I have been washing my car by hand a lot lately and I am getting tired of it to be perfectly honest. I want to cut the time by more than half and use a good pressure washer. And I don't want to go to a carwash.
We have to park our cars in a new spot at work. It used to be a nice cement area, but now we are forced to park in a gravel makeshift parking lot. And as you can imagine my car gets very dusty/dirty from people driving in and out of the gravel parking lot. So I am getting tired of washing it 3 times a week by hand. I would try to only do it once a week but as stupid as it sounds, I feel dirty when I drive my car and it is dirty.
I read that some pressure washers have built-in soap dispensers. But I read most devices will drop the internal pumping pressure as they dispense the soap so a lot of people recommend a foam cannon. Has anyone ever used one of these?
Also, my house does not have a water softener. Is it true that if you have a water softener and wash your car that you don't even need to dry it afterwords? You just park it in the garage and let it dry itself?
I was debating on just getting a car cover so I could just put that on my car when I get to work and take it back off when I leave but I don't know if the walmart ones are any good.
