Premium Foam Cannon orifice size
RayS replied to rrmccabe's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
While I don’t track my usage of the Foam Gun vs Foam Cannon, I have little doubt that I use the Foam Gun 10 or more times for each time I use the Foam Cannon. For large vehicles, very dirty vehicles or when doing multiple in a day, then I tend to go for the Pressure washer and Foam Cannon, otherwise the hose and Foam Gun is plenty. I rarely do Rinseless washes and when I do, I go through a lot of wash pads and microfibers. Then again when I do a waterless wash, even on the wife’s garage queen, I go through multiple waterless towels and microfibers. I don’t hesitate to change wash pads or towels when doing anything with the vehicles. I have washed Graphene coated vehicles with regular shampoo, ultra and mega foam. They all work well on Graphene vehicles if you follow up with Graphene CS3 or Graphene Detail Spray as a drying agent. When using Graphene Shampoo, unless in the direct sun, there is generally no need for a drying agent if you blow dry. -

I've done multiple campers and motorhomes of all ages, sizes and conditions, the most recent was triple slide out that was 36' long and had sat in the Florida sun for a few years. Getting them clean is the first challenge and most of time you'll need some black streak remover which you can pick up an any camping sales and service department. My preference is one soft brissle truck brush for cleaning the surface and of course the foam cannon works wonders to get the suds on it. After it has been washed and is looking good, go over it with Guard and Gloss if it is White, otherwise wash it again using Wash & Wash. Here's a link to the last one that I've done. @chops1sc Do you have anything to add for doing campers?

If there is real high humidity and I use the foam cannon on the truck with Graphene Shampoo it tends to run off the sides quickly. The plus side is that you can see the road grime come off at the same time, so it makes it easy to get the truck washed. -

Hi Rich, The one thing to keep in mind is that the volume of foam is affected by which shampoo you are using, Mega Foam (most) vs Ultra Shampoo (good) vs Graphene Shampoo (least) all give different volumes of Foam. Also you water hardness or PH level can affect the volume of foam. I'm not sure which size oriface I am using and it is in my external garage so I'm not going a looking tonight. I due use the electrict pressure washer and actually prefer it over the gas, which I found to be too powerful at times. I have not had any moulding, badges or even registration decals damaged by the electric, but did with the gas one. -

Sure did and it works very well on campers, motorhomes and vinyl fences. -

Wash & Wax 1st Experience
RayS replied to Marshall's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
Hi Marshall, The Wash & Wax works great on the garage door if it is fiberglass or aluminum. It makes it easy to go over and really reduces the amount of dust and dirt that clings to it. I try to do mine about 3 times a year, end of winter, after pollen season and late fall. -

My wife and I made a quick trip to Wisconsin and it gave my brother-in-law an opportunity to show me his new Wash Bay. Let's just say that it far exceeded anything I was expecting to see and it was not the most impressive thing that I saw that day. The wash bay has a heated floor, the entire building is insulated, great lighting and the two black items in the ceilling are just 2 of the 4 in the building that are powered vents. On the back wall, are the two pressure washers, one is connected to the soap dispenser and the other is clean water. The entire system uses softened water and I am pretty sure that every piece of equipment he has will fit in there, height, width and length wise, just not all at the same time. What I don't understand is why Mary just looked at me told me No. I didn't even ask her a question...

Spotless Water Deionizer Purchase??
RayS replied to Marshall's question in Washing, Drying, and Decontamination
There are plenty of 20-30 gallon portable water tanks that you wheel around with you. They are used often for camping and are relatively inexpensive. The good thing with the 20-30 galllon portable tanks is that they generally have the volume needed for the job while also remaining reasonable in their weight for being on wheels. While I hadn't thought about the need for having deionized water for going around the house for the windows. Why not run the water through the Deionizer and put it into the portable tank to wheel around your house. That way you can leave the Deionizer stationary insteady of trying to move it around the house? It would probably be easier to do and would reduce the risk of damaging an expensive piece equipment by constantly moving it.
