I've been washing my personal car with the two bucket (grit guards in both) for a couple of years now. I'm trying to streamline my process, as I can easily consume two hours start to finish, between readying the tools, washing the body, washing the wheels, wiping down the door jambs, drying and putting everything away. I've been interested in a foam cannon for quite some time. My thought was that I would get rid of my soap bucket and only using a rinse bucket between panels after foaming the car and letting it dwell for a couple of minutes. The bottom line is, I've already decided to do this. My question is, what am I getting with the $120 Cam Spray or Autogeek Foam Canons that I'm not getting with the MTM Hydro Model 14.0263, which can be had for about $45? The products look almost identical.

there have been other sites that sell foam lance/cannon's for cheaper and they work equally as well as the more expensive ones. if you aren't too sure, call and find out what the return policy is before ordering one just in case...

I have been contemplating this same one for a while now. I have a foam blaster but want a "cannon". If you decide to buy it, would you mind doing a review?

Absolutely, but I have nothing to compare it to.

I basically just want to know if it foams well and feels heavily constructed. Maybe post a pic of the foam?

There is a pretty good demo on youtube. Just search "MTM Foam."

I got mine yesterday :) I haven't try it I still got to get some fittings to make it work with my electric PW. I will also try it with my 3K psi gas PW even thought I should get good results with my 2k psi electric PW.



This one you can find it cheap if you can get lucky. The lowest you will find them would be $80. They are imported from UK. Some of the parts are made in Italy. The minute I hold it I could tell is Heavy duty except the bottle of course but is still good plastic anyways.


I have seen good reviews and are also easy to customized and take apart to clean.


I will write a review and take pictures as soon as I am able to try it.

I'm also interested in a foam gun, but the price seems crazy.
