    A bunch of shirtless men dancing in the white foam, shot from a cannon, pretending to wash their cars to the beat of some euro trash techno beats!

    I use one on my dirty bikes. Seems to do a decent job of getting gunk out of places that are hard to reach.

    I see the foam staying in place quite well. Also you get quick coverage of the whole vehicle.
    But i spray clean first, then foam, then sponge, then rinse and blow dry

    That sure is a lot of work for something that is just going to get dirty again the first time you drive it.

    I enjoy it.
    last time i washed mine was 6 weeks ago, aside from small bug pecks on the windshield, some brake dust and pollen, it’s still sparkling clean. the yard bitch otoh gets a was through the $7 car was every half year and that’s it.

    Foam guns are great for applying the soapy water. I use the slick products stuff on my bikes and truck all the time.

    I hate it, but my wife loves it. Her car is always clean and mine also gets the $7 car wash about twice a year.

    I use the Griot’s Garage one you simply put on the end of a regular hose. Doesn’t foam up significantly like a pressure washer cannon but does the job well. Definitely seems to soften up the grit significantly better and clean the bugs off a lot easier. I use a Chemical Guys soap in mine.

    Same here, minus the blow dry. I'll dry 'em in garage with microfiber towels. Unless we've had the 4-runner offroading, I can knock it and the Mini out in about an hour.

    I risne, foam cannon on some bug removal stuff, then normal foam soap and let it just soak for a while. Then mitt wash. Seems to work well enough for me.

    the great smell of that stuff is only topped by the wheel coat gel. Delicious
