My car wash has clouds formed from a proprietary compressed baby powder process that elevate the car and float it through the car wash. The water used is actually collected Unicorn tears which, as many aren't aware, contain no sodium and are amongst the most pure form of H2O in the universe (you can even tour their paddock out back while waiting for the car). As the car is washed, it is gently caressed with the top 2 microns of the fur from baby seal pelts harvested on a daily basis and then discarded. Soaps derived from the semen of whales are introduced to soften the dirt, elevate, and carry it away. The car is finally dried inside a full room vacuum using dry air captured by a well drilled to a depth of 10 miles where it is composed of completely inert gasses and has never been introduced to an oxygen environment until it hit the car. For a VIP fee, the staff will fix you a cocktail made with the final rinse water used on your vehicle (just gets incinerated anyway) as you are entertained with the flogging of someone who has been so careless as to not set aside all employment, family, household, relationship, entertainment, time, and financial obligations in an effort to keep your car cleaner than the 3rd optical refraction lens on the Hubble Space Telescope Platform.

I was thinking about a foam cannon, but being cheap & never knew of them, I nearly bought one. But then I was spray feeding my lawn & thought DAMN this is a delivery system in of itself & I would just through the bottle away. So yes I tried it out & it works.

I cleaned out the empty lawn bottle & filled with car wash & it works. MOST certainly the bought cannon is FAR better, but my cost 0 dollars.

I'll call it a win for me :)

TeddysStang: from your photos, it appears you washed your DIBmobile at a carwash which uses pressure wands. My local No Touch car wash uses multiple jets...nothing touches my cars but water spray. Drive in and then drive out...no track to pull your car through and damage your rims. The drier is a giant fan...no fabric. I was wondering about your objection to automatic car washes.
Touchless Car Washes typically have some pretty heavy solvents in the cleaning product that can strip away your wax or sealants unless you have some sort of opticoat or Qartz treatment that resists chemicals. Using them means you'll have to wax/seal far sooner than you would otherwise, or use it on a constant basis with their spray on wax/sealer, creating dependency.

I agree about the 'touchless' car washes....but here in MN in the winter...unless you have a heated garage with hot running water...they are the only way to really clean road grim/salt off of a DD. During the summer, I use a pressure washer with a foam cannon, pink foam soap, microfiber-noodle soap mitts, an electric leaf blower to blow 99% of the water off the paint, and then gently wipe with several clean microfiber towels. My new convertible got a double dose of of Jet Seal (two coats really made a difference compared to one coat), followed by two coats of Collinite 845. Touch up washes use a soap-wax solution followed with a detail shine coat.

Have you looked at how they wash your car at the hand wash? If they don't use clean microfiber wash and dry cloths for each vehicle, it is no better than going through one of those spinning rag car washes!

I have really hard water so 2oz of soap doesn't do squat in my cannon. I am using chemical guys maxisuds 2 so it is a good foamer
