After reading through the threads on foam cannon I ordered one from Chemical Guys and Honey Dew wash stuff. I'm wondering if on light cleaning (say mostly dusty) use pressure washer to spray off biggest stuff, then foam cannon and sit say a few minuets then press/wash off then blow dry with leaf blower w/o touching anything other than cleaning bugs off front. Do you think that would be a good idea?

I've recently begun using a cannon. I bought a cheap one on Amazon, it was about 20 bucks and works well with regular car soap(Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax). I only use it for in-between washes, like weeknights after work, and then do hand washes on weekends.

It's decent, and makes the car look better, but doesn't get it as clean as a touch wash. If it hasn't rained, or I haven't driven through something that would splatter dirt on the car, it's pretty good. If it has rained, there is a film of dirt/dust that clings to the car and the pressure washer/foam cannon won't get it clean.

Having said that, I haven't yet polished/waxed this car(only owned it for 3 months now). I expect that once I do, the cannon will do a better job.

Chemical Guys foam cannon is a waste of money. its so overpriced. Their soap is good, honey dew is perfect for FC. But keep in mind if you have ceramic coating, these soap leave a layer of gloss enhancer which is not good for ceramic coating.
Light dust: Pressure wash > Foam Cannon > Rinse > Blow dry. Yes that would be a good idea

I have the Chemical Guys foam cannon and other products. I used the foam cannon in the shade on a cool touch car surface. I then used the micro fiber mit with two bucket method. Then blow dry. Wheels done separately. Full clay bar also then the butter wax. This worked extremely well for me. My car is black btw.

Some ppl aren’t fans of Chemical Guys products. I found using them all together gives a great result.

I see now I posted this in the wrong section, thanks for the replies anyway. I do have my car polished. Also I don't have ceramic coating.
