Now I'll ask some really dumb questions. Where do you get this Cam Foam Cannon? How does it attach to the pressure washer? I like the looks of the results, and my pressure washer is also located conveniently so I use it for every wash.

Now, for the guy who wanted to be able to wash his car without touching it, it can ALMOST be done, and I'm sure the Foam Cannon would help. To do this, the car has to be waxed really well. You can do the washing with a boar's hair brush on a pole, and dry it with a leaf blower. Not perfect, but not bad either.

I would imagine if you have a higher PSI pressure washer then you would get even thicker foam. There is a guy on Autopia, Superbee who has the same foamer and he uses a 3000 psi gas PW. Looking at a video he posted on Autopia his foam looks even thicker than what I get.

That's not a dumb question at all (at least the first one ). I never mentioned that I got the foamer from everypressurewasher.com. As you can see from the picture that I posted of the foamer that the end which goes onto the PW gun is threaded. So, it screws on.

If you're using a boar's hair brush then you're touching the car.

I did see that vid of the guy with the superbee, it seriously did look like he was spraying shaving cream onto his car!

Yeah my PW blows compared to his. But the foam I get is still pretty thick.

There was plenty of soap on the paint. So, I just went over the paint with my ShMitt. I first dipped the ShMitt in a bucket of water to wet it and returned it to the bucket as needed to remove any dirt on the surface of the ShMitt.

There is no such thing as a truly touchless wash that removes all the dirt. In order to remove 100% of the dirt on the paint it needs to be agitated in some fashion.
So to Clarify, you are no longer using a 2 bucket method. You are using just one to rinse out the schmitt. Is this correct?

That's correct. I used one bucket and it was a rinse bucket.

Honestly, I haven't been using the two bucket method in some time. The ShMitt releases dirt SO well that I just use a wash bucket. I don't even use a Grit Guard anymore. There are no hairs or knap on the ShMitt to grab and hold onto dirt. So there's no point in using one. If I do get some stubborn dirt on my ShMitt that won't release I just scrape it against the edge of the bucket or rub it out with my other hand.

Great! That sounds like it would speed things up quite a bit for me.

I really didn't see the point if the two bucket method was still needed.

Everytime MikeyC does a review my wallet cries a little more...
