I like it! Actually sounds safer as I can never get the water in the bucket foamy enough to ensure adequate lubrication. I'd work in sections, though.

You only NEED lubricity, suds arent necessary, and a lot of people over soap.
I use a foamer a to eat away at built up crap without pressure

The sides keep the soap on the car rather than simply sliding off I think. Atleast that's how I imagine it works. I could be way off base.

Your post was super informative for an average person like me. Most posts are too technical, a novice would not know where to begin. The links to the items were very helpful. Thanks so much. You must have stock in Amazon and Walmart.

kinda like a soaking process. foam keeps area wet. i see. yah, i suppose for that purpose, it can have its benefits.

i prefer not using elaborate equipment as it's more things to worry about and more things to bring out and put away. this day and age, even waterless car wash works just as safely so.

for that, i use griot's spray-on carwash. it's great. especially for spot cleaning after driving through a puddle or something. no hazing, no swirls with common sense.

Hey, I just saw this, and I'm glad I could be of assistance.
I am a very dumb áss friendly poster over the Internet with lots of links and pics and such because for ME, if I'm not doing it with someone or watching them in person (case in point, the Internet...) I become a MORON...

And I wish I had stock in Amazon and Walmart, I'm just a cheap SOB looking for the best products!



If you or anyone needs any help or has any questions, feel free to PM me!
