I have seen nozzle/wands for pressure washer with soap dispensers attached for washing cars. I'm looking for something that can be used with one of the higher pressure nozzles. The lowest pressure just isn't good enough. If anyone has one, can you give me a brand/model? Thanks.

Applying the detergent on with more pressure is not the solution. Let the soap work then rinse with a higher pressure when needed.

I think what you are asking for is a foamer?

Do these really work as well as advertised? Can I take my dirty truck, foam it up, let it soak a few minutes and then blast rinse it off?

Washing my truck is pretty low on my priority list, so it gets a bath maybe once every two summer months and will go all winter without so I'm not looking for show truck clean. BUT this sounds more my speed and something I could see doing once to twice a month(during the warmer days).

Thanks

I got a cannon, havnt used it, should take a look but normally pressure wash hot when I want it clean and have a bucket with a brush and some soapy water. I pressure wash dirt off, brush and rinse. I wash a car about every day, sometimes more.

No.. you'll still be washing the car.. I just bought one of the cheaper foam cannons, (don't waste $80 on these things) to use with a small electric pressure washer I bought. the bigger washers will just produce thicker foam, that will take a little longer to run off the car. There is no magic in this.. it looks cool, yes.. but if you want a clean car, you're gonna be washing it like a normal person.

This was the best reviewed cheaper no-name one on Amazon. Actually was better than I expected.. it's $20, and the same as the expensive ones as far as I'm concerned.

If you wanna save time washing the car - the best two things I've bought are a micro fiber wash mitt that's on an extending handle. Will cut your time and effort in half.. second - a 1 gallon garden sprayer, and a gallon a concentrate wheel cleaner from Meguiars that you can dilute. It's a lot faster spraying the wheels, and you use a lot less of it cause of the fine mist with the pressurized sprayer. You can get one in Home Depot for $10.

Look through the Ryobi electric pressure washer thread in the hot deals forum. We were talking about these things. Starts at the bottom of page 1 I think

I use the lance to put the foam on the car and then use a water bucket and a grit guard to clean the mitt after every panel. Alternate to a two bucket wash.
