*Edit for ya C's*

Actually what I do is just steps 1-3 and use the 2 bucket method and just WIPE (not scrub) the dirt off.

The foam does a great job at picking up the dirt and grime off of the car.
that works too.

BTW what are you using soap are you using? I just ordered the CG citrus wash and gloss and will be picking up duragloss soon. My mix is about 2 oz of CWG and 3 of duragloss.

BTW #2. I found a different type of foam cannon that is the same. its a pw mall one. I'll give more details when I get more. Its suppose to be the exact same thing but cheaper and ships from the US.

Actually for better cleaning do not rinse the car just foam the car over with the cannon, and i'm glad you cancelled the order Polished-bliss are a mega rip off here in the uk, ?47 for a cannon is ridiculous and with the exchange you are cheaper looking at companies nearer home.

I Highly reccomend Chmical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss thats what i sue on my customers cars.

You can get a cheaper one.

Check out this thread http://www.detailingbliss.com/forum/f34/lo...me-11600-3.html read it. Or if you're lazy on the last page I put together a couple of links of things you'll need to buy.

Meister I paid $65 bucks for mine on Ebay from this vendor http://cgi.ebay.com/KARCHER-K2-25-1500-PSI-ELECTRIC-POWER-PRESSURE-WASHER_W0QQitemZ180405615813QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2a01033cc5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
They're local to me so I just picked it up cash money.

Thumbs up

So the recommended Foam Guns are the CANNON type(s) that operate with power washers as opposed to the gun models that connect to a standard garden hose ?

just double checking - cause I'm not too sure of the difference in application or results...
