I've upgraded my foam cannon since making this video and now use an MJJC Foam Cannon Pro. I also purchased an aftermarket cannon for my Karcher to see how it compares to the one I've shown in this video.

I used to have a Karcher as well, it was rubbish in comparison, I've got Auto Glym & MJJC to be fair both are similarly good, however the Auto Glym seems to have a much easier to use Karcher adapter

Thank you, my brother got us one for xmas. I was wondering why it doesn't produce that much foam. This was very helpful 👍

These can be quite versatile. Try putting in more snow foam and turning the dial down. Or what I have done is put shampoo in them. Quite good for reducing swirls 🙂

Interesting Video I have started with the Karcher as it was only a tenner on Amazon. It does give a blanket of foam but it's not brilliant. One day I will upgrade.

It does the job definitely, it’s more important what snow foam is in it than the cannon itself I think!

Big difference in pricing from this to the MJJC products. If you're just interested in getting a decent wash, this is enough. if you're looking at professional results, spend more. I have *so* many other things to buy and a limited pot of gold, being a regular working person. Stay safe out there. 😊

I brought an aftermarket lance and water was leaking out from it and no foam came out because of it. Any way to fix this? I have a Karcher K2 compact

@AutoCareHQ 2 жыл бұрын

Try checking if all the connections are tight enough and if it’s leaking from the thread that connects the lance to the bayonet connector. There still should be foam coming out though even if water is leaking so maybe check the Lance filter if it has one and change it if it’s clogged

I used it once then now keep it as a backup if my other 2 amazon snow foam cannons fail with the 1.1mm orifice in one and a 1.4 in the other. It does the trick to a degree but would only use it in conjunction with my karcher fluid as a pre rinse to my higher quality soaps in the amazon foamers as the secondary for say a full blown detailing job where my OCD takes over LOL. Also if I may be bold, you are my dream misses! It is hard going finding young ladies who are into this hobby here in Australia.

Hi, is there an option to open and clean it?

@AutoCareHQ 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t think you can actually take the nozzle apart to clean it. Your best bet is probably just to try and blast clean water through it after every use. I’ve been using this foam cannon weekly for a couple of years now and never had any issues with it getting blocked as long as I just rinse it through afterwards :)

@AutoCareHQ 3 жыл бұрын

I honestly think it depends what snow foam you're using. Some snow foams just look cool but don't end up actually cleaning the car so they're pretty pointless. But others can actually do a great job at cleaning. I use Bilt Hamber Auto Foam and it's really good stuff. I've done a test using this snow foam on the channel if you want to see some before and after comparisons :)

Many so called pro detailers on You Tube will spray the foam on the car and immediately start washing with their mit. I’m glad you don’t do this. I have made comments about it and they get very defensive and argumentative. It’s beyond me why a so called pro detailer would start rubbing in that first layer of snow foam that has all the dirt suspended in the soap. Good job by not doing that.
