    If I'm the kind of person that might clean their car every six weeks it's not really for me right? These are more for regular maintenance cleans?

    • apsilon on 13/09/2021 - 13:59

      Also good just for an initial no touch wash so when you follow up with a bucket wash you've already removed a lot of dirt and therefore reducing the risk of swirls etc. Depends on how much you care about the small details really.

      +11

      I have one of these, and I'm like you. To be honest I regret buying it.

      This foam cannon does not clean the car if you use it on its own - this is just a pre-wash. But I find pre-washing the car with a pressure washer to be just as effective, and gentle with the paint. Then do a regular hand wash with a microfibre rag and bucket of soapy water (bowden's orange car soap). Then rinse with pressure washer again.

      The foam cannon soap for this is expensive too - I use about 100ml per wash, so ends up being about $4 per wash. Which is no good since it only helps a bit, it's not the actual wash

      • bobloblawlawblog on 13/09/2021 - 14:22

        i wonder if this depends on what you are foaming it with? just thinking, i have never used one before

        • superveggies on 13/09/2021 - 14:30

          It's evident you haven't used one - there is a bowden's foam liquid which is designed to be used with this. That's what I use. You can go with something else but I see no point in making a big expense in the cannon if you're going to cheap out on the soap

          • sickburn on 13/09/2021 - 14:42
            +3

            @superveggies: You can use something like Meguiar's Gold Class which foams really well and can be used to wash the car like normal. No need for special foam liquid.

            • superveggies on 13/09/2021 - 14:50
              +4

              @sickburn: Yep - but what's the point?
              The foam cannon is meant to pre-wash to remove the coarse dirt which will scratch the paint if you rub it. You foam then pressure wash, without touching it.
              Only that pressure-washing only gives the same result.
              If you use this and rub, the dirt is still trapped in there so you end up making micro-scratches that damage the paint over time.
              If you don't care about that, you might as well go with bucket and rag wash straight up - use less soap, get same result

                @superveggies: I'm with you veggies. In my experience snow cannons are just a trendy YouTube car cleaning fad. It looks awesome being applied in 4K HDR slow motion and your uneducated neighbour probably thinks you must be a legend when they see your Camry all bubbly at once but at the end of the day they do sweet FA compared to a careful pressure washer pre rinse.

                +4

                @superveggies: This what I do:

                Use two buckets method for washing. One bucket has Gold Class, one has just water for rinsing mitt.
                Put Gold Class in foam bottle.
                Spray cleaner on rims if needed.
                With car dry, foam from bottom to top. The dry car increases dwell time of the foam and allows it time to loosen the dirt.
                Pressure wash from top to bottom getting rid of all the foam.
                Use two bucket method to wash car with lambswool mitt.
                Pressure wash again.
                Dry with big green sucker.

      • dcash on 13/09/2021 - 20:20

        I agree. Foam cannons in general are pretty useless. It's a lot of fannying about for an end result that pretty much equals just rinsing the car without the foam.

    • Techie4066 on 13/09/2021 - 15:43

      I wash two cars with the Meguiars cannon every so often. This cannon really helps, although I now use a more powerful electric Gerni washer which makes the difference. Unlike what the person says above, I rinse then apply the suds which drags all of the dirt down, and going over the car quickly by hand, using two buckets, removes it all before the final rinse. You're going to leave imperceptible surface scratches no matter what way you wash, and using a deep wash mitt like this helps trap the particles. It's a quick few steps of a cleaning process for light dirt, otherwise you could do another wash using the foaming soap or something like Nanolicious, or normal car wash soap, in the cannon.

      The cheap Repco foaming soap works really well, often better than the expensive alternatives.

        Yep, I use this Repco stuff, it came with my Repco snow cannon and does a reaaly good job, especially for the price compared to the big brand stuff.

          There's the Ryobi pressure washer from Bunnings which should work with the attachment.
          Alternatively there's the Mechpro deal from Repco which would work with their own in-house snow cannon attachment

          • DealHunter2 on 13/09/2021 - 21:05

            @bydl: I got the Mechpro deal click and collect few weeks back to replace a 5 year old Gerni that constantly pulsed as I assume the pressure pump had a slight leak. The Mechpro is actually very good and more feature than the Gerni has which costs 4x @ ~$400 Not sure if you can get adapters to use the bowdens cannon but it does come with one which I assume isn't as good but may do the job. Only used it so far to clean concrete before repainting and clean moss of walls and gutters and it did it easy.

    • Techie4066 on 13/09/2021 - 15:59

      I have a Gerni pressure washer and the Meguiars foam cannon, it allows for adjustment of flow rate, a finer jet of foam, and holds a lot more in the bottle. It can be a little hard to attach as I have to use an adapter, and you really have to shove it in there to twist and lock, but it works real well with a go-over by hand on the car.

      • greennick on 13/09/2021 - 17:22

      • dazler on 13/09/2021 - 20:31

        Hi Techie4066, can I please check where you got your Gerni adapter from and do you know if it can only be used on the Meguiars cannon? Cheers, Darren.

          +1

          Hey Darren, I appreciate your first comment! Luckily the Gerni adapter (under a different name on the box), among a couple others, come included in the box for the Meguiar's cannon. You just need to use that and one of the screw fittings that converts the hole to a larger diameter.

          Just be aware that it takes quite a bit of force to attach/remove the cannon to the end of the Gerni's spray gun, while keeping the adapters tightly screwed and locking them into the gun by twisting. I needed plumber's tape to stop leaks at the adapter's joints, but it all works perfectly once that's out of the way.

          • dazler on 13/09/2021 - 20:56

            @Techie4066: Ah okay, that makes sense. Thanks for coming back to me. Was thinking of getting cheap eBay one but if there's a bit involved with a brand name one I might be best to avoid a no name one. Thanks again.

    • [Deactivated] on 13/09/2021 - 16:09

      You’re looking for a snow gun then, which works with just a hose.

      Another alternative is a hand-pump version where you mix your solution up in a sealed container, pump it by hand and then spray your car. I don’t have experience with either but they seem to work ok on YouTube!

      Honestly, if I could go back in time these are what I would look into first, as it’s a hassle setting up the pressure washer.

        There are cheaper "clones" available but this one has been good for me. Used dial setting 3 with Meguiars carwash and it was decent foam for pre-wash. Pop the foamer attachment off the gun and it's a pretty decent trigger gun too with nice pressure stream.

    • Jonc on 14/09/2021 - 08:44

      Found this on the Bowdens blog:

      "On the topic of foaming, I need to make mention that we still don’t use any NTA; a cancer/eye damage linked foaming agent that is still popular in many imported snow foams. Likewise we don’t use wetting agents (as used in firefighting foams) to make the foam dwell and last longer, as the environmental impacts and toxicity for marine life is not worth having, as we love Australia and the things that live in our water ways - even the bad arse things like jelly fish, stone fish, sharks everything else than can maim or kill you. And, the best news is, we still don’t have any added salt, a favourite of big multinational companies as it’s the cheapest and easiest way to increase a wash formula’s foaming ability."

  • panadol520 on 14/09/2021 - 01:59

    No need foam cannon bull shit. To effectively wash your car with minimal scratches, I recommend using my method.

    You need: pressure washer, 1-2 mitten per paint panel, your favourite wash liquid, 2 bucket

    1. Pressure wash the car
    2. Fill one of your bucket with water + your wash liquid to correct ratio
    3. Wash each panel with 1 mitten (2 for large panel)
    4. Put dirty mitten into the empty bucket as you go
    5. Pressure Wash
    6. Dry your car with whatever you like.
    7. Put all used mitten in washing machine and done

    No Bull Shit Foam, No Bull Shit 2 Bucket rinse and wash with same mitten, Save you tons of time

    • gav23 on 14/09/2021 - 03:37
      +2

      No matter how clean each mit is, if there's dirt on the panel, you increase the risk of swirls. A pre wash with foam will get more dirt off than a simple rinse with a pressure washer alone.

      Your method will save you 10mins at most, but then you'll have 10 mits to wash.
