Foam Cannon Cleaning Day

Nice! I have never used a foam cannon. After you foam it, do you use a nice wash mitt and wash it like a regular wash or does the foam just sit for a few minutes and then rinse?

I still actually wash it, but I let the foam sit for a little bit to get all the grime to lift off the paint. The honeydew soap I was using was very slippery and I was happy with the lack of effort I had to put into washing it. I just had a separate bucket with a little water and just some meguiars soap in it, that was honestly over kill but I'm very OCD and it isn't much product that I waste. The biggest thing I liked about the foam cannon was that I can pretty much do the whole car in swoop instead of panel washing like I normally would do. The foam doesn't dry up and leave that soap residue as quick as just normal bucket washing so that gave me time to foam the whole car, then go over it with a mitt and still spray it all off before there were any issues.

I also pre-clean the wheels with Sonax. They have foam cannons for regular hose pipes, but you won't get the level of foam that the pressure washer can give you, it's more of just a soapy water than actual foam from the regular hose versions vs the actual pressure washer ones.

I'm trying to work smarter instead of harder. My back hates me even in my 30's.

I love my foam cannon, and am really impressed with Honeydew Snowfoam. I like it so much I just purchased a bit 5L jug of it. Works really well.
