Default Foam bath for her today.

Just wash them both today. Getting ready for July 4 long weekend trip.

Using MTM hydro foam cannon and Meguiars hyper wash.

Looking good Excite... Did you know that your hood was open on the GS while foaming her? The Lux wheels look very good on the van BTW. If you want a very thick foam, try CG Mr. Pink. That stuff is ridiculous.

Looks good!

What size tires do you have on the GS?

Looking good, buddy.... Looks like a pro wash. What is your plan for the cars from now until the weekends? Park them inside the garage?
I got home early yesterday and wanted to wash mine too (still clean but covered with a layer of dust) but then son got a new game so my plan was canceled. I do need to be somewhere this weekend so hopefully I can get her washed before then. There's a great hand wash place near me but it's always crowded on Fridays so I always end up washing myself.

WOW, looks great!!

How much of that beading was from the wash? When was the last wax done?

Also, where can I find that wash? I've been looking online and havent found a local place to get it from.

I also use Mr Pink but the foam is pretty loose. How should I mix the soap in the bottle before spraying so I can get that sense foam? Currently 1soap:4 water

And how high should the water flow be? Right now I keep it really low.

I did find multiple foam cannons for use with a hose or pressure washer. But the Meguiar's site lets you search for local venders but its not listing any near me or the site just wasn't working.

I'll have to try from home, work PC's are limited sometimes.

After you've sprayed off the car wash residue remove the nozzle of your hose and allow the water to flow over the body. The majority of the water will sheet off the vehicle and there will be very few spots left to dry.
