In reference to THIS THREAD, I went ahead and bought myself the Dial'N'Spray from Canadian Tire as a temporary replacement for my foam cannon while my pressure washer is out for repair. As you can see,it does a pretty decent job considering it's $15 price tag.

The owner recently had the car in at the dealership and they shot a lot of grease behind the mirrors to lubricate the motors and sliders. What they forgot about is that the grease would leak and cause staining and streaks. I used a steamer to get in there and melt the grease and rinse it out as much as possible. I kept going until it was leaking clear water.

Then I moved on to claying the car. It was in pretty decent shape and not much was picked up.

Then I waxed the car and sealed the wheels while the wax cured.

As always, thanks for looking and happy detailing!

The hoses snapped and it's the second unit by this company that fails on me, so I'm having it returned to the manufacturer for a refund and I will change to another model that's more resistant to my abuse.
