Auto Finesse Lather 2.5 oz - really just had the camera rolling when I was testing dilution ratios and foam lance settings. I imagine the foam can be better than showcased in this video

Thanks for the videos--it's nice to see the action of the different formulas.

You REALLY would benefit from an inline swivel for your pressure washer gun, though. It saves virtually all of the struggling with and tripping over the hose as seen above.

I don't want to watch again to see what ends you have on the end of your hose, but there's mainly three types. Since you're using the foam gun, I assume you have a 3/8" quick connect on there. A quick google search for "3/8 pressure washer swivel" will turn up a number of options for under $15. If you happen to have a 23mm gun end, the swivels are available there too. Northern Tool has a large variety to view, even if they aren't always the best to buy from.
 
I'm really glad you took the time to write this up Son1c. I'm getting a foam cannon very soon and I also have an extra bottle of Meg's 62 sitting on the shelf. Now, I know I'm going to keep that bottle aside for the Cannon.

Any great videos sir!

I'm not sure but as you said I would imagine it's a 3/8, but again thanks for the tip I'll look into it and hopefully videos will be sporting that!

my pleasure :D Thanks for viewing / commenting, I'm trying to get a small catalog of popular soaps using the average electric washer / 1.3 gpm to show realistic average results one would attain with a 100-200 dollar unit. Will be shooting honey dew & avalanche later this week. Haha my 62 has been sitting on the shelf for a year since I last used it, I personally do not care for the soap and hate the smell of it but it works well in the foam cannon, I've only used it at 5 oz (due to the one oz per gallon dilute ratio) but it is possible to work well with less soap -- take some pictures / videos when you use it :D

Thanks again :buffing:

Awesome Videos Drew, I have this same pressure washer.
But i just bought a Ryobi Gas Pressure washer recently to replace the GreenWorks.

But it is super handy and easy to store. And it LASTS FOREVER.
I have had mine for over a year, and cleaned my driveway for more than 3 times, for over 3 hours each usage.

thanks Ivan, why did you buy that to replace? Just wanting more power?

Agreed it's been awesome over the last several months and awesome for mobile detailing as it folds down. Happy to hear its held up great for you!

Did I make a mistake buying the foam gun and not the cannon? Essentially they both do the same thing but from the videos I watched looks like the foam from the cannon is thicker and stays on the vehicle longer.

In general, a foam gun is set up to work on garden hose pressure and flow (40-70 psi and 5-10 gpm typically). A foam cannon is designed to work with pressure washers (1000-3500 psi and 1-3 gpm typically).

If you don't have a pressure washer, then you made the right decision. If you have a pressure washer and can make a connection between the wand and the foam cannon, then arguably, you made the wrong decision.

My car has CQUK coating on it. I've used several snow foam products including some of the ones on this thread using an MTM hydro canon turned up full blast.

None of them...I repeat non of them will stay on the car and almost immediately sheet right off the coating.

Incredibly impressed by CQUK.

Thanks for sharing all these videos! How would you rank the soaps in order of personal preference? I've only used honeydew in my canon so far.
