Decided to use warm water with my Chemical Guys soap in my foam cannon and believe I experienced a more foamy experience. Anyone else try warm water?

I haven't, and I can't speak for foam amounts, but certainly enhanced cleaning with warm water I would think?

Did you hook up to a hot water tank?

It'll keep your hands smooth and wrinkle free, like Madge used to say

Nope, just mixed warm water with the soap in foam cannon tank. Maybe in my head, but foam seemed better.

See, now you've got me thinking about running a dedicated line off of the water heater into the garage, and then to the pressure washer and the foam cannon...

:unsure:

Too hot...unless you're going to add a cold water mixing valve also......one of those ones like for the wash machine that has one lever but provides both waters.

Yup always use warm water!! I also have a DI system as well so never get any water spots. I change out the resin usually once a year.

Similar setup for me as well...though I dolly my DI system outside. Warm water in foam cannon with DI is way to go.

Blocking that fire hydrant won't go over well with the fire marshal.

I use a portable water system that drops the TDS to 0. During nice part of the year it, pressure washer, and all the accoutrements live in a little shelter by the port cochere / wash bay. Even have a car wash quality wand holder mounted to it too. Need to wash this dirty porker so I can get good photos for the sale.

yes... but the black truck is blocking the hydrant. Some places take that seriously.

My favorite is number two, where it was the mayor that parked there

and just while we're on the topic, insurance won't cover any damages caused by the FD bashing out the windows etc...
Well that’s my truck and I’m literally 10 feet away from it. I’m pretty sure if my townhome goes up in flames I’ll get the truck moved just in time for the big red trucks to show up. But thanks for the concern.
