How to get MORE FOAM from your Foam Cannon | Car Detailing Tips and Tricks | Pressure Washing
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I get asked all the time how i get so much foam out of my foam cannon. Alot of people complain about it being too watery especially when they are using a lower Gallons Per Minut ELECTRIC pressure washer. Most foam cannons are rated for high GPM units, but this one little trick will make even the cheapest pressure washer and foam cannon spray thick foam!

I use hot water when I mix my soap in the canon. Not boiling, just hot from the kitchen sink. It really helps make thicker foam that stays on longer.

I wonder why that works. The water coming from the hose is pretty cold.

Soap is half oil. Hot water increases viscosity of oil

@@Mrkevi123 hot water would lower the viscosity. Think about warming up butter, butter is also oil but when you heat it up it liquifies and has movement. Higher viscosity means it has less ability to move/flow, just wanted to throw that out there for everyone. I'm not sure that's the reason why it creates more foam, just my two cents
I have watched so many detailing videos for the past 2 years because I love detailing and I have never ever seen a video like this that explains and shows how to get all that extra foam without having to buy a $100 gun. You gained a new SUBSCRIBER man great job 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Agree with you. Been trying to do this with much more expensive guns to no avail, but nice easy simple!
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.
HOLY CRAP, just followed the 2 big tips ... the brass fitting and water to soap ratio and LIFE CHANGING just WOW, it took me longer to set up everything than it did to do a wash and granted no detailing but i'm washing a Tundra CrewMax with a Smart Cap, THANK YOU !!!!
The one thing every foam cannon reviewer on KZread has been leaving out! This was so helpful bro, I appreciate it.
Thanks for the great tip! This is a game changer for me. I have the same cheap foam cannon and chemical guys soap. Usually the foam runs off so fast, I’m rushing with my detail brush. Just ordered the orifice and can’t wait to change it out.
You are the only person who has ever talked about this. There might be others out there I personally have never seen a video like this before yours. I have seen people who complained about the foam coming out. They try to make adjustments and even changing their soap. After seeing many of those types of videos I wasn't sure if I would have the same result so I just decided to pass on it. After seeing this I'm most definitely going to buy one. Thanks for the useful information. I always make sure to leave a big old thumbs up when I watch your videos. And I have already been a subscriber just never saw this video. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
Thank you, Josh. This tutorial improved my car detailing. I finally got shaving cream foam from a very cheap Amazon foam canon. I changed the orifice, got good foam and my regular power wash (Costco Spyder - 2000 psi, 1.2gpm). I added a short gun and that is it. The result is amazing. I wish I could upload videos here.
I never new about changing out orifice dimensions and quick connects, uberflex hose, snub nose stubby pressure washer gun. I always used the stock crap in the box, i totally trick myy pressure washer tfff out now, appreciated my dude, salute
Awesome video. Everything else suggests getting a better cannon, or adding a ton more soap to the reservoir (wasting products and $$). I didn't realize it could be this simple of a solution. Thanks a million!
I’ve always wondered how to create that much foam in car washing but with this video, everything is clear now. Thanks for the info man.
Just subscribed. I am a non-professional detailed of my own cars. It’s refreshing to see someone use equipment that doesn’t cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to get excellent results. Thank you!!!

Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Haven’t tried it yet but I changed out the orifice first before even trying the cannon!
Great video Josh, thanks. I went and bought a set of the smaller bore 'orifice'. Great! I went to get the ptfe tape that came with my cannon only to find that there was one in the small seal bag that it came in. No biggie, just a note to the wise, check your own supply before you buy...lol
i know this is a late post but, just been trying to watch a lot of videos since you explain a lot of important things. ill be investing in a Ryobi PW and because of this, its making me more and more excited to get a PW of my own since my main method of washing was rinseless/hoseless washes so thank you for all that you do!
I purchased the foam Canon pro and the 1.1 tip after watching this video. A 1.25 AND 1.1 tips was included with the foam Canon pro. I did not need to purchase the tip separately. Heads up for others. Great video, very helpful.
Thank you so much! This combined with the hot water trick from the comments gave me extremely thick foam! Now to make the supply last longer....
and from the girls in the back.... I never thought I'd be interested in something like this, but you have taught me SO much! My husband passed away, and it's just so nice to learn this kind of thing so that I can do things without calling 1 800-handyman! You gained a female subscriber that can't wait for your next how-to- video! Thank you!
Nice tip.. I lost count how many of your videos I’ve watched in the past 8 days or so. Tons of great info
Bought the Amazon one, surprised how well it worked w/my Chem Guys soap. Just ordered the replacement orifice, great tip - very good video!!!

I would be careful with Chem Guys soaps because while their descriptions say it doesn't strip wax, reading the comments will give you the exact opposite impression.
Great tip, I use the Karcher foam kit which is good, there is a more foam dispersion when top up with warm water but not as much as you demonstrate in your video, thanks for sharing.
Crazy how i just figured this out and ordered the 1.1 orifices and then boom this video! great advice bro thanks for sharing

Just bought a cheap foam gun off Amazon and I’m going to try this. Thanks.
You're a legend for this lol. I have the same cannon and I hated the watery foam!
I got the ryobi 40 volt hp whisper series 1500 psi 1.2 gpm I’m impressed with the pressure washer for being battery power with boost mode on it foams really good as well have lots Of Batteries so runtime is no issue
Get to wash my car again next week. Can't believe im this exited to wash my car 🤣 these foam cannons are awesome.
Yes, that's exactly what happened to me when I started detailing as a side job 6 years ago. When it happened to me I was lucky that my friend from California, who has a detailing shop, helped me with my trouble. Great you have set this video for everyone to learn. Xoxo from Puerto Rico ✌👍🇵🇷

Thank you. This is what I was looking for. Easy fix. Thanks again.
Thank you man, appreciate the advice and education. Keep up the good work 👍
Great video, it would be even better if no changes were made to the foam cannon knobs after the orifice swap, especially since the top knob controls how much water comes through the nozzle. Shoot foam with stock cannon, change insert, shoot foam again. See results, no setting changes.
That's really clever, great to the point advice 10 out of 10
Thanks, that was a good and clear demo, I might even use it to spray my Christmas tree next Xmas!😎

How could you dislike this? The video was straight to the point & perfectly illustrated the difference a quick mod can make to your foam quality if you're using a pressure washer with low GPM. Can't make everyone happy I suppose 🙄 On a side note, that Ryobi sounds exactly like a Karcher. I wonder if the motors are the same 🤔 Subscribed!

Thank you for this video. I have a foam cannon from Lowe’s. I switched out the nozzle to a 1.1 I put foam soap in the entire bottle, no water. I adjusted the valve to where it’s the least amount of water. I still have too much water. The foam is like your first demo before switching out the nozzle. Still the foam is too runny. Thanks for your help

It helps if you replace the foam lance filters in the front of the snow foam cannon they are under the plastic spray adjuster, they get clogged up slowing the flow. Amazon sell the kits with the upgraded replacement jets nice and cheap.
