He helps you dry the car? Must be a real PITA with those short arms.
Like the others have said, I used the foamer to loosen grime and strip wax. In the winter I'll be using it to wash my daily drivers.

It's a few more steps in the washing process therefore it slows down, not speeds up the process.

All the processes above are great. To your question about it speeding up the process: I think it speeds it up when cleaning wheels and wheel wells, a lot of the crud can be removed by just rinsing (which wouldn't rinse off with a reg hose), also power rinsing around emblems and body moldings helps get rid of crap that stays behind the emblems if you only use a hose.
The biggest difference I noticed was how much cleaner wheels can get.

I dont foam anything but use a 2.0gpm 4000psi pressure washer to go over entire care and engine compartment, under hood - carefully - use it on the wheels and wheel wells, and underside as needed, and then wash the vehicle by hand.
Around here where mold grows in every nook and cranny on vehicles that are left outside, the pressure washer is a necessity if you want to do a great detail.

It does not speed up the process but perhaps does a gentler job and will better preserve the flawless finish. If your car has minor defects such as my DD, I dont think it is worth the extra effort.
I would tell you that if you hose has decent pressure and you want to get a 10.00 hd weed and feed type foamer fine.
On the other hand if you have a hightly polished garage queen and you have the coin-why not?

Well I do detailing as a side thing right now and Im trying to fit more cars into my schedule. I have a foam gun, but Im not real happy with it. I just see youtube videos of guys that do very high end detailing and they all have pressure washers and foam the cars. Thats why I asked if people rinse, foam, rinse and call it a day. Thanks for all the input.
