Default Washing the ISF with a Portable Foamer!

Hey Guys, I recently watched AMMO's video on a foamer/aerator he used to wash his car and thought to improve upon it:

I live in a condo with no access to water or a pressure washer system, so this was the next best thing I can do.

What do you think?

I saw you posted this on Reddit. I was going to message you to see if you were on here when I saw that you were washing an IS-F lol .

1) I think you should move somewhere that has water!

2) How does the video end? What did you do with the foam without water???

Been using AMMO products for years. Larry's one of the only guys actually innovating detailing products IMO. My FOAMe get's here this week.

With no access to water or power washer, how do you get the suds off?

What 3rd world country do you live in that doesn't have access to water?

Point well taken, the Great Lakes shared between Canada and US is only the largest fresh water supply on Earth

I should have made this clearer in the video... but I would use a waterless system in my condo's garage. Like AMMO FROTHe. For the coin wash, I would take this and use my favourite foaming soap such as Adam's Honeydew to spray the car down there. Then simply rinse it off after with the pressure washer in the wash bay. You have control over the detergents you use vs the generic ones they provide there.

1 - I wish I could!!! Where I'm at, there are bylaws where you're not allowed to wash your car at home!!! So in a sense you're forced to go to the car wash bays...

2 - I just foamed it at the wash station with Meguiars shampoo for demo and rinsed off after. You can use a foam specific detergent instead

I've been subscribed to ammo for some years now I also seen this video and I'm very interested in his product. I feel like I need to support him just because of all the knowledge I've learn just by watching his videos. I actually ordered one but not yet used it.
