Honestly touch-less car-washes are pretty much useless, they can knock some of the crud off but you will pretty much be left with water spots, id say if you are looking for a simple wash method id do the rinse-less wash, it works very well in most situations

I have never tried that, do I assume correctly that you still have to towel dry it to get a good sheen?

How clean will that foam cannon actually get the truck? What is the process? Spray on, let sit, and rinse? I'm interested.

A good alternative is the ribseless wash ONR. Quick easy and is a simple process that doesn't require the whole process of dragging out a hose. It'll be my go to for regular washes from now on since I've started using it. Perfect for pollen season

this ultimately becomes a presoak, you spray it on thick like this, and let it soak, it pulls dirt away from the paint and lets your mit wash it off without it swirling the paint...
drying is the same as you always do to get your baby dry

Okay, seriously. I don't know anything about these foam washes. My truck is very dirty. Road grime, pollen, etc. Is the foam something you just spray on and rinse, or do I still have to use a mitt? I rarely wash my truck anymore, because it takes so long. If this is something I could do every other week, with minimal fuss, I might actually start washing it again.

Yeah you still have to use a bucket an mitt. Just helps to get the dirt off instead of scratching it

I just use the touchless washes during the winter.
During the summer, I use the Rinseless Washes unless the truck is really dirty, then I wash the full thing by hand. I found the Optimum products work really well for the Rinseless Washes.
Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax, no rinse car wash, rinse free car wash, optimum no rinse
Optimum No Rinse Wash & Shine: clay lubricant, optimum rinseless wash, no rinse car wash, optimum detailing products

Its fun!
Once a week for two years and not a single swirl on that paint

I don't even know what a foam cannon is, but it looks fun lol. I need to read up on this. Which foam cannon do you have? Would you mind posting a link?
