Amazon product I bought this November of 2017 and haven't tried it yet. Would a 1600psi pressure washer be enough to create a decent foam? I've been looking for one closer to 2000 though


yes, it is enough, when washing a vehicle, 1000psi is what you are looking for. Foam is a result of the GPM. Most 1600 psi PW will be around 1.2 gpm
get a 1.1mm orifice for the foam cannon and you will be fine.
This is my current set up and it works


any recommendations for "leather" cleaner? like whatever the F my truck interior would be?

my driver seat has a spot on it, was there when i bought it, i just didn't notice it/think much of it at first. but it bugs me and i want it gone.

my "normal" stuff won't get rid of it.

Detailing the Hellcat over the next couple days. Decon, light polish, and seal. Last year I used the Griot’s Garage Paint Cleaning Clay and it was an awful experience. I’m not sure if the clay was bad or what, but it was literally melting all over my fingers. I picked up the Griot’s Garage Brilliant Finish Synthetic Clay scrubber. Man so easy to use during the wash process and saves a boat load of time. Now onto polishing!

Washed all 3 Fords yesturday. Not supposed to rain.

:fu: Yep its fucking raining out today.

Car got a wash and coated with some mothers CMX ceramix spray wax. Hope next wash takes a little less time.

Also this snapon electric pressure washer I got with the built in soap bottle kicks ass.

Foam down the car.
Quick once over with a microfiber sponge to loosen up the dirt.
Twist sprayer wand to rinse.
Spray car down with CMX 1 panel at a time dry and done.

:)

Only downside is daaaaaaaamn that snapon pressure washer goes through the foam soap FAST!

Didn't you just polish this thing ?
maybe the mitt on the concrete is a bad idea :unsure:

Dude get off it already, you are starting to sound like a hater. The car has been driven hard the past few thousand miles since my last detail. And there are some areas that needed attention from me working on the car.
