Gilmour is a "Foam" Gun i already have that one and its nice and ok, but i went deeper into this, and got me the "Foam" Cannon which attaches to a pressure washer instead of a regular hose, and blasts you'r car in delicious scented foam. I was hungry almost wanted to eat my car because it smelled like yummy melon fruit.

Thats why im fine with just a foam gun, cause I plan to use the two bucket wash as well. Just wanted something to pre soap the car.

That 2 Oz bottle was not enough i just used it to throw it away, it smelled ehh ok, i have my own products i buy from another site, and the tank is 1 Ltr for the foam cannon, i mixed that 2 OZ bottle with some of my stuff and then the rest, what looked like the right amount did the trick and gave me luscious amounts of foam. Also i did do the 2 bucket system, but i did not need it, my car was just dirty from pollin and some rain dirt, looked clean without the bucket, but i did it anyway, everything came off so good, no pressure added to the sponge what so ever, and then i just rinsed with the pressure washer, at a wide spray maybe 6 - 8 inches away from the car, and it removes anything that stays after you use sponger, i saw little flakes of crap from near the tires flaking off and from the tires them selves. It is really the best investment on keeping a car clean i made, in my opinion i should of have never bought the foam gun, i mean its nice and all, but this is so much more worth it, 70$ 1400 Psi Washer which we had already for years, + a 99.99$ No tax/shipping foam cannon with free 2 OZ foam thing. Best Deal Ever.

So if you use the foam cannon and your car is not very dirty you don't need to sponge her down?

Did not say that, The Foam, nearly lubricates and loosens most / all of the dirt on the car, and the sponge and 2 bucket system is what gets it all of and the foam also most of the time prevents your sponge from leaving little swirl marks in your car because its lubricated. *MY Car when i got the foam cannon was not really dirty, it only had pollin and was greenish slightly from it and just rain dirty that dried and dust. So i ran it with the foam cannon, after i did , to me it looked clean, but i still went ahead and did the bucket system. So it's most likely how you want to wash your car and if your lazy or not in my opinion.

Not at all. A foam gun or cannon DOES NOT replace your 2 buckets, grit guards, etc... its simply a way to deliver a ton of thick suds to the car faster and easier than you can by hand alone. You still need to go thru the same process of washing in order to clean properly and prevent swirls.
