so foam would dry too fast while washing in the summer sun. :icon17:

and for those that think :eek: washing in the sun.. lol i do it all the time without getting water spots. :icon17: haha there's some trick to it though.
Our second garage also has a drain built in and slightly sloped floors. :tup: best thing ever. Usually just hand wash in the garage but sometimes I am in a hurry and just spray it down with pressure washer/foam and rinse and go.

I bought a foam gun in the first year of owning the Z. I liked it a lot, but it's not a high quality one. I used special foaming wash and had to use a lot to get a nice, thick layer of foam. I was happy with its performance overall, but I only used it a few times for exactly the reason you mention - sun drys it out. I just gave away the last of the soap to my neighbor, and the foam gun is sitting in the same box it has been for the last three years :ugh:

I generally wash my car in the sun and have zero issues with water spots :tup:

Min e is a cheaper foamer too. If set on max mix soap goes QUICK! lol I should just hook it up to a gallon jug so I dont have to refill all the time. :icon17:
