I use a 2200 psi Greenworks electric pressure washer from Lowes.  It works well with my foam cannon and has adequate power to clean away brake dust from the wheels and grime from the paint.  The bigger spec to look for in a pressure washer is the flow rate rather than the psi.  The highest psi rating of any pressure washer is achieved with the narrow angle tip.  You'll want to use a wide angle tip to fan out the spray to avoid damaging your paint.  Typically a 15 degree or 25 degree tip is what you'll use most often on a vehicle. The flow rate  of a pressure washer will determine how well it will perform when connected to a foam cannon; i.e. how much foam it will produce.  Adam's recommends a minimum flow rate of 1.3 GPM and a minimum of 870 psi to operate their foam cannon.

Hint:  If the acronym is underlined by the forum, you can hover over it and the full product name will appear.

Agreed.  Ceramic Boost is an awesome product.  I tried it recently on my Hellcat wheels and it made an incredible difference in the amount of brake dust that stuck to them.  With the most recent wash, I was able to blast away most of the brake dust with just the hose and the remaining amount came off easily with regular Car Shampoo and a little agitation.  The drying process was also improved after the Ceramic Boost application.  I'm not sure how long it will last on the wheels, but even if I only get another week or so, the juice was well worth the squeeze.  
 
I'm heading out to the Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle on Friday AM, so I'll see how the CB holds up after 175 miles at highway speeds.........or slightly above highway speeds..........ok..... at well above highway speeds. 

So I picked up two of the new detailing lights for my Swirl Killers and used them for the first time today.  Made a huge difference in what I actually saw and what I thought I was seeing. NOW I can see everything. Every swirl, every dirt spot, anything I missed, etc.  Great products. I found for me, they work best up a little higher than they suggest, but that could be because of the size of my hands.   The one on the Mini really helped when I was doing the wheels. I could see into every corner so I didn't miss a spot.  Only bad thing was, I found my Cadillac's first and ONLY ding in the side.  I know where it happened, I just didn't know it happened until today.  Yeah, the car is 6 years old, so only having it's first ding is a pretty good run.  The daily driver looks pretty darn good.
I really recommend these lights. 
 

Welcome Elias.

Thanks for the welcome all. Pics of the "work truck" and the lucky ride that gets treated with Adams. Some may say its an obsession, but I like to consider it perfection, not obsession. 

The Iron Remover was developed to be used as a specific paint decon product.  The Wheel Cleaner can be diluted and will work, however, it is not as fluid as the Iron Remover.  Wheel Cleaner is a gel formulation while the Iron Remover is not.  Prior to release of the Iron Remover, diluted Wheel Cleaner was the recommended step for paint decon, so you should be fine as long as you don't let it dwell for too long and are careful to use it on cool surfaces out of direct sun. 

I also had a good weekend. Took my car Sunday.   Very happy won all american sunday chevy pick.  Got to go through parade and on stage.  I didn't hear it but my parents said they said how good my paint was!!!

Some day I will take the time to break out ALL the bottle types I have....which is ALOT lol I need a bigger stand, or to take photos of each chemical lol. I did do a Glass cleaner one and attached it as well showing its different labels, just in current chemical formula, I also believe I have one more with the font size change on the current gen label. 

H20 G&G everywhere but the wheels and tires, they got Paint Sealant and Tire Shine respectively ?

You can remove the residue with VRT.  It will turn the trim back to black again and remove any residue. 
 
Tip:  Apply VRT to the trim and other plastic parts before sealing or waxing.  It will prevent any wax / sealant from sticking to the plastic and help with clean-up afterwards.
