Do any of you guys use a hand pump foamer to spray car wash soap on the whole car? My Hellcat doesn’t get too dirty. I only drive it on nice days.

Like the ones made by ammo nyc, Griots, Adams

I was thinking about using one of those at the car wash and use their pressure washer to rinse.

There’s even a separate bay at my car wash just for blow drying.

Larry at AMMO NYC is a stand-up guy. I have his hand-pump foamer. It works ok, but for a whole car, you'll need a million pumps. I use it for wheel cleaner now.

I use an iK Foam Pro 12,(air powered) for my rinseless washes, using his Frothe.

Just get a pressure washer and a $18 foam cannon from harbor freight works amazing, it’s what I use.

You can get battery powered cordless pressure washers if the hand pump one is too much like hard work, here's one for example:
https://www.greenworkstools.co.uk/product/40v-cordless-pressure-washer/

I don't know what they are like nor how long the batteries last but something you could research. I've had Greenworks 40V gardening tools for 10 years and still use the batteries I originally bought and never had any problems. Their self propelled lawn mower lasts a reasonable length of time but the leaf blower time is a bit short lived although adequate (I use it to dry the car).

Bit pricey to buy the tool and batteries at once though.

I've got several Ridgid 18v tools, and when you mentioned a leaf blower to dry a car I thought about this if someone is in the market for battery operated blower and trimmer. For both I think it's a good price, not to mention lifetime warranty if you register it within first 30 days when purchased from Home Depot LINK

I only drive my Cat on nice days, so it only gets dust that settles on it and some road dust. I use a California Duster followed by a quick detailer. Meguiars Gold Class is great. Especially on black cars.
