    Haha. Yea we get a lil rain over here and the weeds take full advantage. They think their on roids or something. Haha.

    FYI. That wasn’t the foam gun spraying the sidewalk. That was all me guys.

    From experience, the only problem using a weedeater as a snake weapon: If in your excitement, you feed it too fast and too deep, it'll grab the snake (BRUUUBB, BUB, BUB) and fling it, possibly back onto you. :D

    Forgive my stupid question, but this really gets all the dirt off without having to use the mitt? I love the idea but somewhat skeptical. I really want a water deionization filter stand to wash the car with. A friend has one and he never dries his cars and he has no water spots thanks to the deioniztion.

    Not sure about removing all dirt, I haven’t used it yet. I was under the impression that you get better foam coverage and les friction on the paint when scrubbing. I think that friction contributes to you getting swirls on your clear coat.

    Somebody correct me.

    On a hose, I doubt they will get it all, but it does remove some of the heavy stuff so you're not moving it around on your paint. The foam cannons on pressure washers take off more, but will probably still need some finish work. A negative would be having to drag out the pressure washer every time to wash the truck. If you're a mudder, it would be great.

    I was waiting on detailing experts with real experience. @War Machine

    I use them with a pressure washer, but haven’t tried one that attaches to a regular hose. I assume the concept is the same.
    They are good for when there’s a lot of caked up mud on the paint. Not sure which soap you got, but I use Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam with mine. I spray it on the truck, let it sit for about ten minutes, then rinse it off. It dissolves all of the heavy stuff making it safer to wash.

    I don’t usually wipe the truck while the foam is on there. I got to a regular wash after. I’d rather get the major crud off before wiping the truck. Not to say it’s a bad thing to use it that way, I’m just pretty paranoid. I’ve definitely done it that way before.

    That is true, though I’d recommend getting the heavy stuff off first.
