Yes you still wash it. The foam is just to loosen dirt up so you don't swirl up your car when washing it. Read this for much more economical alternatives the the foam gun...

I got mine for free, kinda.

I weed and feed my lawn pretty often. I buy Ortho Weed and Feed at Home depot. It comes in a sprayer that hooks up to the hose. The chemical mixes with the water under pressure and is distributed evenly. I just fill an empty one with Maguier's Gold Class car soap, point and spray. It actually uses very little soap but the suds are amazing.

I will probbaly wash it this weekend and will take a pic of the bottle in action. LOL

W&F costs about $7 or $8 bucks for the quart size that hooks up to the hose.

Stay tuned...
