I sometimes use a foam gun for the purpose you stated. Lubrication. If you wash your coated car weekly, or even every 2 weeks, a foam cannon should not be needed. The foam gun serves the same purpose, as neither gun or cannon will remove road film for the most part. Only hand washing will do that. Of course if you drive in mud or gravel roads, that's a different story. I use the foam gun on mine to remove loose stuff, rinse it, then foam it again and hand wash. But I am lazy, that beats dragging the pressure washer out of the shed at the tender age of 72

I’ve had a foam gun for two years and love it. I don’t need a foam cannon since my cars are washed weekly and I don’t want to drag out the pressure washer every time I wash the car. I don’t get quite the foam as a cannon but I like the fact the foam I get flows off the car a little more quickly removing some particles that I may not have with the pre rinse. I also get more foam with my gun than you did with yours. I can also fill my gun and get 4 washes out of each fill.

Another great video. I use a pump sprayer for wheels when I do them separately, but a foam cannon for pre-washes. I've had success with replacing the stock orifice with a 1.1 mm Foam Cannon Orifice -- the smaller opening produces a thicker foam. Only a few US dollars from Amazon.

Hi Pan, great video. I use a Marolex pump sprayer just for the wheels, and Bilt Hamber Autofoam in an AutoGlym foam cannon. The Adams foam is thick, but the real test is how well it cleans. Also it looks like the Adams would take a lot of rinsing to clear the car…..and the driveway too! BH foam cleans brilliantly and doesn’t linger on the driveway either. If you have access to a pressure washer, can’t see a use for a foam gun.

[@gandoo10]

This helped me realize a gun will be better for me than a cannon. I have no use for a pressure washer other than cleaning the cars I own. I don't do the stuff with a washer that many other people do around their homes. About the gun you used, it was very "runny" as you mentioned. Does this affect how well it removes loose dirt by much compared to the cannon? I plan to hose off the foam afterwards and then continue with a bucket and mitt anyway so as long as the "runny" foam still does a decent job even compared to a cannon and pressure washer, it seems I can still enjoy the look of foam and the benefits of foaming the car as a pre-wash. I understand a cannon will make the better foam and yield better results but using a gun and garden hose isnt just a fool's errand, right?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Runny doesn't affect their performance. What does matter is what type of snow foam you are using. A neutral snow foam like the Adam's Mega Foam isn't meant for cleaning, it's just meant to help remove loose dirt safely and add lubrication on the surface. For cleaning grime and traffic film better, you need a snow foam like Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam or CarPro Lift, which are alkaline snow foams. More about that in my video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpuYlX2Lgp15mJY

[@2wheelsx2]

Thanks for the helpful video once again Pan. I never thought to rinse out my mtm foam cannon after foaming. Will do that from now on. One thing of interest to me would be the new cordless foam sprayers and foam cannons. It would be great if you can review one or 2 of those.

[@bat__bat]

Hmm if u drill a hole in the pump sprayer and put a bulkhead fitting and qd, u can quick connect your shop air compressor and blast foam pretty well I'd imagine

[@jotighe2]

something perhaps worth pointing out in the pro/con listings: cannon requires electric and water hook-ups, gun requires water-only hook up, and pump requires absolutely nothing but elbow grease. kind of a deciding factor for most- even you. you said you use cannon because you have the hook-ups (and machine). in other scenarios, pump is the only way to go. btw, I use a pump for wheel treatments; cannon for all else.

[@tomplatz4318]

I use both. Foam cannon first then foam gun as my bucket wash w microfiber pads. No two bucket much faster w the gun as the contact wash.

[@johnp6987]

I’ve tried a foam gun and against a foam cannon it’s way behind with regards to the thickness of foam you get. I would always tell people f your serious then get a pressure washer and cannon

[@RF_Andy]

foam gun at home preferred. Cheap, ez, quick and reliable love it for maintenance washes….. and always use bead maker as a drying aid then top with dream maker 10/10 pan recommends 👍

[@saulurena7681]

Got me a pressure washer and I didn't even bother washing my car with the "foam cannon" that came with it. Just waited for a professional one, even though I am not, let me tell you, there is a HUGE difference between a legit pressure washer/foam cannon set up and a little sud sprayer. Save your money, RYOBI makes a really good budget pressure washer, foam cannon would be a nice investment if you want to keep your car looking nice!

[@dougmaverick3287]

Pan I love Porsches, owned one for 11 years, they drive like no other cars. The Turbo is an awesome car, but my friend it's an automatic.😫 My advice, trade it in on a manual GT3 Touring edition. I guarantee you more driving pleasure, with a 9,000 rpm redline. Intoxicating is an understatement. SaveTheManuals. Peace.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I like the sound of a GT3 but once you try the acceleration of a Turbo S, everything else seems so slow. And GT3 or GT3 RS are too track focused for me, not as comfortable for everyday use in my personal taste. Plus I love high quality audio and my Burmester sound system destroys the Bose (you can’t get the Burmester in GT3). Also, as my Porsche is my daily driver, I need all wheel drive for our harsh Canadian winters. And the PDK is the best automatic on the planet. So for all those reasons, I think you understand how my 911 Turbo S is the perfect pick for me and my needs. I absolutely love this car. I am done driving manual cars. I understand those who like it, but I used to like it at 20 years old. Not for daily use at 42 hehe. But is the GT3 a great car? Of course. It’s a Porsche. Even a Cayman or Macan are great vehicles. Cheers!

[@dougmaverick3287]

@@PanTheOrganizer No doubt Pan, I've test drove a Turbo S and the acceleration is so strong with launch control, it can give you a head rush. By the way I pick up my new 2023 GR Corolla on Monday.

I have both and used both. I quit using the foam cannon and just use the foam gun. I couldn’t tell the difference in them. The foam cannon foam looked cool. So much easier with the foam gun. I just use the pressure to cleaner to clean the driveway and things that need a lot of pressure to clean.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

That's odd. There has never been a foam gun that I have seen perform as well as a foam cannon in a proper setup. What kind of pressure washer are you using?

[@garyjohnson7133]

@@PanTheOrganizer Simpson 4 gallons a minute 4,000 psi. Control valve pressure regulator. Maybe I wasn’t clear, the foam cannon with the the pressure cleaner puts out is off the charts. Didn’t see any difference in the final cleaning results. Thats why I just use the foam gun. I modified it so it puts out a lot more foam. Sir you have probably forgot more about car detailing that I will ever know. I try to watch everything you post. I hope this explains it. I should have been more clear. You have a great day and a Merry Christmas !🎄🎁

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Ah ok now that makes more sense hehe. A pressure washer and foam cannon will always output way more foam than a standard foam gun and garden hose. Just be careful using such a high pressure unit. It's never recommended to use more than 2000 psi to wash cars. I set my high end Kranzle pressure washer to 1000 psi (2.1GPM) when washing cars. Water flow is more important than pressure. As far as cleaning, not all snow foams are meant to have a cleaning power. So there's likely a reason why you don't see a difference in your current situation, depending on what snow foam you are using. There are only a handful of snow foams that actually do pre-cleaning of the surface during the pre-wash stage. Those are usually higher up in the pH scale so you wouldn't use them every week. I made a video comparing different snow foams cleaning power here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpuYlX2Lgp15mJYsi=1SewfCb6R0Gg9wqF kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2jdaZSgpM-FjKssi=7JlpedqkyP2rBtwM Long story short, if you are just using a pH neutral snow foam, that won't do much for "cleaning". Those are meant more for lubrication on the surface prior to the contact wash, to reduce chances of marring. For deeper cleanings, that's when you can pull out snow foams like Bilt Hamber Touch-Less, Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam and CarPro Lift. Those actually eat away at the grime and road film, before you wash the car. What snow foam are you using?

Still a little bit unsure but I would guess a slightly less concentrated than shaving foam?

Type of pressure washer (a higher amount of GPM water output leads to more foam, so a pressure washer with 1.3 GPM will produce less foam than one that pumps out 2.1 GPM) 3. Type of snow foam (not all snow foams produce the same amount of foam) 4. Dilution ratio of snow foam (adjust the dilution according to your setup. Start with the recommendations on the label, and increase the amount as needed). 5. Water quality. The better the water, the more foam and suds you get. So deionized water will always produce more foam compared to hard tap water, for example.

Hi Pan.....I use both.....chemical guys foam gun for when car has light dust on it.....foam cannon(adams) for when car is dirtier

Great review. I can’t wait to try my new pressure washer and foam cannon. I’ve never used this kind of thing before. I’m a first timer with that kind of set up.

Thanks Pan. The other 'style' 'Foam Guns' work a bit better than the one you showed us here. My son and I use (when we don't use the Pressure Washer) what I will call the 'Gilmour Style' one with the black adjustment wheel on top. A little search and you will see knock offs and similar ones with just different brand stickers and or labeling. Nice Obsessed Garage Stainless Fittings on everything and good to go. We have had our for years now without issue.

I can't help but think that with some different nozzle and a possibility to adjust the air/water ratio the snowgun concept could achieve better result, what's your opinion on that Pan? BTW I always used distilled water in my snow canon, its supposed to make the foam a bit thicker

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I use deionized water as well. Yes DI water always produces more foam and suds compared to hard tap water.

Hi Pan. It's big joe from Glasgow Scotland here. I don't know if you will remember me because it's been about a year since I posted a comment. At that time I Was waiting on a operation to my back for spinal stenosis. Well I had the surgery eventually. The delay was due to covid resulting to massive delays in the NHS operations. If you remember I asked if you would take your porche to the track as you did previously with your BMW. When you purchased your porche you and a your friend gave your porche a ceramic coating. I remember him saying that you would probably change your car after 2 years. Are you starting to get the I need a change urge?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Hi Joseph! I remember you! I hope everything went well with the surgery and hopefully you recovered well. Glad to have you back here! Yeah I get a brand new car every three years, so by spring of 2024, I'll have something new. Yes I did bring my car to the track, and measured a 10.1s quarter mile run @ 138 mph. What a blast this new 911 Turbo S !!! We also measured a 0-100 km/h in 2.3 seconds. What a beast!!

[@bobsmith1101]

[@jzimmerman8472]

Can you do a show on wether or not to purchase any coatings for the car dealerships. In the US car dealerships try to upscale DuPont coatings and other brands applied by the dealership. Just wondering if they are any good.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Never buy any protection the dealership offers. They offer cheap products at a high cost to maximize profits. Bring your car to a reputable professional detailer and have them apply a good ceramic coating, or do the work yourself. I have tons of easy to follow tutorials.

[@roymail25]

What Pressure washer do u recommend for Personal use; I'm not a small business. Just a car guy

[@PanTheOrganizer]

1000 to 2000 psi is what we use to wash cars. It’s not recommended to go over 2000 psi

[@richardthornhill260]

Sorry might be stupid question in the UK our hoses are different size is there a connection where I can use the foam gun to be used on our size pipes

[@PanTheOrganizer]

You can buy which ever foam gun you want, and just buy a threaded adaptor in the UK like this: amzn.to/3vYnYlh And you can buy this foam gun: amzn.to/3zUpUO2 Or you can buy a foam gun that already comes with the adapter: amzn.to/3oPLjBr

I like the quick disconnect of the Adams foam gun, mine is a screw type but it performs very well I have to say and my foam connon is that Amazon type not too bad but I need to upgrade to a beter one, great video Pan.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Thanks! Glad it could be of help.

[@just_passing_through]

I think we need a foam ‘pump’ that uses an 18volt battery to keep the pressure up. That would be a great intermediate solution if you don’t have a pressure washer. Ryobi, I’m looking at you… The garden hose (Gun) solution doesn’t even make it into the race.

[@79blustone]

MJJC V2 With Bilt Hamber Touchless and I sometimes add 100ml or 200ml of Bilt Hamber Surfex HD in the cannon also for an increased dirt and muck removal at the pre cleaning stage. When are you 2022 awards Pan? I'm looking forward to what you recommend this year! Will any of these products still wear the crown from last year of will there be any new comers to dethrone 2021 products?? 😁

Hi pan the foam cannon is definitely the best way to go do you happen to know what the orifice size was in the adams 1.25 or 1.1 I have a couple of cannons and use the 1.1 for a smaller pressure washer thanks 😊

[@PanTheOrganizer]

They don't mention the orifice size on their website. But their premium foam cannon comes with a 1.25mm orifice. This one: amzn.to/3PPmXDT

What is the best foam gun for a garden hose?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

They are all very similar really. Don’t expect magical amounts of foam, compared to a proper foam cannon and pressure washer setup.

[@lloydmcpherson4920]

Hi Pan, I use both. When children are around they love to use the foam canon with the pressure washer. For regular maintenance wash I like to use the foam gun since the car gets a nice layer of soap this way, sometimes I combine and dilute different types of soaps. Do they make a foam gun to be used on my air compressor if yes would the dilution portion change.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

Yes there is a foam gun you can attach to your air compressor, here: amzn.to/3zlm3YH

[@lordgarth1]

The pump is definitely less runny than both but i think the water is needed to be efficacious.

Hey Pan. Can u do a video about what happens when u wet or wash a new applied ceramic coating and what to do to fix it.

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I wouldn't do that, as that would mean coating and car and ruining the coating, polishing it off and redoing it. No customer would agree to such a test. And it's pointless in my opinion. Just don't expose the vehicle to water or rain for the first 24 hours. Period. Follow the instructions of the coating you are buying.

[@Pittsburgh-412]

What if you use adams mega foam and put a better cleaning shampoo in the cannon with it. So it foams great and cleans

[@PanTheOrganizer]

I wouldn't recommend mixing different products unless you know the chemistry and see if there's compatibility. At that point, just get a snow foam that has better pre-cleaning capabilities (more alkaline pH) like Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam or CarPro Lift. I have demonstrated their cleaning properties here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpuYlX2Lgp15mJY

[@patrickdonahue777]

Pan - not sure if I'm asking this right but, specifically for the pre-wash stage, how do you feel about a pre-soak with a rinseless wash type product using a pump-up sprayer rather than a car wash type product that you foam on?

[@PanTheOrganizer]

A rinseless wash will be more for encapsulating loose dirt and adding lubrication before you pre-rinse the vehicle. A proper cleaning snow foam like Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam or CarPro Lift will actually start breaking down grime and traffic film, which a rinseless wash doesn't do.
