    I've heard of foam cannons but, never did much research on them; need a house for it to be usable. So do you just have to coat it in foam then rinse off or is it more so of foam then wash mitt to really clean it then rinse? I'm sure I'll find more info when I'm looking to get into that.

    You guys don't need all that fancy stuff, nature washes your car for free with all natural dihydrogen monoxide every time it rains.

    The snow foam is essentially a touch less wash of spray, let it set for a few, and then rinse off. If you want to go the extra step in-between the wait and rinse, you can brush or mit it, but it isn't required.

    I only brush it because after I normally hit it with a detailer spray to protect it a bit.

    :bananadead:that just makes me cringe hearing that. That's the only way my gf has cleaned her car...then asks me questions of why her paint is starting to fade out in spots :annoyed::frusty:

    Good to know, definitely could help speed up my washing time instead of 6-8hrs per vehicle. ....I am way too picky about that shit. I've been surprising myself lately with noticing how much my cleaning process has been removing the walmart special touch-up paint that my grandfather used.

    If your looking for a good routine wash that'll be quick this will be it. Dries quick, and the Vo7 hyrbid detailer / sealant is well received by many.

    No prob. The pressure washer cost if you don't have one is deff a factor. But I use less than a soda bottle cap worth of soap for 2 vehicles and I have a gallon jug of this. I'll be set for years. And the chemical guys soap is biodegradable which is nice.

    In the long run I'll be saving money and have a better maintained vehicle.

    Minus the scratches. Lots of tree tickles. But boy do they shine.

    You're in the same neck of the woods I am. I'd suggest the snow foam for you. Like I said before , that soap drops everything off the body. I'm letting a buddy try it this weekend. We'll go mud first and I'll throw up a video if I remember.
