3PedalMINI Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 He's measuring in Canadian so it actually is only 2 oz of soap :lol: :lol::lol::jester: Its not too much foam. Next time I'll give the 2oz a try. Im not using adams shampoo either. I know that gives crazy foam, but im using another shampoo from another company. Like I said I'll try 2oz next time Ohh never mind then, use what you found with company x...i used some of megs bargain soap to wash my mom's yukon and i literly had to use 6 oz of soap to 14oz of water to get any type of "foam":willy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billyt Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Reason is Adam doesn't sell the foam cannon. He used to sell the foam gun but discontinued it because it wasn't made in the usa. Me, you and 3pedalMINI are the only ones that I know that use the cannonits good to buy from home but sometimes you just cant get it at home. it was so cold here before christmas that my snowfoam started to freeze on the car and it sticks like glue:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me, you and 3pedalMINI are the only ones that I know that use the cannon Yup!! i love my foam lance, I actually reconditioned our old trashman pressure washer that's dedicated to my foam cannon.:D Here is a pic of my foam, this was taken 5 minutes after i initially shot it:2thumbs: I have finally nailed my adams soap ratio down to perfection, 1:7 ratio = perfect foam:glasses: this shot was when i was first playing around with the soap dilutions.. BTW: adams shampoo blow's megs "hyperwash" out of the water (a soap designed specifically for foam cannons) And as far as i know most of the foam lance cannons are made in Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueGenCoupe Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I use the foam cannon, and yes Nick you need a pressure washer. I honestly can't wash the car without using the foam cannon. I love it. To answer your question yes we can get them here in the states/Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAYBEN Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I believe some here do have and use the foam cannon, but that requires a pressure washer right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
