    Any Graphic Designers around? Want a new logo/watermark.

    Foam cannon, rinse, then wash?

    I wash in the shade, so the foam drying on the car is a moot point for me. I let the foam dwell on the surface for a few minutes, the do my 2 bucket wash and rinse. I foam it again and then do my claying using the foam and soapy water as a lubricant, then rinse again.

    Pressure Washer

    I have a Husky gas pressure washer that I use for my foam gun. It has three tips, 25 degree fan, 15 degree fan and pinpoint. I use the 25 degree tip for cleaning wheels and wheel wells if they are exceptionally dirty.
