Thought I would make a thread on my car washing stuff. Foam cannons are not necessary, but they sure are fun.
Forgot to get a pic when foaming/washing the MME, but here is the last time I washed my previous Mustang. (Yes, I got that license plate in anticipation of getting the Mach-E, but it worked on the 5.0 too)

Here is my car washing cart:
List of stuff:
Stool: https://www.vyperindustrial.com/col...steel-max-quick-height?variant=42421676605695
This thing is awesome, built like a tank and rolls well on my bumpy asphalt drive.
Rubbermaid cart: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JFB2DD2?tag=ciq00280-20
Hose Reel: https://www.amazon.com/General-Pump-D30002-Mounting-Bracket/dp/B00INY1V4Y
The General Pump D30002 has 3/8" Female NPT connections. Tools Daily whip with an M22 female on one end and 3/8 NPT male on the other: https://amzn.to/3H0NJ6Q This whip hose goes from the reel to the pressure washer without using any adapters.
To connect the Obsessed Garage 50' hose with 3/8" Quick Disconnect ends to the hose reel you need an adapter like this: https://amzn.to/3sQqXcX
Obsessed garage 50’ hose: comes with M22 Female (14mm) to 3/8” Quick Disconnect Plug that works with the Karcher 1700: https://www.obsessedgarage.com/coll...its/products/og-hose-upgrade-kit#what-you-get
Spray Gun: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PV4VKXK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Karcher K1700 Cube Pressure Washer: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XRDLVN5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Foam Cannon:https://amzn.to/3Lpc6i9 Swap the stock orifice on this cannon with a 1.1mm for better foam:
Foam Cannon Orifice: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B088JV5GF5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Snow Foam soap: Adam’s Mega Foam https://adamspolishes.com/products/adams-mega-foam-shampoo-with-free-16oz This stuff makes thiccc foam and smells soooo good. Smells like Juicy Fruit gum to me.
Using 2.5mm 40 degree nozzle will give about 1000 psi
Using 3.0mm 40 degree nozzle will give about 850 psi (best for car washing)
Microfiber towels: Costco Kirklands 36 pack: https://www.costco.com/kirkland-signature-ultra-plush-microfiber-towel,-yellow,-16-in-x-16-in,-36-count.product.100356999.html
Washing Microfiber Towels - Hot water (not sanitize), extra rinse, air only dry (no heat). Add vinegar to the fabric softener dispenser. Use Tide Free & Gentle or All Free & Clear.
I use used dryer sheets for bug removal, just hit with detail spray or waterless wash first then gently scrub off.
Waterless Wash: https://adamspolishes.com/products/ceramic-waterless-refill-kit I use this for when the car is only slightly dirty/dusty. Works well, leaves protection and smells fantabulous.
Ceramic Spray: After a full wash and dry, I put on Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray Coating. Easy on, easy off, can be used on any exterior surface and smells good too. I even use it as rain-x on my windshields. Hybrid Solutions Ceramic: https://amzn.to/3V3h1tO
Tire Shine: Coverall from O'Reilly. Spray it on, easy peasy. Smells good. Not shiny but not fully matte either. https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...4-ounce-tire-shine/scp0/f96?q=cover+all&pos=0
