How are you guys using your foam cannon? And are you still having to use a wash mitt?
The foam will not get the car completely cleaned even if you have a coating on the car. To get it truly clean, you will still need a wash mitt.

The details of person’s routine will vary. For me, I use it as a prewash and lubrication for the scrub. So with the car dirty, I spray as you do and let it sit then rinse off. This loosens up the dirt and gets it pretty clean without touching or rubbing the dirt into the paint, as much as possible. Then I spray again and do not rinse it off. This will be a light coating. Then using the mitt with a soapy bucket, I scrub the car. This time it is a lubrication layer as I take off the remaining dirt.
