It usually does. Depending on how dirty the car is of course but generally it does release the dirt off the surface of the car and goes on the ground. There are some threads on Detailing World that illustrate it quite well

Its pre rinse (if necessary), foam, let dwell for 5 min or so, blast remaining soap/residue off. That will get rid of a majority of the dirt from what I've read in the past. Liquefying the dirt/bug guts is the general idea of the thing

You'll be hard pressed to see dirt on my car though. So I apologize in advanced for the future video I will make

Costco sells a Karcher that has 1750psi and 1.5gpm. Its working pretty well with the foam cannon so far

From what I've read on some forums, Karchers are quite durable for the price range. I'm hoping thats true but with Costco's refund policy (which never seems to expire lol), I'm not too worried

Aww well, I'm still enjoying mine. It works perfectly for my needs. Especially when coupled with my next thread starter I'm sure everyone will hate me
