Foam Cannon!!!

[orngez]

So I have been patiently waiting for my foam cannon/lance to arrive....hehe...it was worth the wait

....i like the all brass and metal design of it...this thing is going to be bullet proof (i hope :p) looks simialr to others i have seen...just instead of the quick disconnect fitting of gas washers...this one has the twist and pull lock connector found on electric karcher pressure washers...whats nice is the threaded design of the connector allows you to switch it out to fit other pressure washer connections as well...its also two way adjustable...you can turn the nozzle to adjust the spray pattern to fan on jet (and everything inbetween) and the dilution ratio is adjustable by the knob on top...

I decided to do a "get the dust off wash" so i presprayed the car with a mix of onr and 1/2 oz of wash n gloss....then i did a full spray down with 2oz of wash n gloss which is seen in the next pic...its a 1 liter bottle...so i filled the rest with water....i can tell you right now i could have easily used less...just being my first time using this i wanted to have some fun....

Now on to the FOAM!!! i let it sit for 10 minutes while i enjoyed a beer to let the wash n gloss do its work...the clinging foam helps let the soap do the work to emulsify and encapsulate dirt...

This stuff was going on like shaving cream

After flood rinsing off all the foam...mind you i have yet to bring out a bucket or wash mitt...i simply misted the entire car down with ONE....and then followed with a cobra mf towel...not a spec of dirt on the towel when i was done...no marring and the paint was already squeaky clean before misting with ONE...i just did it anyway to help the drying process and just extra insurance to get any last grit off the paint...i slapped on a layer of petes53 and this is what i ended up with

Hey bud, amazing product and even more foam that the others I've seen. Where do I get it and how much? Also, are you using the 1400psi Karcher electirc pressure washer?

[klumzypinoy]

Wow I want a foam cannon :D

[Black Diamond]

Amazing! Puts out more foam than my Foam Gun. Mind sharing where you bought it?

[paradog]

can you tell the rest of us the secret? Did you make this yourself?

[ehuth1]

Very nice write up !! I'm glad your liking the foam gun and process of elimnating bucket washing when the surface doesn't really need it.

Where did you order yours from?

[D]

Justin is selling them, I ordered one from him.

[HAN]

I thought the one Justin had was made for the 22mm ends, not compatitble with the karcher PW without an extension?

^^^ Thats correct. I was wondering where this karcher adapter one was coming from, but I read an old post and he ordered it from the UK. I've been on the lookout for the brass bayonet fittings, but no luck :(

I have Justin's foam gun :)

[justin_murphy]

I'm talking with a company now about that adapter!!!!

[orngez]

i guess because karcher pressure washers come from the UK they have a lot of stuff we dont...like brass adapters :) ......and they have cooler looking electric ones that we dont ...haha....just so you guys know just wait till justin gets his adapters made...i am sure it wont be too long...mine was 150 shipped from the UK...same price is to just buy justins foam cannon and buy the appropriate hose to convert your electric karcher to accept his gun....and just buy a 50ft hose and you kill two birds with one stone....any yes...it is super fun to use it...even my neighbors came by to take a look when they saw piles of foam pouring out of my garage....it should be a great thing to use in public for mobile detailers to attract attention...my karcher model is th 1750 psi one...and if you guys really want one NOW...just pm me and i will give you details...it only took about a week to get it in....and they send a sample of high foaming shampoo as well....and it was a big 16oz sample too....i am sure we will see AG carrying this very soon as well with multiple adapters available

I cant believe you did that in your garage! WOW like frosting on a cake
