Review on Chemical Guys ACC_326 Ultimate Connects by Joseph Hernandez

Great foam gun that uses very little soap

I have been looking for the BEST and FASTEST way to service and wash my car. The Chemical Guys ACC_326 TORQ Foam Gun 6 has become my favorite foam gun. What I like about it: 1. LOTS OF FOAM - especially in the "E" dial position2. USES SURPRISINGLY LITTLE SOAP. Filling a 32-ounce bottle with diluted soap only spends half the bottle on a car. The next week I was able to wash my car again with the remaining contents. FAST INSTALLATION. I don't need the power washer - very difficult to set up. I just take out the hose, fill the bottle and I'm good to go. I use quick hose connectors to quickly switch between a foam gun and a regular garden hose nozzle for rinsing.4. CALM. By eliminating the power washer, the car wash is very quiet and pleasant. So far I haven't noticed any disadvantages of the system, except that I don't use its flushing head. I prefer to use quick disconnects to switch to a regular garden hose nozzle as it gives me much more flexibility in choosing the jet type I want: a bug removing jet, a full flush jet, etc. METHOD: Before soaking, put six microfiber gloves in a bucket of diluted Foam soap and water (alkaline soap for removing road grime, pH neutral soap when I don't have time to fix the car paint). This way, after the car has been foamed up, I can quickly wash each panel of the car with one side of each hand wash mitt. The gloves do not need to be washed. I spray the insides of bed bugs with soap to get rid of bed bugs. Then I rinse the car to remove surface dirt. And I wash and remove bed bug innards with a soap-soaked microfiber cloth and a spray nozzle from a garden hoe. I lather the car and let the foam soak in to emulsify any remaining road grime. Then I wipe the contacts with dampened microfiber gloves - one on the car panel, one on the roof. Then I wash off the soap. then I dry the car with a large microfiber waffle towel. It takes about 30 minutes to wash to this point. I then use Meguair's Ultimate Fast Finish to set the paint and chrome. It takes very little time to finish the whole car because you don't have to wait for it to dry. The whole car takes about 15 minutes. A professional can do it in 5 minutes. Then I wash the windows and mirrors, after that everything is ready. Then I put my mittens and microfiber towels in the washing machine and then dry them. Car washing can be done weekly in less than an hour.
