Foam Cannon

To anyone who is interested in dramatically improving their wash routine - get a foam cannon. I picked one up and it is awesome. To anyone who has frozen paint - this is a no brainer. I love it.

I have the normal hose Foamaster by Gilmour. It takes some trial and error getting the dilution ratio correct, but regardless, it won't produce as thick of a foam as using a pressure washer. Still better than nothing, though!

Just watch out for those MCCB's....Cleaners are already bad and foamed detergents exponentially increase the oxadative residue.

I have the Chemical Guys MTM Foam Cannon and it works great. Pressure washer is recommended with most foam cannons. I believe the recommended minimum pressure is 1800 psi.
I have a Honda 2500 PSI and it makes a ton of foam!!
