Foam Cannon Question

[Paul_no_Longer_uses_this_account]

I recently purchased a foam cannon and wanted to ask a question. Do you hand wash a vehicle while the foam is still on or rinse foam off and then hand wash?

Rinse foam off then hand wash.

alot of times ill foam and rinse, then ill foam again and hand wash. if i drag out the pressure washer and foam cannon i might as well use it some more.

Agree with this - you do want to rinse the first foaming off, to wash away any dirt or grit it may loosen - but there's nothing saying you can't foam again after.

Agree with foaming to loosen up any heavy grime then rinsing to remove loose dirt & said loosened grime.
Then whether you choose to do a 2BM wash or foam again & wash with just a rinse bucket is personal preference...

I see quite a few people, on here & elsewhere, who foam their car then start washing straight away without rinsing. Most do use a rinse bucket but this still makes no sense to me at all. The original dirt, grit, etc is still on the car, the only difference is that it's now mixed with soap...

Personally I foam, rinse then do a 2BM wash
