    Foam cannon soap ratio...

    Haven't used my foam cannon for a few years, got a new pressure washer and have ordered the new adaptor. I have some left over melon shampoo, but forgot exactly how to mix. Any input? BTW, gonna try some Car Pro quartz on.my daily driver to see if I like it

    It's usually a couple of ounces but honestly it's more user preference. The more you add the foamier it will be. Some might argue it's not necessary or very effective and others, myself included, think it helps some for some pre wash techniques and most of all.... It's just fun...

    With Gyeon Foam, 1:10 outta a PFM22 cannon and SunJoe SPX3001 works well, sometimes up to 1:15. Not the drier shaving cream foam, but a more aqueous foam that clings just long enough to meet recommended dwell time. Beneficial? I dunno but it's entertaining and easily done in short period of time.

    With hyperwash I use 2 oz to get a good foam without wasting too much product.

    Generally around 4-5 minutes max; sometimes a little less as foam sliding off coated surfaces determines it's time is up. Somewhat controllable by mixture knob on PF22, usually a touch under max foam.

    My next question is do you use the gun with a long wand or just the gun itself
