I use the same method and love it, so much quicker and I know if all the dirt is gone

Isn't shade a requirement for this method? Can't picture doing this method on a larger car in the sun without soap drying

I jus do all those steps you mentioned..without the mitt😂

I'm GOnna give this a shot

Do you wash all the foam off first before you foam and scrub again with mit?

Because the idea behind foaming, rinsing, then contact washing is that the foam and rinse first will remove more dirt from the surface first to reduce the chance of swirls when going onto the contact wash

@@MrHipwell1989 it's been proven that the foam does nothing more than a pressure washer would on it's own. MANY professional detailers will tell you that unless they are trying to (or are sponsered by companies) sell products.

The Adam's ceramic boost is a great product

True but don’t you think that once you move the mitt across the paint if you happen to pick up any contamination it just moves with the mitt all over the paint. Having 10 mits is expensive. Idk it does seem like it’s better. 🤷🏻‍♂️

He needs a 1.1orfice in his foam cannon.

Yep. I have to totally agree with the above as I too did notice that. You havn't really cleared the existing grit off the car. So ... good start but needs an additional wash off and new foam layer on.

Yup! I agree, I use mit when second foam layer is applied

But he's got a detailing business, he must know what he's talking about 😂

I was thinking the samsce thing. He's literally just washing soapy dirty and scraping the paint. Pan has a much better video on using soap cannon and pre-wash. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rseBoKWQ1tDJj2g.html

My current method as well. Snow foam, rinse it off. Snow foam again and then use this method.

Exactly. Why don't more people do this?

K M idk, most wash mitts are pretty cheap. It’s the fastest and cleanest way! It’s still 2 buckets! After the wash you wash out the mitts and they are good for the next time. It also keeps the wash mitts much cleaner especially if you use different color mitts. In most cases 3 buckets will always be used. One for soap, one for rinse or empty for the used mitts, and sometimes one for the tires and wheels.👍🏻👍🏻

@@akaredcrossbow How do you wash your mitts really well?

Jose Gap I wash out with high pressure garden nozzle! I also use a large detangling hair comb that has wide spaced bristles. I run that through the mitts gently when I’m rinsing/washing out. I have removed every other bristle on the comb so the comb has larger gaps so it can go through the mitts easily to agitate then rinse again. At the end of the day they are rinsed and agitated again and go into the washing machine with just a little car soap. On real filthy cars I have older dedicated mitts that are almost ready to get tossed so I use them. It all depends on how dirty the car is. If you rinse and foam the car properly you shouldn’t get the mitts that dirty. You can also rinse foam then rinse and foam again if it’s that dirty. It’s actually a simple, clean and fast way to do it when you get used to doing it. You can actually use 4 mitts as well if you think 5-6 is to much. One for the roof, windshield, hood and front. One for the rear glass, trunk and rear bumper. One for the side windows and mid section. One for the lower section. I also use dedicated mitts for darker cars. I know it sounds insane, but the least trouble I can cause the better.

@@akaredcrossbow Ok, thank you.

Yup this is what I do if the car is realy dirty multiple mitts Or if my car is not to dirty i rinse car then foam cannon let soak a bit then rinse off then onr the car with sponge use the hose to rinse sponge But this car has been coated with optimum gloss coat the dirt just comes of so easy

clearly he hasn't watched the Dallas Paint Correction video ... one bucket multiple wash mitts... never use the same dirty wash mitt on the car twice..... NO TWO BUCKET NONSENSE

Same here

@@darrylplunkett5676 yes! I use 7 mitts in one bucket with my car wash solution in it (I put the used mitt in a separate empty bucket). I rinse car. Then I foam it. Let it dwell for a couple mins. Then start contact wash. Top on my way to the bottom.

100% true I intend to apply this method too

Yep or if you are using the foam cannon, zero soap in the bucket (or water for that matter) , just six mitts as I wrote above then saw your message lol

i do that too, so that I don't inadvertently move any of the dirt from the first foaming back onto the paint risking a swirl or a scratch. the first rinse takes those particle lifted by the first foam off the car, i then agitate the soap from the second foaming with the mitt

Josh Landels can you use normal car wash in a foam cannon?

JaboClaybo hi mate, if you’re talking about car shampoo yes most will foam although dedicated snow foams are generally better as they have been formulated to sit on the panels and emulsify some of the road grime and debris. 👍

Now that's the way to wash a car. Super clean and careful.

Thats how i clean my car best results !

@@JaboClaybo You sure can, depends on the brand, some foam really well, just try the one you currently use. You may ask the brand what concentration they advise. Anyway, nothing wrong will happen. Likewise, most foam soaps can be used in a bucket. Some foams are very popular because they are slick, but definitely lack the cleaning power you expect. I spent a lot of money trying different soaps ! It all comes down to your personal preferences...

True it was quite runny you would need a thick soap for it to cling longer I’ll stick 2 the 2bM for now yeah it takes longer but my car paint looks great in the sun because I spend more time than I should pre rinsing before I make contact with the paint

Tundra Whisperer It doesn’t matter how long the foam stays on as long as the car gets clean.

Wasn't strong enough...I usually just pour the soap and fill the entire canister without diluting it and I barely use any every wash ..it maybe goes down like a quarter inch per wash and the foam is about half an inch thick 😂

The foam cannon is just for lubrication to help lift dirt with a pad or wash mitt. But yes on lightly dirty cars you can get away with a touch-less wash with a foam cannon and pressure washer.

A car that you regularly keep a sealant or wax on. Makes getting the mud, dirt & salt off of the paint that much easier. Example. My wife did a road trip a week ago. Bugs all over the front bumper. Now 2 weeks prior. I had prepped the car paint & applied 2 coats of Meguiar's Ultimate Fast Finish. When I detailed her car. I rinsed the car off with my electric pressure washer. Lots of beading & sheeting of water. I was able to blast off bug parts on the bumper with my pressure washer. Now the bug blood or whatever was still there. I put Meguiar's Mirror Glaze #62 Shampoo in my Tool Daily foam cannon (made by Trinova). I foamed the whole car. Waited like 2 minutes. Started washing the car (I had 2 gallons of that car wash in a bucket with 7 mitts. I never reuse a mitt when washing the car that time). I started with the top/hood/trunk. Then I did left side. Followed by right side. I did the back of the car & front of the car last. By the time I got to the front bumper. The foam had already pulled off/away the bug blood mess. I was completely shocked. It was the first time I used a foam cannon. It made the whole wash experience a breeze with a ton of lubrication. I now have Masterson's Mystic Snow Foam on order. Way more economical in my foam cannon with far better performance. I'll be even more impressed the next time I do my wife's car. The key is once every 3 or 6 months. You need to have some kind of protection put on your paint. Makes cleaning very easy. Despite what mother nature throws at you. #FACT So don't post unnecessary comments. I know for a fact that a vehicle that has protection on it. Is extremely easy to clean in the winter after a snow storm. How you talking. Sounds like there's zero protection on your paint lol.

@@1989pulsar Like I said... In Canada we cannot clean a car after a snowstorm.. it' s minus - 18° !!! And 3 feet of snow !

@@toddn.3123 Especially if you have a good quality/quantity wax on! Dirt comes right off

@@1989pulsar 😂all facts..luve it..i don't own a mitt..jus a pressure washer..foam cannon..and quality wax!! 👊

I like where your head is at!

I've been doing this! Except I use 4.

Exactly setting up a pressure washer takes time. He's using a electric pressure washer so he has to plug it in as well. More stuff to carry plus set up time. Two bucket method all day.

Rinseless watch really scratches a car.

Exactly, the key is having a decent pressure washer, now looking into getting one. This method within Colorado winter details using a garden hose would never work and doesn't. Looking forward to slimming down my resources with the addition of a power washer. ✌🏼

I need a snub nose gun with the standard quick disconnects of most pressure washer where did you get it and how much

I've had that Sun Joe for about a year now...My guess is you will probably experience a little leaking where your water hose connects to the unit...not really a big deal...you can actually see it towards the end of his video in the background....The power cord is nice and long so you don't have to have the electrical outlet that close to the water supply...... but, if you do get one, the biggest suggestion I have is....change out the pressure hose. The factory one will kink and bind like there is no tomorrow...effectively limiting your range, and maximizing your frustration. I upgraded to a 50 ft. pressure hose. Again, if you purchase one, and swap out the pressure hose, you may as well convert to quick connects at both the inlet and gun ends....just a bit more convenient. Overall though, it more than gets the job done and I would certainly buy it again

@@danparker6341 thanks Dan! I appreciate the thorough reply!

@@davidruggles996 you're welcome....I'm very happy with mine.

I sometimes use a foam cannon, because it is fun. But I would not say it necessarily saves me any time, because dragging out the pressure washer takes time in and of itself. Now, I would say his method is still flawed. Don't use a mitt at all. Instead, the bucket should be filled with soapy water and a dozen or so god quality microfiber towels. That way each towel is also lubricated, and you only use one towel each section. You don't have to wonder if you rinsed a mitt well enough, because you are constantly using a clean microfiber towel.

@@trekkeruss rinse first to get rid of loose dirt, then foam car, then use 4 - 6 mitts or wash cloths (depending on the size of your car) one for each section of the car, rinse and done. That way never any chance of dirt on your mitts from dirty water or the bucket (as there is none involved)

He has a link under the description...if you buy it that way it feeds the channel

Why stop at 2? Lol Try the 3 or 4 bucket method.

@@ZackScriven Because two is better than 1, and 3-4 means you're a trollish adolescent. I assume you don't wash your hair twice in the shower either. Tell me, do you know EVERYTHING? What's that like? Also, why do you immediately start a conversation with someone you've never met, that isn't actively trying to insult you, by insulting them? What exactly do you take away from something like that, and why do you do it?

thanks for this post, makes sense to me. Just got a new car and want to keep it looking nice.

Yup can't beat this method I f the soap runs off the car put some more on and continue But I like to get onr into my wash method some how

Hell yeah "we're here for a good time not a long time"

I use a filter. You can get one on Amazon and hook it up between the hose and your pressure washer. Fairly cheap too.

@@aftekkie Which filter is this? Camco?

Anything that's worth doing is worth overdoing.

Look for videos about rinse less washes or waterless washes.

123456bmx is it worth over doing a car wash on a lease? :P

Alex Dresko I have tried both, just not sure how much I should care about scratches...maybe I’m overthinking it haha
