So what did I do with my Gladiator? I pulled our 2013 RZR to town and pulled a 2026 RZR home.

We went and picked up about 100 bales of hay out of 1 of the hayfields. I just pulled the trailer around. Someone younger than I stacked it on the trailer.

Went down to the Jeep dealer to order a right side bumper bezel in preparation for a tow hook on the passenger side. Around $13.00 but it’ll make the install cleaner. Also picked up a foam blaster thing to do car washing with. I’ve been looking at them and for how we do regular car washes it should work. We try to rinse at least a couple times a week but if we can add a decent soap/wax thing to the blaster I think we’ll get a better clean. Living on a dirt road is hell on a paint job. Trying to keep em looking decent up to when I do a liner coating on the Jeep. Picked the colors now have to find a place to do it like I want and gather the funds to get er done.

Retired. Finally !!
I've kicked around the idea of getting a foam blaster....let me know how it works out for you !!

I have a little electric pressure washer (1800 psi), I put the soap nozzle on and filled the tank with car wash soap and sprayed the undercarriage when I first brought my Jeep home. Cleaned it up well, but I can't bring myself to spray the body paint with it.

I have a foam gun that I used with my electric pressure washer quite a bit. Big fan of it. Gets a good coating of soap foam on the vehicle, and that helps minimize scratching when washing.

Edit: Checked Amazon, I have this one https://a.co/d/06kD7NCD

Really depends on what you want to do. If you want to do a prewash kid of thing pick up some snow foam to loosen up dirt and grime without touching the vehicle physically. Then use your regular foamy wash with a mit and the 2 bucket method. The foam gives it lube and the not just gives it a light scrub. My goal right now is maintenance so it’s not going to be a perfect wash. Just gets a majority of the dirt and grime without touching and causing possible swirls. Power washer with soap shouldn’t damage the vehicle at all. I use the one that attaches to the hose though. Dual hose bib. 1 for plain water to wet everything and the other to the foam gun to suds it down.

For a full on wash I’ll do everything. Snow foam, regular car wash foam, scrubby mit, dry, and finally wax.

Did my good deed for the day. Saw a 5th wheel jacked up on the side of the road and 2 guys staring at it. That’s not normal. I stopped to see if they were good and they couldn’t get the trailer jacked up high enough to get the tire off. Off-road jack to the rescue!! About time lugging that thing came in handy. Got er done and get em on their way. Good karma yields good karma. Then I picked up my bumper bezel from the Jeep dealership. :like:
