yeah... now i just need to research salt based softener vs the non salt version... Non salt is better for the environment and doesn't need salt constantly replaced, but is the best for not leaving spots.
I’ve been satisfied with the results of this, appears to aid beading and such. I aimed for applying at every other wash or so. Best to have a power washer for spraying it off.
Nope. Like a 1-4 gallon pump sprayer you would normally use for chemicals. Like this:
In my experience, the non-salt ones don’t actually work. Idea sounds good but seems like a scam. They still left hard water spots on my faucets and shower. I ended up ripping mine out and put in a salt-based softener. But I use potassium pellets rather than sodium.
MMMMMmmmmm, FOAM!!!!!Here's how I wash my Model 3, with all products linked in the description. Obviously you can wash any car this same way, so your future Rivian (and mine) will work.
"it looks like they have a hose attachment that sprays foam on the car to make it a lot more "touchless". It looks kind of like a nozzle with a bottle hanging on it."
It's called a foam cannon. You need a pressure washer for the foam cannon to work properly. The video will help everything make sense.
Could you also use this sprayer to apply the foam soap?
I suppose? Not a great sprayer with much power. Better to get a foam cannon.
I would be very curious to hear any responses from those that have the XPEL wrap. How does one wash their car when it has PPF applied? Same rules as those for ceramic coat?
