Great job. Foam cannons and pressure washers are real game changers.

Some advice, tho... Gotta close up that angle on the spray....you're wasting a lot of foam by spraying it over the car and on the ground. Just twist the spray nozzle. And that seem like an awful lot car wash being mixed with the water.

Otherwise, cool vid. 🐼🐼🐼🐼

Looks like your "supervisor" was napping on the job!!!

Did you wipe it down with the soap on or just suds and rinse??

Cool beats. I also wanna know whether you sponged it while it was sudsy? Def need to tighten that spray range. It's a great product vid for Chem Guys so they should have you on contract

+1 on didn't you have to wash the car with a sponge mitt after you used the foam Canon? Or maybe this is the new way of washing cars with CG's soap? Cool video and thanks for sharing

Yeah we did use a microfiber cloth after the foam was on the car. I just didn't include it in the video (no one wants to see someone just scrub).
You can technically not scrub but it's better if you do.
