If you guys use a foam cannon/gun, do you STILL have to touch it?

yes. you foam the car, hose off, then either 1) foam again and use a washmitt, then hose off, or 2) do a regular wash.

however, foaming and hosing off without using a mitt can be sufficient for when your car isn't really dirty, only dusty and such.
