Best Washer Nozzle?

I've tried searching for the best hose nozzle to get for car washing, but haven't had much luck. So, I'm wondering what type of hose nozzles does everyone use? Which is best to get the job done (purely washing the car)? I've had someone refer me to this,

http://www.griotsgarage.com/product/...hose+nozzle.do

but I've yet to bite on that price.

Thanks in advance.

I just buy one at my local Home Depot. Every house nozzle I have ever bought ends up destroyed in about 6 months, whether it be from calcium buildup, car running over it, manufacturers defects etc...

I use an old one my dad gave me (and pretty sure was my grandfather's at one point). Looks something like this; I'll take an actual picture tomorrow:



Love the thing, and it's probably twice as old as I am. Pretty much indestructible and works great.

that's what I use, if I'm not using the foam gun or the pressure washer.

I've never seen anything like the one I have. Anything in the local home improvement stores is cheap plastic.
