    It speeds up the washing process and helps pull dirt prior the hitting the truck with a sponge or microfiber.

    After a wash with the foam cannon the paint feels like it has very little grit in it, almost like it was clay/waxed on the sides. The front is another story but I didn’t get that result with just a bucket. I’m a fan, been using it for a few months.

    My "fear" with it is that it's just an instagram bro-cool thing to have. "Check out this awesome new gimmick that I use to make my overland truck sparkle" sort of thing. I'd like to have one because I do think they look cool (there, I said it.), but that's a lot of money buying a pressure washer, the adapters and foam for something without function. However, if it does make things easier and/or clean better, then I'm all in. We recently purchased a black vehicle and I'm already paranoid about keeping it nice.

    Nice score and good color choice!

    With a black car it’s going to cut down on those swirls big time! I had the power washer already but it’s still worth buying then dragging dirt around your new paint. It’s cheap enough to try and see the results for your self!

    Dude, I hit the exact same mileage at almost the exact same time yesterday. Weird. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a picture.

    Did you try turning the bulb around? LEDs are directional.

    Went with Morimoto LED fogs even though they aren't technically the shiznit anymore. Don't care for the square cube in a round hole look or any added cost beyond these for this truck................

    MIL woke me up at 7 this morning asking me to come change a flat tire.20190926_0708341.jpg
    Load the jack, air comp, and breaker bar with sockets in the truck and go to change it.20190926_103832_HDR.jpg I get there and her spare is flat. Try to air it up and there are dry rut cracks just hissing the air out.
    On my way home my wife tells me that I have to check her friends car thats making a thumping sound. I get home and find a drawer knob stuck in the tire.IMG_20190926_114628_01.jpg So I plug her tire and decided while I have my plugs out I'd plug my tire that had a screw in it.

    $130 for a pressure washer and $15 for a foam cannon is worth every penny IMO. Very happy with how mine performs.
