Default Got Soap?

So, I ordered the Gilmour Foamaster II Foam Gun and the Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss from Detailed Image and decided to wash my car today. Oh boy, this thing works like a charm.






And then CLEAN!!!!!

Nice. Looks pretty effective. How long did the suds last on the car? Also how hot/cold was it when you tried it out?

Since it was about 10:45 am that I started to wash, the sun was coming out and it was getting to about 74-75 degrees outside. So, the suds pretty much lasted for about a minute or so until the sunlight started to dry it up. It would have been ideal if i started around 9 am. It was still cloudy then and cooler.

What are the benefits of this over a traditional hand wash? Is there any risk of taking off Zaino coats?

You still have to hand wash it. Ok, basically this is how it works: all the soap does is pretty much elimates all the contaminants or dirt preventing swirls and such. So you apply the soap first from the gun and then rinse and then hand-wash your car like you normally would. So you pretty much do alittle more work on washing your car. But it's fun
