Foam cannon is meant to be a prewash more than anything. Still need to follow it up with a regular wash. It more or less just knocks off the loose stuff so you're not just swirling it all around the paint with your wash mitt. If you adjust the **** on top of the foam cannon, that will adjust the soap to water ratio. More soap should give you a thicker foam that clings a little better.

Soap is just a wash and wax, not gonna do much in a foam cannon.

That's the cannon i bought, it's my second try at one in the States, trying to keep the price down (my 4x the price one broke during shipping from the UK) but whilst the foaming action on this cannon is good for the price, it's not great and something like 50 or 60 bucks will be far better.

Again though, the snow foam you use is important, it's not (supposed to be) the same as car shampoo, otherwise you just get foamed up car shampoo on your paint, which is marginally more helpful that hand applying with a wash mitt.

I guess I'll give it another shot next time I she gets a bath, probably with the soap [F2C]MaDMaXX just recommended

You're talking about adjust the spray pattern Vs. the mixture, depending on the cannon, can make a difference with aeration, yes.

Yeah, the spray nozzle on the BH wheel cleaner and the viscosity of the product make it easy to target and avoid your brake discs, so there's that

Thursday evening last week I pulled the truck into the garage for LTH header and intake manifold install. Overall, not nearly as bad as when I did my '12. Manifold install kinda sucked though since these 15+ are MAP based. I had tried the Edelbrock Victor manifold on the '12 after getting a good deal on it and being unable to get it sold, modded it for the new-to-me '15. So far the catted longtubes mated to the stock exhaust was only negligibly quieter than when I had catless longtubes and stock catback on the 12. Last night I received and installed the OBX catback. The muffler I was half expecting to be some cheap tinny chambered muffler but surprised that it seems to be of Magnaflow level quality. SI/DO and basically the inside looks like a cross between one of the Flowmaster Scavenger y pipes and a magnaflow muffler. Tons of packing. Paired with the longtubes and stock resonator it has a little bit of rumble but not much more than stock catback. I almost regret getting cats in the LTH y pipe lol. Later on I'll replace the stock resonator with an SPD 3" resonator but for now I'm pretty happy. Next up I have a spare factory throttlebody I'm going to send off to maxbore to turn into 84-85mm. Lastly, today I ordered a 12qt case of oil.

I need to take a day and go through and do a full wash day like yall are talking about. Haven't had the truck long at all and it still has a bit of whatever cheap wax the dealership detailed it with as well as their tire shine which is now brown. Ideally I want to do a full strip wash and ceramic coat but for now I'll settle for a strip and the TurtleWax Hybrid stuff. I'll do the ceramic after I get back in a few months.

^ ^ ^ I ran the 5100s for the last three years on all four corners along with the Roadmaster Active Suspension rig on the rear leafspring packs.

Now I'm on the 6112s up front with a 1.5" lift/level and the 5160 (very similar to the 5100 but with an external reservior) on the rear axle along with the Roadmaster, and I gotta tell ya, this set up SHINES on rough pavement under acceleration. Rear tires stay planted. Works better the deeper you tip into the throrrle. Awesome setup.

I have the mixture *** basically all the way closed, and the fan nozzle barely open. Foam is as thick as I've ever seen this way. I tried multiple different combinations and this way gives me the best / thickest foam...

That's a Magma Red truck under all that white foam!
