Garden Hose Foam Cannon vs Pressure Washer Foam Cannon

[@billshedd55]

I just doubled the amount of soap and got more foam.

[@B-DINO]

Soap ain't cheap though

[@YoursUntruly]

@@B-DINOYou’re buying the wrong soap. Soap is like shoes, you pay for the brand not the quality. Mine is $4CAD a gallon. So I use 50/50 mix in the foam cannon pressure washer combo. Once a monthZ

[@rand49er]

Since the whole point of doing this is to loosen the dirt clinging to the paint so you can rinse it off then use a MF cloth/mitt to gently remove the remaining dirt, it would seem the foam produced by the garden hose set would be sufficient. Thanks for the demo.

[@9NailzGarage]

No problem, thanks for the feedback!

[@billbigshlong382]

Correct. The foam cannon with just a hose is all you need. Foam produced by a pressure washer will not have any different effect on loosening particles.

[@tammyschmidt4458]

I’m excited, not bad for a garden hose

[@garyleeheard3434]

If your not in a hurry . The water hose one is good . For years i used the buckets too filled up with car soapy water and used a microfiber car mit or one with a pole whatever ya decide, then rinse . I did it as basically as a summer time career and use people's water and water hose . For a few years i used that viking soap nozzle and it work . Not alot of soap that's why i still used that bucket with it . Everything came out great. Its just whatever you prefer to do . Everyone works differently. Just at home cleaners or detailer..

[@9NailzGarage]

Agreed, everyone has their preferences!

Thank you! I just had my Camaro ceramic coated & am looking into adding a pressure washer but have been confused as to whether or not I should even invest in a pressure washer. This cleared it up for me. Very helpful

[@9NailzGarage]

Awesome Glad it helped you out!

[@cxptain3vil193]

Which one did you get?

[@clashwithmoi8926]

You just hand wash with soft wash mitts

[@CoroaEntertainment]

Just wondering... 1. What is your garden hose size (1/2", 5/8", 3/4"), and water pressure from the tap? 2. Is it possible to use the pressure washer canon with a garden hose (by using an adaptor)? 3. Also, the difference between the foam outputs for each cannon, might be due to the orifice/hole size and the internal mesh foam maker on the pressure washer cannon.

[@9NailzGarage]

Water hose was 5/8”, not sure of the pressure, it was pretty good though, hose was screwed directly to the cannon.

[@luigui707]

Sold on the garden hose version 👍

[@augaureliusserious]

You need to use a thinner hose (something like Orbit Coil Garden Hose) if you want to get anything close to the shaving cream foam from the foam gun

[@winstonlindley1819]

Will the results be similar with a smaller electric pressure washer… seems like a lot of effort getting out the gas one.

[@jasonlenihan9854]

Yes the electric pressure washers like the cheaper ones at Home Depot or Lowe’s are more than adequate to put out the same foam as a pressure washer in the video did.

[@brandon54521]

Like spraying frosting 🧁. 🤣

Foam cannon with a pressure, washer, hands down😊

[@9NailzGarage]

My choice as well!

[@andrewadam9544]

there cannot be an accurate comparison as the garden hose puts through much more water per minute than the pressure washer so its much more diluted

[@ILruffian]

The high end pressure washers used for car detailing put out huge flow rates. Many over 2 gal/min. Yet they produce massively thick foam. The one thing any of the detail guys will tell you is the #1 way to ensure poor quality foam is to buy a cheap pressure washer with

[@burntdog8277]

Might be a stupid question but would you need the foam cannon if the pressure washer has a bottle connection already I also have the AR pressure cleaner 1800psi system

[@9NailzGarage]

Is tit the connection that’s at the pump? I believe that’s set up for low pressure soap, might not work as well.

[@burntdog8277]

@@9NailzGarage oh ok thanks for the reply

[@ILruffian]

AR blue is one of the best pressure washers out there. But yes, it needs a quality foam cannon like the MTM PF 22.2 to go along with it. In addition to 1800 PSI, the AR has a super high flow rate (2.0 gal/min). That is actually more important than the 1800 PSI when making good foam.

[@igortodorovic6463]

When washing a car with either do you scrub the car after applying foam also? Or does the foam break down dirt, grime, and all that which you just rinse off instead ?

[@9NailzGarage]

The foam does help to break down the dirt, however you will still need to scrub to get everything clean. Some people don’t scrub with the foam cannon but I wouldn’t recommend it

[@mrbrowz1000101]

@@9NailzGarage oooooohh ok. I always thought the foam + chemical would break down and take the dirt off. I see now. Thank you so much for this comparison. I'll be using the cannon for multiple uses so...

[@ILruffian]

@@mrbrowz1000101 You can do touchless. But most of the guys still hand agitate (read: mitt wash) with the foam.

[@MaryPAULINElove]

Thanks for sharing, im wondering is it possible to attach pressure foam cannon to the hose?

[@9NailzGarage]

It probably won’t work very well, they’re designed for much higher pressures

[@marc_my_wordz]

When it comes to the garden hose foam cannon and this is for the peeps who handwash their cars.. would you rather handwash a entire vehicle or spend $25 to get this foam cannon? Its still gonna need to be handwashed but it applies the soap without you having to by hand which is also more efficiently effective to get alot of suds on it without breaking your back.. Cant afford a pressure washer buy the garden hose cannon. Got a pressure washer already? Buy the foam cannon for a pressure washer! Got mine coming in tomorrow cant wait to use it!! I have used maguiars cleaner wax paste Then used ultimate wax paste I already have armorall’s snow foam soap to hand wash it Also have the maguiars ultimate wax soap too to give it a spray down and a rinse to maintain my wax coating. No doubt in my mind this was the best $25 ill ever have spend in my life!

[@ericwilliams5338]

Hello curious about something said in the video. You said you used it on number 5 setting for max foam. In another video someone said for max foam you should use on the lowest number. Can you help? Thanks

[@9NailzGarage]

Hello! I like to use the particular foam cannon on the highest setting to get the most foam, the other person might have had a different foam cannon with different types of settings or they just have a different preference on how much foam they want. In the end, buy a foam cannon and splay with the different settings with different amounts of soap in the container and find out what you like best, there’s really no right or wrong, just more so personal preference. I hope this helps!

[@josephmitchell8283]

I guess this website is no longer up.. I just noticed this is 2 years old. I wanted to see what kind of soap is used for foam?

[@drobinson0601]

Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use kzbin.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

[@9NailzGarage]

Thanks!

[@Mr_Wiggelz]

Is that a common method of drying you car using a blower? And do you use a towel before the blower?

[@9NailzGarage]

Sure is, not much different then the blowers at an automatic car wash

[@Sidicas]

Does the pressure washer foam cannon use less soap to coat the car? I think it would.

[@drobinson0601]

Works like a dream

[@9NailzGarage]

It sure does!

[@marlenewiegand5461]

I have a has Sampson 3000 psi. 2.1 gpm for years. I really dont want to buy another power washer with lower psi. Can I use the 3000 psi with a foam cannon to foam only and rinse with only the hose? I cannot dial down my pressure washer and I know you normally want max 2000 psi. What will happen if I use 3000 psi with foam cannon? Thank you.

[@marls10191]

How much PSI is needed in order to get that kind of foam?

[@9NailzGarage]

The pressure washer in the video is about 1800 psi

[@aperson1181]

Where do you get the garden hose foam cannon?

[@9NailzGarage]

You can find them on Amazon

[@necurrence1776]

I'm assuming the pressure washer will clean your car using less water but with more energy, plus the cost, storage and eventually maintenance. I live uphill so I'll need a pressure washer regardless, my garden hose doesn't do jack for me.

It’s all just personal preference

Beautiful foam 😍😍😍

[@harryeverson7924]

Is that much suds really necessary

[@9NailzGarage]

Personal preference

[@blakewilson3062]

Almost certain that the number 5 setting has more water output and the 0 has almost zero water

[@crlaw75]

Either way, still gets soap on the vehicle.

[@samperry2517]

If you have a hose, just use more soap or less water for more suds!!!!

That works too!

Does that soap actually work to where u don't have to use a sponge to wash?

It works to an extent, but not near as good as hand washing after the suds are applied

[@ILruffian]

Lots of possible issues. #1 is flow rate. Note sure what pressure washer you have, but flow (gallons/min) is more important than PSI. You then have to choose what orifice size you use in the foam cannon based on the PSI and flow rate of your pressure washer.
