Which almost seem redundant and a waste of time and product i suppose.
Let me put this debate to rest. The foam cannon does not wash your truck. It also does not speed up washing your truck. It is simply an important step in the washing process that now that I do it, will never skip. It loosens contaminants and Adds extra lubricant preventing swirl marks, especially on darker colors.
The best way to wash your truck:
-rinse vehicle with pressure washer and wide angle pattern.
-coat entire vehicle with foam cannon. I like chemical guys mr pink or honeydew. Many others will work.
-use 2 bucket wash with grit guards. Use Multiple clean microfibre mitts and designate one for wheels and other dirty areas.
-rinse with pressure washer.
-dry with gas powered leaf blower.
-Tire shine.

No problem at all! I have a backpack style commercial grade gas one and love how much power it has. I’m sure electric ones are great too.Just out of curiosity any reason you specified gas powered blower? I mean i have one of each i think next time i am going to try the electric blower as it is lighter.

I bought a foamer and have used it ones or twice
But with my Kärcher heat water power washer there is no easy change between...
The exhaust on my backpack is off the back of it. I get flawless paint after washing every timeI have always heard to use electric because the dirty exhaust from the the 2 cycle engine just falls back on your car. Which makes sense to me.
Seems like it would be a pain the butt if your washing the truck during the day when its hot out (in the shade). Wouldn't the soap dry up on the paint? I understand the concept of not needing to put your wash towel in the bucket and eliminating that potential source for redepositing dirt, but your still rubbing the paint with some kind of cloth/sponge/towel. This is where the swirl marks begin forming no?
I can control the pressure from the handle, that is something I don't want to looseDoes that handle in your picture have any special use or function? Why don't you just buy a different handle that has the quick connector?

I like that idea of removing the loosened particles before the mitts. Turns out I’m not a know it all after all!See Midnight Storm's post and steps above. He pretty much nails it. I personally rinse after the foam and before the 2 bucket. This way any particles that the foam is carrying away is carried away before I drag it across the paint with the mitt, but this maybe being a bit cautious. The whole concept is to remove as much dirt as possible before touching the paint (even with a proper mitt and washing techniques)
We had a run of bad weather here and it had been almost 2 weeks between washes... until today!See Midnight Storm's post and steps above. He pretty much nails it.
