I think that most people that watch your videos have changed out the orifice to the 1.1 and swapped out the factory hose to a Uberflex. Nowhere have I seen any information on the actual form making part of the foam gun - the mesh inside the gun. Seen a couple of sellers on amazon but thats it. Are they all the same in all guns? Maybe a short video on the maintenance of a foam gun - remove unused container foam - rinse inside of gun - storing unused foam? Always love your videos.

Sounds like you read the users manual

Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use kzread.infoUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.

I have only used the Mr Pink and it is fantastic. I can wash in bright sunshine and rinses clean with no streaks. Thanks for all you have contributed.

Most consistent detail topic youtuber covering so many things for us who want to get into the detail game from diy to pro. Great stuff man. Thank you sir!

It seems like you’re mostly concerned with foaming action, but curious about other properties like actual cleaning performance (correlated to foaming but may not always be most foam = most clean) , slickness/lubrication for mit wash, how well it handles direct sun, scent, conditioners (shine/polish), etc.

Huge fan of your videos Josh! always super thorough. I bought a heavy duty truck back in July. With winter right around the corner in Ohio I want to up my wash game to keep salts and brines from the road off my truck. Bought multiple of the products you've mentioned in your videos to get the job done. Thanks a million!

Jeremy over at the Hawaii Tesla Detailing channel did a very thorough foam cannon battle with about 15 to 20 different foam cannon soaps going head to head and had the same final result. Adams Mega Foam won every single battle he had and was the final winner by far. Adams Mega Foam is currently the king of the foam cannon soaps.

I would agree that Adam's is the winner as well. Thank's for taking the time to do all these videos! Not sure if you'll even need to contact wash that part of the truck 😄!

This helps so much, very appreciative

Thank you for actual relevant cost stats.

Had to go ahead and try Grape and Glow for underdogs sake. Best value and still top 4!

I honestly enjoyed adams more than any of the other soaps I've used and the shine it left on my car was amazing.

@seansean8008

@@kneegrow6293 it really depends on your foam canon, and the pressure washer you use. I have used several foam canons and the amount of water varied for each one. A simple test is to add water to your foam canon container and spray your car like you would if it had soap in it. When you figure out how many ounces it takes to get around the car, add the two ounces of soap to that amount of water and spray again. That should give you the most foam with zero waste at the end. Oh, and use warm or hot water in the container.

Another useful video. Quick question, what is the shorty wand you love, and also what/who makes your rinse off nozzle?

SDS Technicians Choice TEC472 Grape and Glow shows a PH 7.5 with a side note it could be +/- 0.5. So it tested in a range from 7.0 to 8.0.

Foam is pretty, which one cleans better? I really like your videos!

And this is why I ALWAYS go back to Adams Mega Foam... lol I knew this was going to win! :)

Was wondering if you compared soaps with waxes and soaps without waxes and how that may effect foam levels cleaning ability rinse etc? Unsure if that made the qualifications. If so perhaps a follow up video testing both types against one another from each company! IE grape glow is wash/wax vs megafoam is strictly a detergent. I just think comparing apples to oranges.

another great video. you have become my go to guy for reviews on detailing... What's your opinion on chemical guys Maxi-Sudds ?

Ordered some of the Adam’s foam. Hope it cleans as well as it foams. That would make an interesting follow up with your winners. What is efficacy of the product.

Already order mr pink 💗 Awsome video

Try out the Adam’s Car Shampoo and see how it compares to Mega Foam

Hi Josh. I am a new subscriber. All of your contact is very helpful. I just had my new car ceramic coated using Igl Kenzo. So, I was looking at their foam cannon soap called Blizzard. Wondering if you have ever done a review on this or have any input about it. Thanks.

id like to see a dedicated mjjc "does it foam?" test /review of different soaps budget and proprietary foam cannon soap... im talking dollar store budget. the cannon imo is the best budget option available

Adam's wins again as it does in just about every foam test video. But Mr. Pink is a great alternative.

I just bought the Sun Joe 2030psi pressure washer and got the Amazon Foam Cannon with Chemical Guys Honey Dew. I think it’s the honey dew that isn’t the greatest. I changed to a 1.1mm orifice and it did make it slightly thicker but not 100% happy. Assuming it’s the soap

Which one lubricated the surface the best and felt the most slick? As to not leave swirl marks when using a microfibre mitt to wipe down.

Xtreme Suds from Xtreme Solution. I will say you having DI water does help the soaps to foam better.

So im new to the detail business and watched all ur vids, they HELPED SO MUCH MAN. I really appreciate u making these videos, makes it easier on over thinkers like myself. I had a few particular questions! 1. What foam soap would be best for cars with a ceramic coat and which foam soap would be good for cars without ceramic coating? Same thing for a spray and shine formula for the exterior. Which would u recommend for a ceramic coated car and a non ceramic coated car? I feel like some clients just want their car washed real quick and others want the detail side, so i want to make sure i have the right stuff for both type of clients!! Thanks, and much love bother!!

Any PH Neutral soap will be fine and not damage the coating... However, if you want you can use a ceramic infused soap. It wont harm the coating and it will add al little boost. For the spray and shine i use this amzn.to/388E92L on all cars wether they are ceramic coated or not. It works amazing and adds another layer of hydrophobic properties!

Could you possibly try a soap product from the brand Ethos I believe and it's called "Foam Party". It was mentioned in the comments on the first or second video of the foam cannon series. I subscribed during this and am a complete noob to the whole foam cannon washing. I have to pay for my water usage in my town so trying to weigh if I want to go the whole pressure washer route or not. 🍻

IMJOSHV do you have a video on what brush you use after using a foam cannon? I would think you use some kind of hand mitt or something. Thanks for the awesome videos

Foaming is great but any idea which soap had the best lubrication? Also, you're using the foam as a pre-wash? After you rinse the foam off, how are you washing - are you foaming again and them using a mitt to agitate and a rinse bucket or back to the traditional 2 bucket method?

Can you test Meguiars gold class and see how well it does as a foam soap vs mega foam

Hey Josh how about trying the Turtle Wax Pure Wash Slick n Slide

you should try Superior Products Cherry Foam the gallon is usually less than $20 and they sell it at oriellys

Great video so here’s my situation, I have one of Amazon inexpensive ($20) foam cannon and I tried changing the 1.1 mm orifice too but still not getting thick foam. Using chemical guys mr. Pink soap. Orifice that came with cannon creates better foam than with 1.1 mm. But it’s still runny. Any recommendations? Other than return this and buy expensive ones?

Hi Josh i didnt see any notation or anything in the description of the video stating you found out if the technicians choice soap was pH nuetral. I happy to report that according to the material safety data sheet this is pH neutral. 7.5 pH with a +- of 0.5.

Question: Does it really matter how much foam a soap/cannon combo makes? I mean, as long as it’s sufficient and most importantly, works to clean the car, I can’t imagine ‘the most foam’ is any better than cleaning ability.

So many that review these products seem to put the emphasis on how much foam the product produces, shouldn’t it be on how well each product removes mud and dirt?

There is a company in Puerto Rico named UM Distributors they sell different brands and they also have their brand UM. They have good stuff, you need to try their car wash foam. They also have a product called Flushing. Nice product.

What about this vs Adam's Ultra Foam? That seems to be even better according to their website?

which one cleans the best as a prewash?

Just curious, how many ML of water are you doing for the 2 oz of product?

Good info. i’m looking at a foam gun and soap to use with my pressure washer. I have some Adam products already and still haven’t used them. will check out links. and any recommendations from anyone is helpful.

I have a Yamaha Powerstroke Gas PW, 3200PSI 2.4GPM, MTM2.2, hardwater readings around 195 and I can not get anywhere near the same foam output. Are you using ionized water? what are your hardwater readings?

The spec sheet on Amazon says that the MJJC Pro comes with a 1.25 orifice. Are you sure that it is a 1.1 orifice?

I have used mr. Pink a few times now. Cleans the car well, but leaves soap residue on the windows even rafter rinsing off. The Jury is still out for me.

How does it compare to turtle wax slick and slide

Hello sir, can u help me my pressure washer with time belt is older version, and i buy a water gun wth foam canon it is okay ?

So a series of what soap makes more foam? Not about which perform best, or which adds the most lubrication. A foam that sticks and stacks is not necessarily the best. Carpro Reset ftw hands down. I have mega foam but it's performance is not ideal under the wash mitt. 🤙

Great video series! But how about doing a test on which one strips off dirt better without using a pressure washing rinse. Maybe take a dirty panel and foam Cannon the soap on and see which one sheets off the most dirt.

Given that you're using the proper foam cannon, with the proper orifice and enough pressure, you will also end up with an impossibly thick foam as if you used something like Barbasol shaving cream, which rinses squeeky clean like nothing else when mixed up with their classic blue shampoo on the contact wash.
