    Re: foam gun wash dry then 2 bucket method?

    Lots of very good info that I totally agree with. It for whatever reason if you have terrible water hardness or have to wash when the sun is high and bright, I’d suggest investing in a DI water filtration system as suggested by Tony.

Would you be giving more time to have less water stain if you constantly spray the car down while working on each pain.. then it won't have chance to dry.Exactly Only wanna do this after foam gun washing and not really wanna dry the car and then dry it again after 2 bucket method

    That is why I always wash in the early AM. Been doing it all summer. Washing a vehicle in the hot sun is no fun.

    Re: foam gun wash dry then 2 bucket method?

    I'm down here in Portland, OR. I use a foam cannon on the power washer and also a foam gun on the house hose. I usually foam, let dwell, then full rinse, foam again, and then do a 2 bucket wash. If I see that the panels are drying while I am washing the other side, I just foam it again. The same with the washed side...once I finish one side and go to the other, I'll check the first side and if I see it's kind of drying, I'll foam it again. But even I don't foam it again, I usually hit the whole car to empty the foam cannon or gun and then rinse. I use Meguiars x-press wax as a drying aid, so any water spots that might have formed while washing are wiped away during the drying process.

    Don't over think this. Absent washing the car in 95+ degree weather, we don't have to worry about panels fully drying while we're washing.
