Foam Cannon

[Will_Cog]

I have the Adam's foam cannon and I'm using it with mega foam. I fill the cannon almost full and always seem to run out of water in the cannon before I can finish foaming the car. I do have the nozzle set to the max for the most foam but is that normal? My car isn't big it's a 370Z.  Do other people experience the same thing?

Will I have used the foam cannon now for over a few years and on all different sizes of cars and I usually have 1/4 left after covering the car completely.  I then dump the remainder in my wash bucket.  I have several cars that have more surface than the Z.  Not sure why this is happening to you

Mine is an older Adam's foam cannon but I can completely foam my Silverado with a full bottle. How does the foam look while spraying? I have another Adams's cannon that I have to twist the knob to the left a little then back to the right to "activate" the foam. If I don't do this it is a very watery solution. This is why I got a second cannon.

@chops1sc The foam in nice and thick. I'm just using a electric pressure washer, maybe that's why? Thanks for answering.

I use an electric PW as well so I don't believe that is the issue. It almost sounds like the orifice is missing so it is just sucking everything out.

Maybe your foam is a bit too thick. Maybe adjust your dilution or your spray nozzles. 

They recommend like 2 drops in a full water foam cannon.

I use like 3/4 water and 1/8 mega foam. My nozzles is around half way soap/water. And my fan pattern is kinda tight, not a straight line but maybe a 20 degree fan arc. 

 

Works for my entire Tahoe sized vehicles.

Keep playing with it till you fine tune it to your liking. Filling the container with hot water will help thicken up the foam as well.
