Just got my BigBoi as well, pretty exited about it. Probably more than I should be ?

What are you guys using for a foam cannon? I need to get a new one (old one froze and cracked).

One from turtle wax that fits my Karcher. Nothing fancy, about 50USD I would guess.

How does the BigBoi compare to the Metrovac Master Blaster 4HP should you have considered it? I’ve been using this one on my wrap and ceramic coating to prevent swirls for about 3 years and while happy, could do with a tad more power to dry large panels quicker / get all the water out of the panel gaps in one or to pass

I literally use my battery powered EGO leaf blower and works just fine :)!!
Here is mine (reposting but why not!) after it's first wash by me today (just a basic Adam's spray wax after)

Wall mounted with the 30 ft hose! Much easier than original setup.

I just use a "Rigid 4 Gallon 5.0-Peak HP Portable Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum with Fine Dust Filter, Hose and Accessories"

Air is slightly warmed by the heat from motor and blows the car dry real quick.

I also got the "1-1/4 in. Premium Car Cleaning Accessory Kit for RIDGID Wet/Dry Shop Vacuums" - does all I need for inside and out for about $125 all in.

I just dry with a battery powered leaf blower, and then maybe a quick wipe with a microfiber towel. What's the advantage of the Bigboi? Am I missing out?
