Hello,

I just ordered a 2000 PSI Electric Power Washer and I would also like to get a Foam Cannon. I would like one that leaves behind nice and thick soap on the car and the soap will very slowly slide off the car.

Any suggestions/pictures/videos?

Thanks

You may need a little more power to get the thick long lasting foam. I use a gas 2800 PSI. The foam cannons are pretty much all the same, I have a few MTM versions.

Any good foam soap works well too but the key imo is the power.

Its not about PSI, its about the GPM, gallons per minute.

Higher GPM pressure washers will produce thicker foam.

Mine is 1.4GPM according to the manufacture.

MTM foam Lance FTW!

This was after 4-5 mins. This is with 2oz of meguiars hyperwash.
You can see on the ground just how thick it comes out.

How do you like the hyperwash? Have you ever tried their M62 wash?

Most cannons are relabeled MTM foam cannons.

I like the hp one they sell here. Idk if it's the "best" but it's pretty good. I've had it for a year and I wouldn't buy a different one

I get that easy even when I only had the harbor frieght 1600 psi

The thickness of the foam has nothing to do with psi or gpm. Any pressure washer will do it. It's about how much soap you use

I disagree. While the amount of soap is a factor a weak pressure washer just isn't going to lay down long lasting lather. It just won't, sorry. But if you say you can why not provide some photos?

I actually just picked up the hyperwash and haven't tried anything else of their's. I've used soaps from all over the place and never been really disappointed. I've used Adam's, optimum, meguiars gold class, etc. Only thing I didn't quite care about the gold class was after quite a few washes it eventually started to clog ceramic coatings.

I didn't have a smartphone when I had my harbor frieght one but why would I lie? What do you think it's a foam conspiracy? What's the lowest you'very tried the hp is 1600 and easily makes foam. My k5 makes foam as good or better then your gas one
