Let's talk foam cannons

I thought this was my bday present

I thought I was your bday present....[emoji17]

Yates you're only getting Jenny Craig

I just washed mine in the middle of the day yesterday in mid 70s and was fine. I don't like to do this as I like to do it early in the morn but had some free time at work. What helps is also to get a good soap the is ph balanced so if the suds do dry they will not etch. My good friends Adams sells great soap. Here is mine yesterday mid soak after the foam cannon.

All this foam gun and foam cannon talk

SMH

I have a hose mounted one. It's ok. I don't mind just hand washing it tho. I should probably get a small pressure cleaner just for car washing tho. We wash the D every weekend. [emoji136]

I personally have gotten to the point that I pull out the electric pressure washer every time I wash the vehicle anyways, so the foam cannon doesn't really add much more "work" to it IMO. I had the foam gun and after using it for about a month, I never used it again. Just wasn't worth the effort to use it honestly.

that pressure washer that Yeti posted is an awesome deal and one of the better pressure washers for automotive uses on the detailing forums I am on.

I did a lot of research on electric pressure washers after searching and making a purchase I would highly recommend the Clean Force 1400

It has a lot of bad reviews but that's because people didn't take care of it or prep it for winter in a garage that gets cold. IMO that's their own fault. No issues running 3 years strong now, plus the wand is the same style of a gas one which is really important because with most of those electric ones with plastic wands you have to engineer some sort of adapter for a good foam cannon to connect or a new wand all together. Just my .02

For example...



Where as my MTM foam cannon snapped right in out of the box.

For the price I just bought that AR blue clean. It's originally $200 on sale for $119 shipped 2-day air with Amazon prime. Couldn't walk from it and it came with a soap container for use as a foam cannon. I'll see how it works and if it doesn't work as anticipated I'll buy a different foam cannon.

This will come in handy when it comes time to clean the boat (when that happens).

was just looking at the 383ss and 390ss AR blues.. Really like the 390ss

THERE ARE 2 Different VERSIONS of the MTM Foam Canons.......


There is also a "Next Generation" version that Chemical Guys sells. That one is not in here.

I bought the LOW pressure unit and here are some pictures of it.

Stop shouting. Calm down Lee.

Nice buy

I paid 58.40 shipped and now it's 65 plus shipping Amazon. If you want this get it from wayfair. It's where mine came from.

YouTube Junkman. You'll find a wealth of information on products and technique. If you REALLY want to get your paint right (and keep it that way), start there. He has some of the best videos on cleaning, detailing and paint correction.

So I forgot about this on my pressure washer and may not even be anything but figure I should ask, my washer has a spot for a bottle to mix soap in, will this work the same? If I buy the soap and a bottle, then use my existing fittings will produce the foam or is the tip the key?

Buy a soaker tip and you are gold

Is that going to be a different tip than the four I have?

I have a craftsman washer and use the black low pressure tip for soap / foam and it works great , you shouldn't need anything but soap
