As some of you may know, I recently got a new foam cannon from Mike @ Auto Aesthetica. He calls it "AutoGlos Cannon"...... Well today I had a chance to use and compare these two cannon to see if there really is a difference, everything I used is as follows: PW: Karcher 5.85M Bottle: MTM Hydro's bottle because it provided measurements Injector/Aerator from the AutoGlos unit Injector/Aerator from the MTM Hydro unit Soap: Optimum soap Both were dispensing soap at the exact same setting: MAX! Dilution ratio: Filled to the 200ml mark with soap, filled it up to 800ml with water. Shaken thoroughly for the best mixture possible Here is the AutoGlos on an EvoX: The initial foaming process: After letting it dwell for a few minutes: This is after letting it dwell for a good 7 minutes or so: Here is the MTM Hydro on an EvoIX: During the initial foaming process: After letting it dwell for LESS THAN 1 MINUTE: MTM Hydro was so disappointing I refoamed the car with AutoGlos again: During foaming: I let it dwell for a few minutes: As you can see, the AutoGlos did much, much better than MTM Hydro. I'm so disappointed with my MTM Hydro I'm just going to sell it to a friend of mine. It's not even back up worthy to me, lol. Mike @ Auto Aesthetica is going to find a different bottle with measurements on it so I won't have to use the MTM Hydro bottle as it doesn't quite fit. From speaking to him earlier, he said he may do a group buy if there is enough interest in the cannon, so I guess we'll have to see how that turns out.
were the settings on the aerator the same? i guess the only way to make sure would be to put both aerators on the maximum setting or minimum setting that is the only variable i can see, since the p/w and the soap solution is the same. i guess from your tests, it is evident that the autoglos aerator produces a much thicker and clinging foam.
How much is Mike selling this Autoglos cannon I currently have a Mecline from pwmall.com for my PW, I too am running the 5.85 M.:thumb: I like it but if his is that good then I would like to give it a go.
It's $120 for the cannon. I paid slightly less because he had a sale on it. Believe me, it's worth every penny, I'm getting rid of my MTM Hydro asap lol. Soap I used was nothing special, just good old regular Optimum car wash soap.
Thats more than I was hoping to spend on one, I guess I will stick to my Mecline it provides me with this which I believe is good enough for me.
Yeah..... it is a pricey cannon, but like I said worth every penny. You're gonna remember this picture everytime you use your cannon :
Nice FOAM!!! Thats legit!!! I have the MTM and use only 2 oz for 32oz bottle. I notice you are using much more than me. What effect did that much soap have on the wax coat? Did it strip any off?
I had no clue I was using much more soap than normal until someone pointed it out to me over FB. If it stops raining soon I'm going to try the soaps I have laying around to see which one foams up the best (Meguiar's HW, OPT Soap, AG Soap). Did not notice deterioration with wax, it still sheets/beads water just fine as I was rinsing it off.
Didn't notice that a canon would make so much of a different. Do you have any experience with the HD Foam Lance from AB and how it compares to the Autoglos?
