Guaranteed everyone experiences the foam cannon upper portion of the clear adjuster knob and lower screw on clear cap cracking like all the other clear plastic upper/lower models on the market. Something about the clear plastic uppers formulation for parts that come in contact with the metal upper screw or lower fitting piece cause it to become brittle after repeated use. I've had 3 different versions i.e. Raincovo, Bear Force, and Power Town. Ended up frankensteining these specific upper parts from other cheap models that were not translucent and have no further issue. All of the ones I purchased function and work just as good as an $80+ foam cannon using an electric Active VE52 pressure washer.

@CarsWithKeav 5 ай бұрын

Fore sure these are not as durable. That's why I usually still pick the more expensive ones of high quality. If you were to add up all the cheap ones would it end up being the same as one that last a long time? I know many mobile detailers still using the same pf22.2 foam cannon form 5 years ago or the same MJJC Pro V2 from 3 years ago. I am going to try and gather all my foam cannons and do some drop testing on the bottles and caps to see what happens. I had a Tucool one I just did a review on and the nozzle shattered from being dropped from 6 feet and it wasn't clear. Thanks for the great info as well.

Bought! I have been using a couple of the generic cheap amazon cannons and while they work, they topple over easily, the narrow opening makes filling them a pain and there's really only one setting on them that can produce any meaningful amount of foam. Unrelated, how does that generic pressure washer compare to the Active? It's 1/3 the cost and I'm usually a "buy once - cry once" type of guy but my old big box store Greenworks GPW2001 is still kicking strong but it's huge and my garage is cramped.

@CarsWithKeav 9 ай бұрын

It’s not better than a Greenworks. The $99 Greenworks is actually very nice, but if looking for the best value out there it’s the Active VE52. Has comparable performance to the 2.0, but $100 less. For under $600 nothing compares to an Active. It’s night and day to me.

Keav, what's your favorite car foam soap, and what would you recommend as an afterwash for a car that has a ceramic coating put on already. I wanna try something new! Thank you!

@CarsWithKeav 9 ай бұрын

Incredible Suds is my favorite as a foam soap. Strong cleaning and foams with only an ounce needed in the foam cannon. After wash I assume you mean a drying aid or protectant. I use Quick Beads as it is water activated then it makes using my leaf blower way easier to dry off and leave a nice layer of graphene for water spot protection. If you are using a towel for a drying aid then Ceramic Gloss is what I use. These are all DIY Detail products and my current favorite brand. CARSWITHKEAV will save 10% on their website.

Just for stress on the pump with a pressure washer like that I would run 1.35 at the least. I know some run a 1.5 since it takes even more stress off the pump and helps life span.

It's a good foam cannon and a good price. I just don't see the purpose of buying the stainless steel over the brass, unless you just want to spend more money on the looks. Yes stainless steel should last longer then brass, but the fail point on this cannon will be the plastic, which will fail long before the brass.

@CarsWithKeav Ай бұрын

You are absolutely correct the brass is the better value. Some of us just want everything to match up and we can be OCD about it. If my quick connects are stainless then I would prefer the manifold be as well especially if its just going to cost me $12. Brass is just fine I mean the MJJC only does brass and they hold up very well and the MTM is nickel plated brass.

@CarsWithKeav 12 күн бұрын

Most foam cannons will tighten up a bit after use depending on the pressure washer, the fluid in the container and water temperature. I have had some I had to really work to get off. No specific one just sporadic so I would say it’s a normal thing for wide necks.

@CarsWithKeav 3 ай бұрын

Stainless steel is just a better quality material and great for anti-corrosion. There is no difference in performance it’s just looks and more expensive materials. If price is the main factor then I say get the brass one. Not too many people will ever use one long enough to see the benefits of stainless over brass. It’s just one of those nice things to have.

A lot of them are the same, but some are different. There are about 5 different types out there and they all use catalog parts from factories and put them together like legos. Most pick based on cost or looks. Others sometime just pick the right setup to produce the best foam. The more expensive ones like MtM and MJJC foam better than most of them. You got other things like the quick connect, straw, weighted ball, etc. that make things easier to use.
