Hi guys,
I just received my new AutoGeek foam cannon and have some questions before I use it. (There was no manual included with it for some reason).
1. What is the nozzle at the top of the cannon used for? Does it control the amount of soap that gets mixed in? I know that the adjustment at the tip is for the spray pattern.
2. I have the DP foam and I assume that I put about 2oz in there per 6 oz of water per the instructions for a foam gun, right? I'll probably need to experiment over time for the right amount.
3. I've seen some people online that just begin by foaming the car and some others first rinse it and then foam. Any best practice?
4. I assume that I will need to get a Y adapter at my hose nozzle and use both a pressure washer and a regular hose since there is no easy way with the cannon to switch between foam and water, right?
5. This is the tentative process that I came up with. I would appreciate any thoughts:
Do tires and wheels with 2BM (then refresh buckets)
Rinse and foam or just foam entire vehicle
Wait a few minutes and then rinse
Do 2BM method for car
Rinse
Final sheeting rinse
Dry
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Al
