Finally, foam cannon is working!

oneshare325 · 04-04-2008, 09:24 PM

So I finally found the attachment my pressure washer needed (1/4 inch to 3/8 inch connector), and gave my car a quick wash. I love this thing!!!

Just the wheels first...

And then just the body!!

and about 2 mins after being foamed!!!

Started at lowes...then went to home depot! FINALLY found it at a Tractor Supply http://www.tractorsupply.com/webapp/...me_10551_10001

(not sure if you have those on the west coast..

)

Biggest collection of pressure washers and accessories!!!

Does this make washing a car any easier? I'd assume you still need to give the car a rub down with a mit.

Oh yeah, I still wash it with a grout sponge!

Only helps with the process but think of like soaking a dirty pot in soapy water to help clean it!

Does this hook up to a hose or a pressure washer??

Pressure washer...

If you have a hose try this one..http://www.amazon.com/Gilmour-Foamas...7365456&sr=8-1

No where near the results of a foam cannon but pretty good!!

Looks awesome! I actually ordered the same one and now I'm even more excited to try it out, I'm getting it on Monday. What soap did you use and how much?

You should be excited!!

3oz of CG maxi sudsII, and 1oz of Megs Gold Glass. Then the rest of the container filled with water and then a good shake to mix!! Yes the foam cannon sucks up the soap but you really don't have to use alot of soap!!

328i · 04-05-2008, 01:07 AM

I just have gold class so I'll have to give that a try by itself until I pick up some CG.

J BONE · 04-05-2008, 09:17 AM

Oneshare that is awesome! I am so jealous!!

I was thinking about getting the Gilmour Foamaster but I am not sure anymore. WOW!

I don't think Gold glass really foams too well, I think it would work, but not as well as maxi suds.

Would this work on a electric pressure washer? I don't own a gas powered one like you.

MA335 · 04-05-2008, 02:29 PM

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. Do you have the link to the connector you needed? I have the same machine and would like to get it. Can't wait to try it.

I actually grabbed the wrong soap, I ended up getting AA wash and shine, maybe it will foam better. They used the same color and bottle as gold class, great marketing.

I think a lot of people use it with a electric pressure washer, no problem...

Armor all? I hope so, because Gold glass is a great shampoo, but not super suddy in a foam cannon/foam gun.

HAHA. Got mine a while ago and let me tell u, once you go cannon you never go back.

Yeah armor all

, but hey since it was super cheap I'll just make sure to use extra until I get some CG soaps.
