I washed my Corvette 2 years ago when I first got it But admittedly I'm a poser/waxer so no need.
But for my other cars, where did you get it Dookey?? Cost, PITA to use ??

NSF, Foam Cannons require a pressure washer to use, but you can get a foam gun, which attaches to a hose and get the same type/amount of foam for less total investment costs............ check out Adam's Polishes or Autogeek, pricing may be similar, but Adam's products have a 110% satisfaction guarantee

I love a clean car. I've had people think my car is newer that what it is due to some good old fashioned elbow grease.

I used a foam gun from Adams at a car show. It did great!

I get the same thing.

I have the foam gun and cannon. The gun is easier since it just uses the hose.

I too find washing a Corvette relaxing and the dopamine reward once washing is completed and the Vette is shining.

But, with a daily driver, I dislike and find burdensome washing every day when it rains...haha.

+1 for Adams foam cannon. Made really well and makes a ton of foamy suds. Neighbors come over every time I use it. Highly recommend.

I just got a new SunJoe pressure washer, 2150 PSI so that would work I assume but would rather just hook up to a hose if that works as well, so do they ??
Thanks

I have both and I prefer the cannon. I wet the car then use the cannon. I prefer the pressure washer to remove the suds after. I'll never go back to the hose only method.

The blasphemy isn't for the touchless wash ( I do it regularly), but for the $28 to do it! That's crazy money. Or maybe just NY (same thing?).

I am fortunate to have one that does an excellent job for $10. The most expensive one in the area is $12.
