[Cheap Guy]

I’m old school but wanted to try two new techniques today, the foam gun for washing and the leaf blower for drying. I got the foam gun from Walmart for $20 and the leaf blower is a Craftsman Electric Leaf Blower 160 mph 180 CFM, for $40.

The foam gun wasn’t too bad but I prefer the old two bucket method better. I usually make a decent amount of suds the old way and it seems like I used a lot more car wash using the foam gun. I also like the constant rinsing of the wash cloth in clean water using the rinse bucket. I’ll try it one more time before I render final judgement. As far as time, I think it may be quicker using the bucket method.

The leaf blower is going back. It just didn’t seem to get the car dried off the way I prefer. Also, if you missed a spot during the wash, you usually clean it up during the microfiber dry. It also took longer when you factor in dragging the cord out.
