Foam Cannon Products

What product or products do you use with your foam cannon?

I'm looking at getting a PW and foam cannon within the next week or so. I'm looking to order some foam cannon products by mid week at least.

 

Maxi-suds, dp xtreme foam, dg901, citrus wash and gloss, honey dew. List goes on and on...

 

Chemical Guys Maxi-Suds and Citrus Wash and Gloss are both great.

 

So you mix products. Cool.

 

Basically most soap that has a high viscosity and is cheap makes for a good foamer.

CG CWG
CG CWC

as you notice from the replies above, CG has good soaps. =)

 

Poorboy's Super Slick & Suds, Lusso Auto Bathe, P21S Bodywork Conditioner, Meguiars Hyper-Wash(really good price ratio on this one) and ValetPRO Orange Pre-Wash, but I don't think the last one is available in the states, although it is good.Though I actually like the Orange Pre-Wash more through a pump sprayer; it'll release more dirt, flies and grime, still without stripping the protection.


Kind regards,

Ebbe

 

Besides the product listed above this post, consider trying out Meguiars Shampoo Plus. It is fairly inexpensive ($16 a gallon) but it foams up very well and clings to the paint. Another option is Megs Hyper Wash. Lusso Auto Bathe is very nice soap but I feel it is too expensive to be wasted in a foam cannon...
Hope this helps...

 

Dawn, Adams, optimum, CG citrus, Megs NXT, you name it...........

 

True story

 

What amount are you putting in the soap container. All soap or a ratio of soap and water?

 

Dear Josh & Friends

I use either Detailer's Pro Series Xtreme Foam Formula or Optimum Car Wash in an MTM Hydro one-liter foamer attached to my Cleanforce 1800HD (1800psi/1.6gpm) washer. I use two ounces of soap and fill the rest of the bottle with water. Both soaps work well, but Optimum is the clear winner. Both soaps make great foam.

Thanks Jaddie. I'm going to add some Optimum to my wish list.

 

atleast 1 oz, I don't measure LOL......... shampoo is cheap and plentiful and usually if im using my foam cannon its to strip a car im running OPT PC mixed with with Dawn & CG citrus, Its like making meth,no real science to it LOL.

i have a Autogeek Pressure Washer Foam Cannon HP Kit with the karcher k series attachment laying around... id be willing to let it go for cheap or trade for some stuff if youre are interested shoot me a message.

 

Lol I usually put 5-6 ounces of soap into my foam cannon bottle. As others have said, soap is inexpensive and I like my shaving cream consistency.

 

Thanks for all the replies. Now I have a general idea of what everybody uses. Now I'll place an order for some new products tomorrow.
