Foam Cannon for Every Wash?

Foam Cannon for Every Wash?
Just wondering out loud I've been using a foam cannon for the last 9-10 washes and was wondering if there were any issues with that? Been switching between the CG Honey Dew Snow Foam and Mr. Pink Super Suds. I was originally hoping I could use it and go completely touch free with my washes, but there was usually some road grime leftover that bothered me so I'm also doing the two bucket with ONR after a foam presoak.
Thanks!

The purpose of a foam presoak is to help breakdown dirt and grime on the surface prior to touching (washing) the paint... it certainly will not remove all of the dirt. This additional step prior to washing is certainly not required, but it can be helpful if your vehicle is dirtier than normal or if you just want to have some fun with a foam lance.

As far as using it for every wash... I personally consider that overkill. I am usually time limited when I wash my cars, therefore I want as few of steps as possible... and for general dirt accumulation during non-winter months, the standard 3 bucket wash system is just fine.

I have been using foam cannon very often too to pre-soak the panel to loosen all the dirt/dust/grime. I rinse it next and follow up with a 2 bucket wash. It is a good thing to prevent swirl. It doesn't affect my Opticoat 2.0 nor Carpro Reload at all because these two LSP offer very strong chemical resistant.

Zach is spot on with his statement. I'll use the foam cannon on vehicles (1st time detailing) in order to loosen up as much grime as possible. This gives me the ability to see which steps of the detailing process I need to use with a new client vehicle. Afterwards I use the 3 bucket w/ grit guard for regular washes. This along with a good paint seal, usually works best for me.

Here you go
I use the foam gun sometimes as a quick way to rinse the car down after correction to remove dust that has settled on the car during the correction process.
