and other soft surfaces.
  • 40° Nozzle (White): Produces a broad, low-pressure spray ideal for delicate surfaces like windows, screens, and vehicles.
  • Foam Cannon (Black/Green): Used for applying detergent or soap. Fill with appropriate cleaning solution and attach to the spray gun.
