I luuuurve cleaning cars but it doesn’t take long anymore, most of the time it takes longer to set up the pressure washer and hosepipe.

Awesome, “hosepipe” — That’s a term you rarely hear in the US except for older Southerners — many of who retained a lot their vernacular from the Scottish and Irish settlers from 200+ years ago. I didn’t know it was still in use anywhere (in lieu of simply “hose”)

I just invested in a foam cannon, so this weekend will be my first wash without a soapy bucket. Excited.

I get that, it took me 1 hour to soap, & wax. I’ve never been a fan of cleaning cars.

Ye’, some in certain contexts will say ‘hose’, but if you want to be specific, you’ll say, ‘get the hosepipe and water the plant’s’ or ‘I just bought a new hose reel for the hosepipe’.

‘First wash without a soapy bucket’?

The snow foam is just a pre-wash, not in place of a two bucket wash.

You can snow foam, rinse, then shampoo foam onto the car and then use a rinse bucket with a grit guard to wash down the panels from top round and down if it’s only got a small amount of dirt such as traffic film.

General rule of thumb is one inch of shampoo or snow foam in a one litre bottle then fill just over half full with water.

Use the tap at the top to adjust thickness, clockwise for thicker, anti-clockwise for thinner. The nozzle on the front rotates for a thin jet, to a wide fan. Just have a play until you find what works for you.
