We did a quick trip to CA this week…

Drove over on Sunday, went to Disney California Adventure on Monday and to the beach yesterday. Drove home today…

Tell me about these foam guns. Do they make cleaning easier/faster?

I have been slowly addressing little parts of my truck (painted plastic that gets super grimy, unpainted plastic that fades, clear bra that doesn't clean up with regular car wash, etc.) while trying to find time for a full wash-clay-polish-wax cycle, but when I add up the hours it would take, I always push until the next weekend.

blee, they do not speed up the wash process. It is basically a step to add extra lubricity to avoid swirls & marring. It also puts soap in areas that are not typically reached with a wash mitt.

estoril II vs estoril. Newer version is a bit darker. New 3 doesn't look that big in this pic.
