    It also carrys away debris as its falling from the car. All around great thing to do to minimize scratching.

    Most definitely, the more debris you can blast away without physically touching the car, the less dirt you grind into your paint when you actually use a wash mitt.

    Will a pressure washer not remove any wax or sealant on the car?

    Pure carnauba maybe, but unlikely. Sealant definitely not.

    You will still need a quality mitt. The foam helps with lubricity and reducing swirls.

    IMHO (this is how I wash) I would spray down the truck with the pressure washer, use the foam cannon to foam the entire truck, let the soap dwell for a minute or two and then wash the soap off with the pressure washer. Then use a 2 bucket method to hand wash the vehicle.

    For my hand wash after snow foam I use ONR (optimum no rinse) and dry each panel after it's been washed.

    One bucket for rinsing the mit. One for your car soap.
