Attach Foam Cannon to DIY Coin Car Wash?
I live in the city and I really do not have the space to do my own wash at home. I have been going to the local coin-op car wash and doing bucket washes and quick washes (using their pressure washer soap) and leaf blowing to try. Now that I have coatings on my cars, I wanted to try to utilize touch-less washes as much as I can. Is it possible to connect my own foam cannon to the pressure washer? Do I need a special attachment?

I doubt the tips are removable at a coin wash. Because think about it, if you remove the tip and forget to put it back on, what do the rest of the customers do that day? I know at my local coin wash, you're not even allowed to have a bucket.

If the tip isn't removable, perhaps there is an attachment I can use? What are my other options? Manual foam pump?

I think rinseless washes are your best bet. You might not think so but do it a few times and you will be trying to figure out what took u so long to start doing them

I do rinseless washes when I can but that isn't always an option (tight parking) so I would really to do some kind of foam gun using my own soap at the car wash.
Is this an option? https://www.amazon.com/Large-Sprayer.../dp/B01BLGJ1ME

Not committed. Would that be the same idea as using carpro Reload or a quick detailer as a drying aid?

If you need to foam you might have to get the iK foamer (big one) and use that.

That's an option. I got the small one for the same idea. It didn't work out for me

The small one is just too small. Only decent for wheels. The iK Foam 9 is much better to cover more surface but you’ll still have to pump a bit for an entire car.
