Because that’s where videos are uploaded and shared, not wasting bandwidth on a bulletin board. It’s difficult enough for sites to keep up with monster picture sizes of a ******* soap dispenser.

What I’m saying is I didn’t care about a bunch of people that posted videos on YouTube. I want to see videos and pictures from members of this site that directly corespondent to the current thread

@quietpeen you’re welcome. I can see why you wanted to post the video. The foam is coming out and laying way thicker than your picture shows. The ceramic coating is no joke

Damn...that’s the kind of coverage I’m looking for... maybe I need to just get it out and practice spraying it on the house or something till I get the kinda coverage I’m after...lol.

Hahaha I actually did that. I used it to spray the vinyl roof of my front porch with a mixture of dawn dish soap and simple green. It actually worked making foam. Then I used a scrub brush to clean it before power washing the soap off

I have the Adams Polishes foam cannon and use the Adams purple shampoo. My pressure washer is gas powered 3000psi and I do get the foam as they show on youtube videos. I find that you have to shake the hell out of the soap/water mixture to get it to foam right though.

I also have the Chemical Guy's foam gun and it's just pointless.


I have the Chemical Guys Foam gun too... the one you just hook up to your hose. I can get a TON of foam on the car but I have to wash it a few times for it to be clean.

So, maybe a dumb question, but... do these foam cannons allow you to foam and rinse? Meaning no hand washing?

not a dumb question, the answer is no and I think that is a very common misconception about foam cannons.

So if we still have to hand wash then what’s the benefit of the foam cannon? Am I misunderstanding something?

The main benefit is that the foam is going to loosen the dirt up and help to safely remove it. For me it really speeds up the washing process because I cover the whole vehicle is less than a minute and then with a wet soapy microfiber mitt I start hand washing the vehicle and don't stop till i've done the whole thing. Then rinse and back the vehicle up in the garage and dry it.

I tried a foam cannon. Wasn't for me bc it just wasn't getting the surface clean. I like the no rinse stuff.
