Foam Cannon

All,

Does anyone know where I can get a Foam Cannon? I looked on autogeek.net but the prices seem a bit steep for an attachment to a pressure washer.

The Foam Guns are a bit cheaper, but not sure if they are as good. Does anyone have any opinions / advice?

I have a Active Electric 1450psi Pressure Washer

Cheers,

I'm 50/50 on whether or not I like the cannon. I have the cam spray version and have found that in addition to using a lot of product it's often difficult to remove all of the soap residue. I always follow the foaming with a hand wash and that helps to further break it down, but I have found situations where there's just too much soap on the car.

On the other hand it's great for getting soap into all of the little cracks and crevices (body seams, around lights, emblems, etc). As these areas rarely have welded-on dirt the foam does a very good job of lifting contaminates and carrying them away with the rinse. I've noticed that with the cannon the areas that are hard to touch with the mitt end up much cleaner.
