Frequently asked questions

Fill the reservoir with clean water and car shampoo at the recommended dilution, attach the cannon to your pressure-washer lance, and spray the vehicle from the bottom up in an even layer. Let the foam dwell for a few minutes without letting it dry, then rinse thoroughly before starting the contact wash.

Prioritise a large, high-pile microfiber towel with a soft edgeless border. It should hold enough water to dry a full panel in one pass so you barely need any pressure. Avoid stitched hems and avoid washing drying towels with fabric softener, which destroys absorbency.

Wash microfiber separately from cotton and from wash media, using a dedicated microfiber detergent and warm water. Never use fabric softener, bleach or high heat. Air drying or a low-heat tumble keeps the split fibres open and absorbent.

Rinse every tool with clean water after use, squeeze or shake out excess moisture, and let it dry completely in a ventilated space before storing. Keep wheel tools separate from paint tools, and hang brushes bristles-down so water does not collect in the ferrule.

A foam cannon connects to a pressure washer and produces a thick, clinging blanket of foam for a whole-vehicle pre-wash. A handheld pump sprayer needs no hose or power and is designed for targeted application — wheels, bug residue, trim or a quick-detailer mist.

One bucket holds shampoo solution and the other clean rinse water. After each panel you rinse the mitt in the clean bucket before reloading it with shampoo, so grit ends up in the rinse water instead of going back onto the paint.

A plush chenille mitt holds more lubrication and is the safer choice for painted panels. A dual-layer wash sponge is useful for stubborn bug residue, lower panels or wheel work, ideally as a dedicated tool that never touches the upper body.
