Foam cannon / foam in general
Probably gonna ruffle some feathers but I have never understood the infatuation with foam cannons & foam. I tried it a few times and have never seen the benifit or any difference from using it.
And here is the question I would like to see if i can get some responses to one way or the other---How many people can honestly say they see a significant difference when they use one?
And I could be wrong on this part but I dont see the established pro's using them. Dont recall ever seeing MP use them. How about the the pro's on here who regularly post and list all of their products & tooling-- I dont recall ever seeing a foam cannon or foaming listed.

It really matters what you put IN the foam cannon/gun

Precisely. If you want to use the foam cannon, or foam in general, as a prewash, you need to put something in the cannon/foamer that has sufficient bite to make a difference. Use with a product like Bilt Hamber AutoFoam, Bilt Hamber Touchless or Car Pro Lift, and you will see a difference. I only do that when needed. There are times when I will coat a car with foam for two reasons.....one is to provide additional lubrication, and two because it's fun.

It’s not the foam itself, but the lubrication a foam cannon or foam gun provides with its soapy solution. Use it in the way that I’ve been talking about and you will get great benefits
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Re: Foam cannon / foam in general
For what it's worth I remember at least one video with MP using a foam gun on a hose
That proves nothing either way

You are correct. As a matter of fact, there is a photo if him using a foam gun in this thread:

I guess your being funny calling him a hack- at least I hope
But since your gonna be getting with him for sure this week, just ask him percentage wise, roughly, how often he uses a foam cannon when he washes a car
Then post it in this thread
