Really great comparison between the two methods. I have a pressure washer myself just a little more thorough cleaning. But there's nothing wrong with just the hose and foam gun. We do with what we have. Great video!
Everything should be dual purpose in my world. I have found that the Foam GUN is safe to use to clean the A/C Condenser unit in the yard. Water hose pressure will not damage the coils but the hose volume is great to help in the cleaning! Incredible Suds is great for that too!
@@diydetailofficial wait so is a pressure washer pre-rinse with a 25 or 40 degree nozzle to knock off the big stuff first, no longer recommended if that's an option? I'm legit checking because Yvan is the master after all and I trust his judgement. I get it doesn't necessarily apply to this situation because you'd likely be using a proper foam cannon instead of a garden hose foam blaster, but I just wanted to get some clarification if possible.
@@muchachogrande2019 sorry for the delayed response, this just came up in our notifications. Foaming or applying a Rinseless before pressure washing is the safest method. Even with a wide angle nozzle, the paint has no protection from the dirt.
First of all, I always enjoy your videos 🙂👌 With this one, I can't figure out why on Earth you washed the vehicle before doing the video as that detracts from the whole concept of making the video from my point of view. People don't normally pressure wash their vehicles and then wash them, at least I don't think so. Anyway, I'm curious, and I'm sure many others are, to exactly what the benefit is of having shaving cream leather rather than suds sit on the car prior to hand mitting. I'm confident that you are aware that most manufacturers of foam cannons try to impress upon people that they won't have to touch the vehicle in order to get it clean. That is simply not true. Not logically nor in theory nor in actuality. Is there a specific advantage to having "shaving cream" sit on the car over having foamy suds sit on the car. The TWO HUGE DISadvantages I see with the "shaving cream" is all the additional rinsing one will have to do AND the ginormous additional consumption of very expensive car shampoo. If one is doing it inside of their garage because it's an extremely cold climate that could be a HUGE P.I.T.A. as one is already trying to use as little water as possible so as not to create an ice rink outside the garage. The car wash car shampoo that I use is $25 for a 16 oz bottle. It's not exactly inexpensive. The Griot's Rinseless Wash n' Wax is about $15 for 16 oz and I water it down massively. These foam cannons that attach to pressure washers command that the user put ludicrous amounts of soap in. If you dumped soap directly onto the car I suppose it would have the same fundamental effect as well as the same rinsing issue. I have been pondering this foam cannon dilemma for a while now. Considering the fact that it is extraordinarily expensive to acquire a pressure washer EXCLUSIVELY for the purpose of being able to hook up a foam cannon, and NO other reason as a pressure washer should never be used on a metallic black car, which I obviously have, except with a foam cannon, I'm having trouble trying to figure out what the true advantage is here. I can't help but think, for a person with one car that just wants to make sure that it doesn't get scratched or harmed but lives in the horrific Midwest with the salt and car washes that are absolutely ridiculous and very harmful, that this is one of those impulse type of purchases that will end up gathering dust (that needs yet another type of cleaning tool to clean off when it's dug out in a few years) in the corner of the garage. Can you please elaborate on the benefits of being forced to own a power washer just so to utilize a foam cannon? Perhaps there are different types of pressure washers that are compatible that don't seem so overwhelming and expensive and GIGANTIC❓ I think that many people would benefit from knowing that answer. Do we really need a great big expensive, ginormous pressure washer because we think we want the foam and, if we only want the foam because we are being convinced that we do, seeing as that is going to be quite a task to wash it off using an enormous amount of water which will create an ice rink outside my garage door, how does this actually benefit the car tender? I am already aware that the phone can penetrate into little nooks and crannies. So does the mitt that you have to go over it with and the tire brushes that you still have to use. Again, foam cannon manufacturers busily tried to convince us that we don't have to touch the car at all to clean it and that is absolute nonsense. ❓ Can you please break down the REAL benefits vs. the negatives of the extreme cost, added rinse work, enormous cost of soap, ice rink outside the garage due to having to use an excessive amount of water to rinse such a great deal of soap off, etcetera❓ Thank you very much!
In this video we were just showing the difference between a foam gun( hose) and foam cannon ( pressure washer). There is absolutely no need to use or own either, it’s simply an option. You can wash very dirty cars without them. Thick vs thin runny foam is simply personal preference. With DIY Detail Incredible Suds you only need 1oz mixed with 31 ounces of water.
You will notice that we mentioned at the beginning we pre-washed off camera. This was the second video we ever made Take a look at this, you will see improvement ruclips.net/video/VkGJOrLotII/видео.htmlsi=JoHxC6Q-6ccrSwsM
I know I already commented this is for everyone to see. I recommend checking Detailers Business Academy with Yvan Lacroix he did a Q&A yesterday was fantastic. Nick has Hawk Pro Detailing really great help for tips and tricks!

Nice!
Great video guys! Love the QR code idea.
Thanks Luke!
I feel if u pressure wash first than you’re smashing dirt onto the car with high pressure.
Correct, for the ultimate in paint safety using DIY Detail Rinseless Wash as a pre spray before using a pressure washer.

Foaming or applying a Rinseless before pressure washing is the safest method. Even with a wide angle nozzle, the paint has no protection from the dirt.
@@diydetailofficialso you prewash with ONR then pre spray with water then pre-foam before washing with a mitt?!

In a foam gun with a 60 oz resevoir, how many caps full of incrdible suds should go in?
3-4
Never thought I would see Yvan doing a two bucket wash, lol.
For fun yes, for business it’s all DIY Detail Rinseless Wash.
Has anyone ever tried to use adapters to connect a pressure washer specific foam cannon?
Not enough pressure to work
Uses snow foam then goes straight on it with the mitt and rubs that dirt back into the paint. 😭
You will notice that we mentioned at the beginning we pre-washed off camera.
This was the second video we ever made
Take a look at this, you will see improvement

I would soft water the whole car to cool it down, then I presoak
Not a bad idea!
Garden hose sucks....not even close
True
I know I already commented this is for everyone to see. I recommend checking Detailers Business Academy with Yvan Lacroix he did a Q&A yesterday was fantastic. Nick has Hawk Pro Detailing really great help for tips and tricks!
Thank you!
Absolutely not, the foam sucks.
Not everyone has a pressure washer
@diydetailofficial I agree but there is a pump pressure sprayer. Look them up.
2nd
Your close!
@@diydetailofficial 😄😄yes, was walking to Subway when the video popped up 😄😄
