I just washed mine in the middle of the day yesterday in mid 70s and was fine. I don't like to do this as I like to do it early in the morn but had some free time at work. What helps is also to get a good soap the is ph balanced so if the suds do dry they will not etch. My good friends Adams sells great soap. Here is mine yesterday mid soak after the foam cannon.

I have a hose mounted one. It's ok. I don't mind just hand washing it tho. I should probably get a small pressure cleaner just for car washing tho. We wash the D every weekend. [emoji136]

I personally have gotten to the point that I pull out the electric pressure washer every time I wash the vehicle anyways, so the foam cannon doesn't really add much more "work" to it IMO. I had the foam gun and after using it for about a month, I never used it again. Just wasn't worth the effort to use it honestly.

that pressure washer that Yeti posted is an awesome deal and one of the better pressure washers for automotive uses on the detailing forums I am on.

Anyone looking for a low psi pressure washer for their ride: Check out this deal:

AR Blue Clean 1900 PSI Electric Pressure Washer w/ Hose Reel - http://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/fp/150891

I did a lot of research on electric pressure washers after searching and making a purchase I would highly recommend the Clean Force 1400

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Cleanfor...m-Electric-Pressure-Washer-CF1800HD/203246923

It has a lot of bad reviews but that's because people didn't take care of it or prep it for winter in a garage that gets cold. IMO that's their own fault. No issues running 3 years strong now, plus the wand is the same style of a gas one which is really important because with most of those electric ones with plastic wands you have to engineer some sort of adapter for a good foam cannon to connect or a new wand all together. Just my .02

For example...

Where as my MTM foam cannon snapped right in out of the box.

For the price I just bought that AR blue clean. It's originally $200 on sale for $119 shipped 2-day air with Amazon prime. Couldn't walk from it and it came with a soap container for use as a foam cannon. I'll see how it works and if it doesn't work as anticipated I'll buy a different foam cannon.

This will come in handy when it comes time to clean the boat (when that happens).
