What "Wash and Foam" Means
-
Wash → The actual cleaning step (removing dirt, dust, road grime).
-
Foam → Using a foam cannon or foam gun to cover the car with thick suds. The foam lifts and loosens dirt so you don’t rub it directly into the paint.
🧴 Types of Foam Wash Products
-
Foam Cannon Soap (High-Pressure) – Used with a pressure washer + foam cannon. Produces thick, shaving-cream-like foam.
-
Foam Gun Soap (Garden Hose) – Less dense foam, but still helps.
-
Two-Bucket Wash with Foam – Foam first, then hand wash with microfiber mitts.
✅ Benefits
-
Lubricates surface → reduces swirl marks & scratches.
-
Pre-soak effect → loosens grime before touching the paint.
-
Safe for wax, sealants, and coatings (if pH neutral).
-
Makes washing faster and more fun.
🔑 Tips for Best Results
-
Always rinse first to knock off heavy dirt.
-
Foam the whole car and let it dwell 3–5 mins (don’t let it dry).
-
Agitate with a microfiber mitt if needed.
-
Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean microfiber towel or blower.
