Using a foam cannon

Any tips and steps on using a foam cannon with washing??

 

just make sure you follow up with a t-shirt cannon

 

Hose off with the pressure washer…make sure the WHITE nozzle is on the gun.

Hit it with the foam and let it dwell a few min. I usually use that time to do the wheels.

Hose off the foam and do a light touch contact wash with 2 buckets with grit guards.

Hose off and dry with the electric leaf blower

That’s my method….

 

Any water spot or run from washing after

 

Nope…get in the body/rear view/door/lights/seams good with the blower and push the majority off the panels as best you can. Then follow with a MF drying towel and a squirt of detail spray to get the last remnant off.

The blower method works excellent with
well waxed/sealed paint. Now if you haven’t done that in a year that’s another story and the water won’t come off well. In that case: wash, clay, I’d wash again after claying, hand dry, buff if you’re going to and then wax/seal.

 

i always try and foam it twice. so start with dry car, hit it with foam cannon and let dwell a bit. rinse off with pressure washer and a tip that is safe for car paint. hit again with foam cannon and let it dwell. this time you can incorporate either the two bucket method or use like 6 microfiber towels and never reuse them during the wipe down. . then hose it off again. leaf blower off any water you can, micro fiber towel dry, and then use a quick detailer spray and another microfiber.

sorry, should have mentioned this. start with wheels and tires first. clean all four then do the body of the car.

 

Do your fender wells first, then wheels and tires last, then wash. Foam cannon in sections on real hot days even if your in the shade. I use a mild car wash and a multi purpose cleaner that is safe for paint prior any paint coatings but on a maintenance wash I just use the 2 bucket method, dry with filtered air drier, a nice spray was detail spray for a top coat on my coating.
