      Meguiar’s Megafoam Snow Cannon

      $119.99 RRP

      |
      KIT

      |
      MEGACANN

      High-performance Snow Cannon with insane foaming action
Snow foaming done right without the gimmicks
Anti-topple, 1-litre bottle with adjustable wide fan
Eliminates the possibility of washing swirl marks and scratches

      The Meguiar’s Megafoam Snow Cannon delivers extreme foaming action. The thicker, denser foam provides superior cling and greater dwell time for a deeper more thorough clean. Large, high-flow nozzle features adjustable spray pattern that maintains extra-thick, extra rich foam – even at extra-wide fan settings. Stable, anti-topple, 1-litre bottle sports a wide mouth for ease of filling. For best results, combine with a 1400 to 3200psi pressure washer and Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner, or Meguiar’s Shampoo Plus. Unlike many foaming products that are just expensive pre-washes that need to be followed by a completely different wash product – these high-sudsing, premium-quality car washes deliver the thorough clean, stunning gloss and vibrant colour that Meguiar’s is world famous for. They gently lift and whisk away road grime and contaminants, without inducing washing swirls or scratches – and without stripping your vital wax protection! Snow foaming the Meguiar’s way – without the gimmicks – is quicker, easier and safer. Ideal for cleaning: CAR – SUV – 4WD – TRUCK – MOTORBIKE – WATERCRAFT – CARAVAN – & MANY HOUSEHOLD USES

      DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Recommended Mix Ratio is 100ml wash to 900ml of water – however higher concentrations can be used if additional foam is desired. Connect to pressure washer and foam from the bottom up. For lightly dirty vehicles, allow product to dwell for 2-3 minutes then rinse and dry. For moderate to heavily dirty vehicles: rinse off any loose dirt and grime, foam entire car, then lather/agitate with Meguiar’s Lambswool Wash Mitt or Microfibre Wash Pad – rinsing in clean water as you go – before final rinse off and drying.

      WHAT YOU GET:

      Premium quality snow cannon with durable brass neck and large ergonomic adjustable foaming nozzle
Anti-topple, 1-litre dispenser bottle with accurate mixing marks
3 adapters to suit popular pressure washer brands (Karcher K Series, 1/4″ quick connect & Gerni/Stihl)

        • mearkat7 on 26/05/2024 - 09:22

          It really depends on your expectation. If you're expecting to spray this on, let it dwell and hose off to a clean car then you'll likely be disappointed. If you're doing this as a step before washing it to remove as much dirt as possible before coming in contact with the car then it's a pretty useful tool.

          The other part is the context matters, on a properly waxed/coated car you'll remove a ton more with a foam wash than you will on a car with no protection that doesn't get washed all that often.

          The foam product itself can also have a pretty big impact on the dwell time and how long it can actually sit on the surface and break down any grime/dirt/contaminants.

    • krisspy on 25/05/2024 - 23:30
      +1

      Think of it more as an applicator. It won't clean better than microfibres and 2 buckets if that's what you're thinking.

      People like to use harsh soap with these and just blast it off with the karcher for a 10min touch less.

      • [Deactivated] on 26/05/2024 - 18:22

        If you're not using edgeless microfibers then expect to scratch your clear coat.

        If you're even semi interested in this Meguiar's product then 99% chance your paintwork is already beyond repair…

    • sAmiZZle on 26/05/2024 - 11:54
      +2

      The whole point of snow foam is to use it as a preparatory step prior to contact cleaning. You spray on while car is dry, let it dwell to loosen dirt then wash it all off. It is proven to be more effective at removing the bulk of the dirt from the surface of the paint than just spraying with water alone. This will lessen the degree of paint swirls and scratches while contact cleaning in the next step if you clean your car regularly and don't allow a lot of dirt to build up and bond to the paint. It is more effective if you coat your car in a sealant or wax. But it is not intended to be used as a replacement for contact cleaning your vehicle.

  • cnut on 25/05/2024 - 20:55

    I probably just leave it too late, but these things never work like you expect.

    I need to use a sponge to actually get a good clean.

    More for maintenance or they work if you use them very regularly?

    • ddr0001 on 25/05/2024 - 21:03

      If you have a hydrophobic coating and your car isn't too dirty, works quite well. For me I use it to remove as much dirt as possible before using a sponge/mitt to reduce scratches and swirls.

      • whyisave on 26/05/2024 - 07:14
        +2

        Same.

        I use:
        - high-pressure water first, to give an all-round rinse
        - snow-cannon (from AliEx) all over the car, with Meguairs Gold-Class
        - let the suds sit on the car for about 10 minutes
        - high-pressure water to clean off all of the suds
        - 2 bucket method, with sponge to hand-wash entire car
        - high-pressure water to rinse off the car
        - let it dry and/or soak up excess water, with micro-fibre cloth
        - hand-polish with some kind of spray-on wax

        • usman436 on 26/05/2024 - 10:38

          I believe you meant hand-wax.

          • whyisave on 26/05/2024 - 16:34

            @usman436: No, not "hand-wax",
            but I should have said,
            spray-on liquid protection.

            Liquid spray.
            Micro-fibre cloth
            to apply and buff.

          Would you recommend the AliX cannon?

          • whyisave on 27/05/2024 - 00:40

            @Last Seen: I only got the AliEx cannon because it was cheaper at that time,
            and with coupons and cashbacks, it was about AU$ 20 - 25 (from memory).

            I just had to worry about the attachment for the cannon,
            which is the brass plug that connects to the high-pressure lance.

            (My brand/model was not listed and it was difficult to ascertain
            the right attachment, but I figured out at the end, which one was the right one )

            So far, the snow cannon from AliEx looks and works well.
            I had no experience before this first one,
            so I don't know what it's supposed to improve on.

                    @Last Seen: I didn't know my adapter measurements at first
                    (for a Michelin pressure washer),
                    but after checking product links such as this —> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003833020070.html
                    I compared the measurements of what I needed,
                    and found that some other specific brand also worked for mine.

                    So, check that link, and you'll find your Lavor adapter there too.

        I would. 15mm throw and 1000w power on the Meguiars is a good all rounder.

        Most of the cheapie DA polishers have either a short throw of around 9mm or an extreme throw of 21mm.

      • MS Paint on 25/05/2024 - 21:27

        I've got the previous gen to the meguiars polisher and it absolutely shits all over the SCA DA offerings that I still own (but never use).

        I use the meguiars 5" microfibre pads (dcm5??) and the results are awesome, quick and foolproof.

        • WasBargain on 25/05/2024 - 21:30

          The SCA DA post had some pretty good reviews, "for what you pay" anyway. I wouldn't mind paying double for a DA as long as I get some reliable results and maybe one that won't vibrate me enough to turn me off actually wanting to do it more often than I should. (Only con I remember from the post). Or maybe I just get the wife to use the cheaper DA.. 😅

          • MS Paint on 25/05/2024 - 21:37
            +1

            @WasBargain: The main difference is the vibration control and balance. The extra wattage makes the cutting process a bit quicker. Maybe 1 less pass to get the same results.

            I also use meguiars ultimate compound and ultimate polish. Easy peasy to use and more importantly wipe off. Smells good too.

            I use the microfibre cutting pad above for the compounding and a lake country finishing foam pad for the polish.

            • WasBargain on 25/05/2024 - 21:44

              @MS Paint: Thanks bro! I've heard Lake Country do good bits. I got some cheap SCA liquid polish as a practice product on a spare car I've had sitting around and needs to be sold/towed anyway.. 😅 Will keep your recommendation in mind when I try it on my own car.

            • ifreddo on 25/05/2024 - 21:59

              @MS Paint: How many pads does it take to do a whole car?

              • MS Paint on 25/05/2024 - 22:04

                @ifreddo: The meguiars microfibre come in a twin pack. I normally use one for the drivers side then wash and rinse. While that's drying I use the other for the passenger side then wash and rinse. The first one I then use for the roof and then the second for bonut bonnet and boot/hatch.

                I normally get about 4/5 cars done before they need replacing due to being shagged.

                Similar with the finishing foam pads.

                You could just use one pad for the whole car and blow it out of build up occasionally but not worth risking picking up a speck of dirt and swirling your whole car up.

                • ifreddo on 25/05/2024 - 22:07

                  @MS Paint: That's helpful thanks. I do all other car detailing myself, but I've never cut/polished my car. I'm not sure whether to go and buy the equipment myself or just pay someone to do it.

                  • MS Paint on 25/05/2024 - 22:10

                    @ifreddo: It's so easy it's laughable. Squillions of tutorials on YouTube as well with step by step instructions and techniques. I recommend ammo NYC and obsessed garage. With a da polisher it's almost impossible to f@#k it up.

                    It does take a long time thought to complete all the steps correctly. You need at least a full day or preferably a weekend.

            @WasBargain: Only downside of the Meguiars is that they don't provide any pads with it.

            I ended up getting some of the microfibre cutting and finishing pads with a softer backing disc through rip-co. Luckily they price matched the cheapest prices I found online but wouldn't match the machine at $229. They have it listed at $377.

            • WasBargain on 25/05/2024 - 21:44

    Having a 4x4 the most difficult cleaning job is cleaning under the vehicle after you have been out in the bush etc.

  • oneblackpaper on 26/05/2024 - 18:03

    Seeing a lot of comments snubbing foam cannons in favour of two bucket wash method. In an ideal world, for a proper wash, you need both.

    If you just use the foam cannon without contact washing, the car would still be dirty, even worse you’ll get water spots.

    If you use contact washing only (ie one or two bucket method), you’ll likely scratch the heck out of the clear coat, creating ‘spider webbing’ and swirls that is visible in certain lights.

    Imagine your car is splattered with mud. You won’t just jump in with contact washing, nor would you just blast water at it, that would be like dragging sandpaper across the car. This is why you want a foam cannon as a first step, to lift as much dirt as possible as an initial pass, before contact washing, to minimise scratching.

        Hey @neofelis,

        Am I better off buying the following MJJC product than something like Meguiar's Megafoam Snow Cannon or Bowden's Own Snow Blow Cannon?

        https://mjjc.com.au/products/mjjc-foam-cannon-s-v3-ozito-1-p…

        I have an Ozito pressure cleaner, and MJJC already includes the correct adapter in the above package, which is another plus in my book.
        Otherwise, I would have to purchase the LAVOR style adapter separately (if buying Meguiar's or Bowden's Own snow cannon).

        Our good friend - @RandomBob84 also highly praised the MJJC snow cannon.

        Lets talk price. MJJC is definitely pricier (even when on sale). MTM cannons are even more so, but they don't come with any adapters.

        I guess MJJC comes out ahead as the winner after all things considered.
        I have been keeping an eye on the price for the last few weeks.

        I am not in a rush to buy right now. Do they have a big sale around Black Friday?

          MJJC i prefer over MTM. Many people try to retroshift their pressure washers with Italian short guns and lances such as this:

          https://www.waxit.com.au/collections/short-gun-upgrades/prod…

          It's the most recent upgrade I did and it's a game changer!!! QC is definitely far superior but having all the nozzles makes cleaning so much more effective.

          I dont think you'll find much of a sale on the MJJC snow cannons but I've had mine for around 4 years now and it will probably last me another 4 years.

          At the end of the day, cleaning the car to a professional standard is still under $8 a wash with hundreds and hundreds of dollars worth of products. Places like magic hand car wash are now $89 per wash and we have two cars!

          Also for me its a trust/parts thing. I know i can get parts from MJJC if i drop my gun and something breaks. I like their new bottles as you can buy lids for them and store the left over car wash in them if you need to go through 2 bottles. Im sure the others will do a similar job to be honest, but MJJC was the first in this field, so to me that counts for something.

            💯

            I spoke to Calvin from MJJC when I couldn't find a part that I needed. He was super helpful.

              @DoctorCalculon: I had the total opposite situation. I needed a new m22 to 15mm adaptor and MJJC Australia didn't have it however I ordered through MJJC AliExpress and it got delivered. Alternatively Waxit sells them.

              The new snow cannons are m22 to 14mm.

              However my MJJC snow canon is a lot older than MJJC Australia as I imported from AliExpress back then they were only $30-$40 canons.

    For those who are pro foam cannon, any idea of this is a suitable deal for liquid.

      Was cheaper just the other day…..

        That's the price/deal when posting (I grabbed one anyways). The deal ended today, I probably should have referenced the deal price &/or linked the ozb thread, but kept in spirit of username
