Is it really worth $100?

I have had foam cannons for a while now, the only issue I have with doing it is the car has to be cool and you can't do this in the sun at all. All this does is coat your vehicle with a layer of foam, you still have to wash it.

the reason i feel its worth it is that it lifts the dirt off so cleaning is much easier, but then again if you keep it waxed i guess you wouldnt have that problem. I on the other hand can never find time to wax the truck and it gets filthy at the plant so weekly washing is required. all those dollars spent at the quick wash over time makes this worth it to me

my soap dispenser broke the pump on my generac. it was under warranty so pump was replaced free but rather not have to go through that often

Is it worth $18.11 for a similar one with good reviews from Amazon? Gallon of the same soap is $29.00. Total less than $50

They are worth it imo. Makes washing vehicles a hell of a lot easier. Mine hooks up to the pressure washer. I have seen some that run off of an air compressor.

i don't get it. he takes a not dirty cobra, pressure washes it to start with water, then soaps the shite out of yet (so fancy) but still follows the soaping with another soap bucket wash rag wash, then another pressure washing to rinse.

Best invention is a piece of pipe on casters with holes drilled in and a quick connect for a pressure washer

I use their "Bare Bones" for the wheel wells and undercarriage on the jeep. Stuff is legit.

The foam is a lubricant of sorts. Everything they do is to prevent swirls/scratches in the clear coat. Sure you can wash the dirt off quickly with a push broom and dawn but that doesn't mean it's good for the exterior.

I have the MTM one. Chemical Guys prob rebranded it.

It makes washing much easier. I usually add a little powerclean/degreaser.

I powerwash, foam, 2 bucket wash, and rinse. If it's hot, just keep foaming as you wash.

Yes, the foam cannon aerates the soap as it goes thru it's nozzle. Any car soap will foam up.
