What’s the most expensive these things go? $100-$125?

The fact that you have to add that suggests you do in fact have a budget for this product.

Foam cannons are all the same. They’re not a complicated piece of machinery. Just go to any pressure washing supply website and get whatever they have

There is not that much difference in them. I have had $20 and $100 ones, and the difference was negligible. Certain not worth the cost.

This. They’re a fricking nozzle with a siphon tube designed to allow some air to mix in with a container attached who would spend $700 on something like this? You can probably order parts to make a high quality makeshift one for $10

I purchased it pre-owned. It’s probably cheaper than some high end 4x4’s

Just about any foam gun for PRESSURE washers will do the trick. The key is what kind of soap to use.

I prefer Nerf. It is the market standard for a reason.

I have the one that goes on my Sunjoe elec pressure washer. However, I probably only hit the car with water a couple times a year. Most of the time it just needs a wipe down.

I use a regular pressure washer(Sun Joe Name brand) with a Sun Joe SPX foam cannon for my not so high end car.

Here's me putting my boy to work using it:

Get here as fast as you can and order this one:
MTM PF22.2

It's the best one I've used. Works great with Adam's car wash soap (I like the original version best over Mega or Ultra foam because pH is closest to 7), but my favorite soap for a foam cannon is Koch Chemie GSF.

You do need to have a decent functioning pressure washer to effectively use any foam cannon as it is intended, but that one above will definitely give you shaving cream foam in the right setup.

Someone mentioned Pan the Organizer and he is great, but if you have less of a budget constraint, head over to obssessedgarage.com and get to work.

Don’t wash the car, you’ll either frick it up or it will take too long, and two hours in you’ll wonder why you didn’t pay the $100 to get it done right. Garage it and take it to someone that knows what they’re doing

Hard to frick up your car with a foam cannon.

It's touchless and takes 10-15 minutes.


But I do agree, if you want to get a full detail done, just take it somewhere and pay them to do it.

And does a good but not great job. Won't get road tar off and does an OK job on wheels.


That is what I often do though. When I am really in the mood, I use the foam cannon, then a 2 bucket wash, the dry with my blower, then use Ethos Defy to make her shine.
