Great video I love watching your content for inspiration. I actually work for a hygiene supply company that is also a karcher centre and just wanted to point out that you can make the fj6 compatible with the other karcher models with the "adapter M" that converts the old style trigger gun to fit the new style attachments, just incase anyone watching this has an older karcher

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks so much that's very kind of you. Thats a great tip thanks for sharing 🙏

[@davidedge630]

I started out with exactly the same one as it came with the pressure washer. For me it was perfectly adequate but wanted something better so plunged for a proper snow foam cannon. The proper snow foam cannon only really shines through in the winter due to the foam being thicker and allowed to sit on the car that bit longer Great video - I look forward to what is coming next

I'm going to try mine today my foam cannon just came in today.

[@Piner5074]

Been really happy with mine since buying it alongside my K4, certainly foams up well enough with 1:5 ratio with Autoglyms Polar Blast on full power. But I’ve since realised it’s not about the volume of foam, it’s more about the cleaning power, so now I’ve switched to Bilt Hamber, which is a lot less foamy but a lot more efficient at shifting the dirt, but I intend to keep it, as it does a great job for the price, my singular moan is it only just holds enough if you’ve got it on full power to cover a car… but that’s it. Less is more in terms of value for me.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Very good point mate. I'm testing the k7 now so giving the cannon another crack next week

Karcher k5, one of these. 2 cars both get washed twice a month, 1 deep clean 1 maintenance clean, I think it'll do me nicely

[@AlfaGiuliaQV]

I am a weekend warrior with a K5 and this lance i got with the purchase. I also have the Autoglym lance, and they are worlds apart!. The Kärcher lance is way too uneconomical to use, since it consumes heaps of product to even get a hint of foaminess, while the Ag needs next to nothing in ways of snow foam detergent to give a thick consistent blanket of foam. The spray pattern adjustment is also knife sharp, and don´t get me started on the quality feel, but you knew that :)

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I desperately want to try the Autoglym polar range. It's on my Xmas list 😃

[@davidedwards6319]

Hi. Advice I am given by foam supplier is not to pre-wash the car (i.e. apply foam to dry surface as otherwise the foam won't stick properly to the bodywork. I'm going to experiment this evening.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Depends on the situation. Normally yes spray onto dry car but in some cases if a car is filthy you still could shift the bulk of dirt

Id say if I'm on a budget then yep, however was given an infinity wax extra foam cannon as a birthday present. No doubt does the job well enough, another top notch effort.

[@peterreeves6825]

Thanks I enjoyed the video, especially as I have just picked one of the guns up from Halfords, I wonder what fluid you are using in the gun and what makes the most difference the quaity of the foam or the quiality of the gun. So is it better to use expensive foam in a cheap gun or cheap foam in an expensive gun?

[@patrickhowell5578]

It came free with the K4 I have, no complaints here, does a good job. We have 2 cars, so I wish the bottle was bigger, it easily does one car, but a bit just too small to do 2, but otherwise a decent cannon.

Karcher has a different view on car cleaning than you or I. This was designed as a car wash soap applicator, for a 1-0 bucket wash method, without a pre wash. I tell you I had nightmares when I saw their "how to wash a car with a karcher pressure washer" video. and yes I did start out with one of these :) It does work, you are correct on how most non detailers look at washing a car, but you do get what you pay for. the Autoglym snow foam lance is £30, but it does work a helluva lot better :) The Karcher K series lance (not the main unit, the vario lance) I think lacks pressure and fan consistency with that dumb twist for power thing. Every time I put the thing down the setting had changed. Dove me mad. The AG foam lance also give you access to 1/4" quick release nozzles (sold separately) which turns the Karcher into a more suitable enthusiast series tool imho. Good vid :)

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

I got an £80 karcher snow foam nozzle coming for the pro model next week. Should be interesting test. Thanks for watching mate

[@haroonkhan5933]

Dave I hope this reaches you and if you could have a quick read please; I was due to open a mobile valeting business this winter, but I’ve totally sacked it off due to saturation in the market. There’s literally a new mobile detailing start up every day here, and the prices have been driven to the ground by the new start ups out beating each other on price. Maintenence washes start at £20 including snow foam + 2 bucket method, full valet inc wet vac for £50, and £100 for a full decontamination and single stage machine polish and ceramic protection. Quality must be like dogs bollocks as it’s a rushed job then onto the next, but it’s sad to say this recent influx of so called mobile detailers have killed the market here in West Yorkshire. Is anyone else feeling the same where they live?

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Man that sucks. So due to the virus having an impact I've noticed a huge amount of mobile valeters start-up. So the competition is getting tough. So now you have to be smart and come up with something that makes you different to the rest. I live just outside London which is one of the remaining surviving areas so it's not affected us here and in fact I've stopped taking on clients now because I can't have staff with me and fully booked. I go for clients who expect the very best so the VIP, celebrity clients as they never give me grief

I got so many pressure washers and lances so all I can say is that my main one is yum cars stainless steel Lance with mtm sgs28 👌

[@ptvfr800]

I use the Karcher lance with 100% shampoo inside and turned down low, I get great foam and it doesn’t use a lot of product. I also have the meguiars foam lance which is no better than the Karcher, so I would suggest save you money and get the Karcher but use better quality shampoos.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Thanks mate good advice. To be honest the only reason I made this video on this model was because I had about 20 messages asking me to testify out. Definitely want to try more out now 👌

[@poptartdrumstudios7600]

I've got one for a tenner with a proper brass fitting and a 1000ml bottle

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Well done 👌. Had to make the video regardless as it's the best selling cannon in the UK 😬. I've been trying mjjc and think it's pretty good

[@poptartdrumstudios7600]

Thank you. I just got one from mjjc and using it in my next video and think it's incredible

@@insu1569 the domestic karchers can draw provided you have the suction hose. I used a k5 with mjjc snow foam cannon and it's amazing. It's more about the cannon not the psi. My next video will here tomorrow which shows both working perfectly 👌

Hello i have got a small k2 karcher and have a work van and car to clean what snow foam would you recommend please

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Honestly I would recommend something with a kick. So infinity wax powerfoam. Code EPIC can save you10% off it

[@span89]

I bought the exact same Snow Foam lance, kinda wish I'd spent more and got a better one. Not thick enough for my liking.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yeah I know what you mean about the thickness but the cleaning power of the snow foam is going to be good enough. I never really use a snow foam and opt for ore wash through chemical lance and still get fantastic results . Thanks for watching mate 👏

[@span89]

@@epicautomotivedetailing Yeah to be honest I think thick foam is more for 'the gram' keep up the great videos mate

[@MadelnMachines]

I've got one and it puts out pure water - no suds or foam at all. Not sure what's going on - using bilt hamber touchless. Using it with a k2. Tried ajusting the nozzle and playing with the tube.

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Touchless isn't a high foaming product so on that cannon it may have something to do with it

I purchased the Karcher original foam cannon for my Karcher K3 full control, and everytime I went to go use it, the yellow adaptor bit gets stuck, then the next day later, the seal broke and it started leaking. Before I bought this, i had purchased another foam cannon and it was the Halfords Original Snow Foam Kit for 20£ and for 5£ more, it lasted me 2 years.

[@seanaldo9187]

I started off with the Karcher one that came with my trusty old K2 9 years ago. I had one for snow foam and one for a top gloss drying aid. Since then I have moved onto the Autobrite Direct HD snow lance and have also upgraded to a Karcher K5 full control premium and have never looked back. I still have the karcher snow lances in the shed as a backup incase I have any issues with my Autobrite one

[@epicautomotivedetailing]

Yes of course well after you blast off the foam. The foam is there to remove some of the dirt

How long would it take If I were to wash a car with Karcher K2? I heard Karcher K2 can only be run for about 20 minutes continuously.

Depends more on your game plan. Eg wheels first then door shuts then bodywork. So many factors based on skills, weather etc for some people 1-2 hours exterior for a good job
