Touchless Foam Cannon Kit

Touchless/Brushless truck wash soaps, whether it's our product or a competitor’s, do not get your surface 100% clean. We tested several top competitor's 2-step touchless truck wash soaps alongside ours and determined both leave about 10% road film that you can only see up close when you run your finger through it. This is expected behavior for 2-step in general. This is because these types of touchless truck wash soap products are meant to be used for maintenance washes between your normal brush/mitt wash. They are not meant to completely replace washing with a brush/mitt. You can minimize the amount of road film left behind by making sure your surface is protected with some type of wax protection like our Wax Replacement.

Before you begin, there are a few factors to take into consideration. For instance, if this is your first touchless wash ever and it's been more than 7 days since your last wash, you will want to brush/mitt wash. After that first good brush/mitt wash, we strongly recommend using our foam-on Wax Replacement coating. These critical steps will help you achieve the best results with touchless washes going forward. 
1. (Optional Step) For extra cleaning power, pre-soak your surface with Bug Remover or Degreaser to help cut through extra road film.
2. Dilute in foam cannon - 1 part soap to 1 parts water (50% chemical | 50% water)
3. Apply touchless truck wash soaps from bottom up and allow each soap to dwell for at least 1 minute before the next step.
4. Foam Touchless 1 onto your surface
5. Foam Touchless 2 overtop of Touchless 1
6. High pressure rinse the entire surface, and make sure to keep the wand 6-12" away while maintaining a 90 degree contact angle with your surface
7. Rinse thoroughly making sure to overlap rinse patterns. It helps to go both left and right and up and down with your rinses for maximum coverage.

TIPS: Use a 40 degree (white colored) tip for rinsing. Use with water no hotter than 130 degrees so it does not break down chemical composition. Try to keep surfaces out of direct sunlight and cool before applying product. If sunlight is unavoidable work in small sections to ensure chemicals do not dry on surface. Adjust dilution knob on foam cannon to produce wet foam when working in dry/sunny conditions so appropriate dwell time can be reached before rinsing chemicals from the surface.

Detailed Wash - We use our full prep/wash/protect process once per week. Start with bug remover to pre-soak bug remains and heavy road grime. Then we foam on some Platinum Wash soap and scrub the surface clean. After scrubbing, rinse thoroughly. Once the surface is 100% cleaned, we apply a coating of Invisishield (our foam on wax replacement) & rinse off.

2-Step - Between detailed washes, we use Touchless 1 & 2 to neutralize road salt/grime and help keep the surface clean and free of extra build up.

While this touchless truck wash soap approach is straightforward and will garner you preferable results, there are additional considerations to keep in mind when washing or rinsing your ride.
* Use a 40-65 degree tip for rinsing
* Use with water no hotter than 130 degrees (anything hotter will break down the touchless truck wash chemicals and make them less effective)
* A pressure washer is required
* Minimum recommended specs 2200 PSI & 3.5 GPM
* **IMPORTANT: If using a spigot to dispense Touchless 1, make sure it's plastic. Low pH solutions will slowly eat through soft metals over extended periods of time. This also includes metal components of foam cannon heads. To prolong the life of your foam cannons, we recommend running a small amount of Touchless 2 or other high pH solution through it to neutralize Touchless 1.
