I sometimes use a foam gun for the purpose you stated. Lubrication. If you wash your coated car weekly, or even every 2 weeks, a foam cannon should not be needed. The foam gun serves the same purpose, as neither gun or cannon will remove road film for the most part. Only hand washing will do that. Of course if you drive in mud or gravel roads, that's a different story. I use the foam gun on mine to remove loose stuff, rinse it, then foam it again and hand wash. But I am lazy, that beats dragging the pressure washer out of the shed at the tender age of 72

Another great video. I use a pump sprayer for wheels when I do them separately, but a foam cannon for pre-washes. I've had success with replacing the stock orifice with
a 1.1 mm Foam Cannon Orifice -- the smaller opening produces a thicker foam. Only a few US dollars from Amazon.
Thanks for the helpful video once again Pan. I never thought to rinse out my mtm foam cannon after foaming. Will do that from now on. One thing of interest to me would be the new cordless foam sprayers and foam cannons. It would be great if you can review one or 2 of those.
Thanks so much Pan for all of your great advice and expertise . You inspire me as well as so many others who are new to detailing

Hi Pan, great video. I use a Marolex pump sprayer just for the wheels, and Bilt Hamber Autofoam in an AutoGlym foam cannon. The Adams foam is thick, but the real test is how well it cleans. Also it looks like the Adams would take a lot of rinsing to clear the car…..and the driveway too! BH foam cleans brilliantly and doesn’t linger on the driveway either. If you have access to a pressure washer, can’t see a use for a foam gun.
I’ve had a foam gun for two years and love it. I don’t need a foam cannon since my cars are washed weekly and I don’t want to drag out the pressure washer every time I wash the car. I don’t get quite the foam as a cannon but I like the fact the foam I get flows off the car a little more quickly removing some particles that I may not have with the pre rinse. I also get more foam with my gun than you did with yours. I can also fill my gun and get 4 washes out of each fill.
What's the foam gun you're using?

Hey Pan! Always enjoy how you provide education to us. I am a team foam cannon member. I have an MTM PF22 and after 3 years of use, no issues. Great product and I am sure there are a great selection of cannons to buy. Great video. Till the next one.
Thanks Wayne!

@@PanTheOrganizer CZcams searching for how to properly wash my new car, because I didn’t like what the automated washes were doing to the paint and my wheels were never clean. I’ll never go back. 👍
then I got hooked on the paint correction vids and decided I could fix up my older Mini’s paint myself.
Cool thanks for the feedback!
Another excellent tutorial! I started off with a foam gun and graduated to foam cannon and pressure washer, it's also great to see the difference with a pump up foaming sprayer. Tks pan 🏆
😁👍🏻
Your videos are spot on. I was using me leaf blower this morning to dry my car at 0600 (another video). I guess next time I need to make a pitcher of Tequila Sunrise Rises for the neighbors. Holy cow, my neighbors wash their cars with brushes you would use to clean cattle and the dry them with an 18-inch squeaky.
Awesome demo Pan! Can't wait for the next upload👌🏻
Thanks! 👍
Another fantastic video by Pan! Now I know that this is a must have tool for the garage :)
Glad you liked it!
Great review. I can’t wait to try my new pressure washer and foam cannon. I’ve never used this kind of thing before. I’m a first timer with that kind of set up.
:)
Thanks for another great video Pan. As always, keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Always good videos man. Thx Pan 🤜
Thanks Eddy!
Informative video Pan, thanks. The Adam's car shampoo has become my go-to. Works well and always on the shelf at my local Canadian Tire store. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
i always get some inspirations from this channel, thanks Pan
Happy to hear that!
Pan thanks for the video. I am a weekend warrior. Currently using the foam gun. I ordered the your favorite pressure washer. Looking forward to using it with a foam cannon! I think I will use my foaming pump sprayer (Swiftjet) for the wheels and tires with P&S. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks Hayward!
I love my foam cannon. I use MJJC foam cannon pro and Chemical Guys Honeydew snowfoam auto wash. Love, love love them both. The foam is thick like shaving cream just as you demonstrated with Adams. Thank you for another informative video. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Lisa.
You're a damn mind-reader. Exactly the video I needed to see. Pan is the best!
Heheh thanks Pete!
Ive got a griotts gun I picked up at auto zone. I pair it with meguiars gold class. Good enough for my 2007 highlander

I always at first thought it was the same thing. But coming to your channel I learned they are not. I used both but it wasn't for cars at the time it was for cleaning dog cages at animal shelters & pet hotels. I personally like the cannon for cars.
Looking forward to a video of you and Matt Moreman at Destination OG. Two of my favorites!
That would be cool !!
Definitely, definitely I will stay with my Chemical Guys foam cannon, thank you Pan for another awesome video
Thanks Joe!
Bonjour Pan, merci pour ta vidéo, c'est un très bon comparatif ? J'aime beaucoup 👍
Merci Fred!
Thanks for clarifying...
My pleasure!
I would describe the foam from a pump foamer a "dryer" foam. It's not as uniform or thick, but it's a very very dry foam with less liquid.
Hey Pan, I appreciate all the videos and how detail oriented you are. Definitely helped me learn how to properly care for my car. I have the Adam’s foam cannon and don’t produce a thick foam like that though. I’ve used the amount of soap recommended on the bottle (Carpro reset and gtechniq citrus foam) and have even tried double the amount of soap. I have it set to max foam and use a green works pressure washer with the garden hose connected to it. Could it be just because of the type of water?

There are many factors that influence the quantity, thickness and richness of snow foam:
1. Type of foam cannon (smaller orifices lead to thicker foam, but can potentially trip your circuit breaker depending on your setup)
2. Type of pressure washer (a higher amount of GPM water output leads to more foam, so a pressure washer with 1.3 GPM will produce less foam than one that pumps out 2.1 GPM)
3. Type of snow foam (not all snow foams produce the same amount of foam)
4. Dilution ratio of snow foam (adjust the dilution according to your setup. Start with the recommendations on the label, and increase the amount as needed).
5. Water quality. The better the water, the more foam and suds you get. So deionized water will always produce more foam compared to hard tap water, for example.

I have very good luck with the Chemical Guys foam blaster which is used with a high quality garden hose fairly high water pressure in my area. I use Mr. Gold Chemical Guys soap and this combo seems to work as well as a pressure washer with chemicals. I'm cleaning a Porsche Taycan Turbo S and a 911 Turbo S. They are 2 and 5 years old, but we keep them looking quite new with this process plus the detailing aids Pan recommends.
Thanks for sharing Cliff.
Iol, it's as if you read my mind I was thinking what am I going to use tomorrow, the foam gun or the foam cannon😁 and here you are sharing ideas on them, so cool. I like the quick disconnect of the Adams foam gun, mine is a screw type but it performs very well I have to say and my foam connon is that Amazon type not too bad but I need to upgrade to a beter one, great video Pan.
Thanks! Glad it could be of help.
Thanks Pan. The other 'style' 'Foam Guns' work a bit better than the one you showed us here. My son and I use (when we don't use the Pressure Washer) what I will call the 'Gilmour Style' one with the black adjustment wheel on top. A little search and you will see knock offs and similar ones with just different brand stickers and or labeling. Nice Obsessed Garage Stainless Fittings on everything and good to go. We have had our for years now without issue.
Thank you for the info. I’m looking on Obsessed Garage and I don’t see it. Can you be more specific as to the name?

Thanks for another great video, Pan I have a question, I've recently switched to turtle wax to the max wax and the pure shampoo. The wax gives beautiful results, after a week the car was lightly dusty and I gave the first wash, hydrophobics was the best I've ever seen on my car, however after washing, when I rinse it seems those hydrophobics have deteriated or changed. It did the same with the ultimate line of meguiar's, I put it down to the shampoo was not a pure shampoo and had waxes in it.
Could this be normal? Or should hydrophobics last for the reasonable duration of a wax?
I prefer the Graphene Flex Wax in that range of products. It lasts a lot longer. But your question is hard to answer as I don't know what prep you did prior to applying your layer of Max Wax. The Turtle Wax Slick N Slide shampoo is a pure shampoo, it doesn't contain any protection in it. So it just cleans, which is what I prefer. I don't like protection infused shampoos as much.
literally just went back to using a MATCEE foam gun after my karcher died. does the job I'm the mean time while waiting for the active 2.0 PW to release!
Hi Pan, I use both. When children are around they love to use the foam canon with the pressure washer. For regular maintenance wash I like to use the foam gun since the car gets a nice layer of soap this way, sometimes I combine and dilute different types of soaps. Do they make a foam gun to be used on my air compressor if yes would the dilution portion change.
Yes there is a foam gun you can attach to your air compressor, here: amzn.to/3zlm3YH
Yo I can't help but laugh when you were doing the pump sprayer on the side panels😆😆 I have a hunch you were trolling on purpose because of how it looks lololol
LOL
Hi pan the foam cannon is definitely the best way to go do you happen to know what the orifice size was in the adams 1.25 or 1.1 I have a couple of cannons and use the 1.1 for a smaller pressure washer thanks 😊
They don't mention the orifice size on their website. But their premium foam cannon comes with a 1.25mm orifice. This one: amzn.to/3PPmXDT
@@PanTheOrganizer ok thanks pan it was getting pretty good foam I would probably go with the Mtm or the mjjc pro for my next purchase as I only have a smaller pressure washer my cheap foam cannons I have swapped out to the 1.1 orafice I’ll try some adams mega foam see if there is a difference
Hi Pan! A little off topic but are you a fan of using the foam as the clay lubricant? Of course, clay would be used with 2nd application of foam. Appreciate you! Thank you.
No, I prefer using a dedicated clay lubricant for that task.
I can't help but think that with some different nozzle and a possibility to adjust the air/water ratio the snowgun concept could achieve better result, what's your opinion on that Pan? BTW I always used distilled water in my snow canon, its supposed to make the foam a bit thicker
I use deionized water as well. Yes DI water always produces more foam and suds compared to hard tap water.
This video is great it’s actually saves lots of people money From buying that foam gun and I love the comparisons from all three Adam products. The foam cannon prove the shampoo works well and is the way to go. KITEL MÂCHE Pan 💥
Thanks Glenn!
Pan - not sure if I'm asking this right but, specifically for the pre-wash stage, how do you feel about a pre-soak with a rinseless wash type product using a pump-up sprayer rather than a car wash type product that you foam on?
A rinseless wash will be more for encapsulating loose dirt and adding lubrication before you pre-rinse the vehicle. A proper cleaning snow foam like Bilt Hamber Auto-Foam or CarPro Lift will actually start breaking down grime and traffic film, which a rinseless wash doesn't do.
something perhaps worth pointing out in the pro/con listings: cannon requires electric and water hook-ups, gun requires water-only hook up, and pump requires absolutely nothing but elbow grease. kind of a deciding factor for most- even you. you said you use cannon because you have the hook-ups (and machine). in other scenarios, pump is the only way to go. btw, I use a pump for wheel treatments; cannon for all else.
Thank you for another great video Pan. I upgraded to a PF22 and look forward to it. Next year i am moving to the country and it is well water would a system like CR Spotless be the best you figure? I am thinking in advance of everything i want, lol
Congrats on the MTM PF22.2. I have one too, and used it in this foam cannon battle video: czcams.com/video/wF5pDPE7vr0/video.html
And yes, having a water deionizer is the best for washing cars. More foam, more suds, no water spots. I made a video about my CR Spotless setup here: czcams.com/video/IKNL1chAQXY/video.html
@@PanTheOrganizer Merci beaucoup Pan, i look forward to my future washes :)

Hi Pan! Just wondering. When you use a foam gun can you just foam the car and wash with your MIT without the buckets or do you still use the buckets?
I always use buckets. The foam cannon is just a part of the pre-wash.
belle demonstration. pour le IK Pump, as tu vu la version IK Pump pro 2+ avec un tip pour pluguer un compresseur dessus au lieu de pomper? ca sauve pas mal de temps. tu plugues ta hose de compresseur, la pression se forme dans la bouteille et voilà, tu shoot plus besoin de pomper. passes une belle fin de semaine ;)

what a paaaaaaaaaaaaantastic video, i like all the ideas you provided today, appreciate it very much
My pleasure!
foam gun at home preferred. Cheap, ez, quick and reliable love it for maintenance washes….. and always use bead maker as a drying aid then top with dream maker 10/10 pan recommends 👍
Ok…. Seriously,….I legit lol’d at the part where you fast forwarded using the pump sprayer.😂 I think the missed opportunity here is that you didn’t use the Benny Hill theme song while you were doing it. 🤣
LOL!
Hi Pan - could you please help me out. I would like to know what is the best to maintain ceramic coating after washing, I don’t want to use c2v3 anymore with microfibre cloth. I’m after something that I can spray and wash off. I use geon wet coat for wheel and I’m happy with that!
Hi Steven. If you prefer spray on, rinse off maintenance products, here are my favourites:
bit.ly/3PoZSXv
bit.ly/3SUG7dy
bit.ly/3JXQvwN
All three can be used on all the exterior parts: paint, glass, wheels, plastics, headlights, tail lights, etc. They will typically last 2 to 4 months on average. So perfect for use as maintenance on an existing ceramic coating.
I currently use the Adams premium foam GUN, I just got into the hobby and personally do enjoy how the foam gun adds some nice lubrication and pre soap before actually cleaning the vehicle. Personally wish I would've invested the money though to get the foam cannon and just a decent electric pressure washer because I personally am looking for more of that thick coated substance on the car I'm cleaning. Do I know why i want all that extra foam other than it looks a hell of a lot cooler when i clean it? no.
Also, could you recommend the pressure washers you're talking about for 150-200?? perfect price range im looking to spend.
This one: amzn.to/3oLvwDP
So you can buy it as just the pressure washer, or you can get a full kit with upgraded wands, guns, foam cannon, etc here: bit.ly/3wqtnC2
Nice
Hi! What type of power strip is that on your workbench? Is it part of the bench set or aftermarket? I can’t find a safe power strip for the same type of setup.
It came with my work bench.
Hi Pan, how often do you use your water deioniser? All stages of the wash or just the final rinse? Just the final rinse and only when washing in the sun?
I don't have a system to switch from DI to regular water, so I always use DI.
Wow…. must cost you a fortune in resin!🙂
Hey good day Pan, runny foam from (FoamGun )vs clingy foam from( foam cannon) Which shows more cleaner results after dwelling for 5minutes using same soap? Without pressure washing.
I have both system but my pressure washer died. Not sure to get another pressure washer or just use my existing foam gun. Hope to get ur reply soon . Love ur channel
Foam cannon and pressure washer is always the best combination. Period.

Hey Pan. Can u do a video about what happens when u wet or wash a new applied ceramic coating and what to do to fix it.
I wouldn't do that, as that would mean coating and car and ruining the coating, polishing it off and redoing it. No customer would agree to such a test. And it's pointless in my opinion. Just don't expose the vehicle to water or rain for the first 24 hours. Period. Follow the instructions of the coating you are buying.
@@PanTheOrganizer I figured to perhaps do it on some sort of test panel. But I understand. Thanks
Waiting for the new Active 2.0 to come out before I start dabbling in foam cannons, already got my autoglym trial pack sitting in the basement lol. Also, Wouldn't happen to have a video for us folks with PPF over their entire car? or is that coming up? kinda do and don't is what I'm looking for. Thanks Pan.
I did a video for PPF here: czcams.com/video/7RCgqdGrvrA/video.html
Sir, what is the best psi or bar pressure washer you recommend for getting good foam from a foam Cannon ?
PSI isn't as important as water output (GPM). The higher the GPM the more foam you get. I set my pressure washer to 1100 psi when washing cars, but it pumps out a stout 2.1 GPM of water, which is more than most electric pressure washers on the market.
Anything between 1000 to 2000 psi is good for washing cars, and you want 1.3GPM or more of water output. But there are more factors than just the pressure washer for getting good foam. The type of foam cannon, type of snow foam, dilution ration of snow foam and water quality (hard water vs deionized water) are all factors that impact the quality and quantity of foam you get.
Hey, where are those detail guardz when you need them for the foam gun hose? 🤪
I need some advice on foam Cannon for Bosch Easy Aquatak 100 with a 360 degree nozzle. Will it be compatible with any Foam Cannon?
I don't know that pressure washer. You have to see if it has a standard 1/4 inch quick connect type connections.
Can you do a show on wether or not to purchase any coatings for the car dealerships. In the US car dealerships try to upscale DuPont coatings and other brands applied by the dealership. Just wondering if they are any good.
Never buy any protection the dealership offers. They offer cheap products at a high cost to maximize profits. Bring your car to a reputable professional detailer and have them apply a good ceramic coating, or do the work yourself. I have tons of easy to follow tutorials.
Foam cannon and pressure washer it is. Thanks Pan. Any thoughts if it’s worth investing in the new Active 2.0 pressure washer due out in a month?
I haven't tested that new Active 2.0 pressure washer. But I know the first gen was pretty good for the price, and seeing Matt's videos on version 2.0, it will be hard to beat for its pricepoint. Is it better than a Kranzle? Absolutely not, but the Kranzle is three times the price hehe.
But it's probably the best sub 500$ pressure washer on the market.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan. I trust your intuition and advice. I can hire a full time detailer for a couple of years with the price of the Kranzle power washer. The Greenworks Pro 2500 has a commercial pump that’s designed to last for 1,000 hrs. I think the sweet spot will be the Active 2.0 if you can keep it all under $425. Call me crazy but if I can get 5-7 years of very reliable use, it’s worth it IMO to have one
Good way of seeing things. Yeah bang for buck, the Active is near impossible to beat.
Then, for someone with an even smaller budget, this would be my pick: bit.ly/32aiQ1j
I'm curious how much of an effect garden hose water pressure has on foam gun foam thickness. My hose is hooked up to a hydrant that comes off the service going into my home (~150 psi) before the pressure is reduced inside my home. Will the higher pressure give a thicker foam. Are foam guns designed to handle 150 psi? Thanks! Jack
More than pressure, it's the water output (GPM) that generates the most foam. For example, on a pressure washer, you could have a unit pushing 2000 psi but only @ 1.3 GPM. You could have another pressure washer that pushes 1000 psi but at a much better 2.1 GPM water output. Well the second pressure washer will always generate richer, thicker foam.
@@PanTheOrganizer Ok, so translating that to the garden hose with a foam gun and assuming a 3/4"x100' foot hose, a water pressure of 60 psi = ~20gpm and @150psi = ~40gpm. From your description, the higher flow (at the higher pressure) would yield a richer, thicker foam. I'm sure the actual flow through the foam gun would be restrictive, but in principle am I understanding your reply correctly?
Nice video off topic question 🙋🏻♂️ how long does Meguires ceramic detailer last? Is it just for in between washes like a spray wax?
I haven't tested for the green bottle's real world durability. But what I hear from viewer feedback is 1 to 3 months on average, again depending on your conditions and maintenance.
@@PanTheOrganizer I appreciate it thanks.
👍🏻 Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on CZcams as we surpassed 790,000 subscribers and 100 million views! I have been detailing for 25 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.

Hey Pan how is your Kranzle K1122 holding up? I’m about to purchase one shortly.
I have been using the K1122TST for years now and it's still going like day 1. This is as high end as it gets for an electric pressure washer. Especially if you get the upgraded wand and gun like I have from OG. Link: bit.ly/3zjgbzi
Hey Pan, does GSM matter when using the 1-Bucket wash method? I'd like opinions from others who often use the 1-bucket wash method, if you all can elaborate a bit more. Thank you again for the great content
Yes you usually want a thicker GSM when doing the 1-bucket method with towels. Many guys like these towels: amzn.to/3oFGmeD
Great demonstration! I am a weekend warrior. I use a sun joe pressure washer and a Griots garage foam cannon. It works well. The pump sprayer was a CZcams first but looks like a lot of extra work! Time is money!
Thanks Chris!
MJJC V2 With Bilt Hamber Touchless and I sometimes add 100ml or 200ml of Bilt Hamber Surfex HD in the cannon also for an increased dirt and muck removal at the pre cleaning stage. When are you 2022 awards Pan? I'm looking forward to what you recommend this year! Will any of these products still wear the crown from last year of will there be any new comers to dethrone 2021 products?? 😁
The awards, like every year, should be towards the second half of August or beginning of September at the latest. :)
Sorry might be stupid question in the UK our hoses are different size is there a connection where I can use the foam gun to be used on our size pipes
You can buy which ever foam gun you want, and just buy a threaded adaptor in the UK like this: amzn.to/3vYnYlh
And you can buy this foam gun: amzn.to/3zUpUO2
Or you can buy a foam gun that already comes with the adapter: amzn.to/3oPLjBr
Where do you get the small mixing measuring cups? I have looked on Amazon, but I cannot find ones that are 2 oz.
I got it from AutoGeek over a decade ago, but it's not available anymore.
Would pumping the sprayer while spraying damage the sprayer at all?
No.
Got me a pressure washer and I didn't even bother washing my car with the "foam cannon" that came with it. Just waited for a professional one, even though I am not, let me tell you, there is a HUGE difference between a legit pressure washer/foam cannon set up and a little sud sprayer. Save your money, RYOBI makes a really good budget pressure washer, foam cannon would be a nice investment if you want to keep your car looking nice!
Hmm if u drill a hole in the pump sprayer and put a bulkhead fitting and qd, u can quick connect your shop air compressor and blast foam pretty well I'd imagine
Hi Pan. Which leaf blower are you using to dry cars?
This one: bit.ly/3zqh6xD
And I made a video comparing all my three blowers here: czcams.com/video/4up2Atg4ks0/video.html
Thanks for the video Pan!
I do not own a pressure washer, so I am using the Chemical Guys Foam Gun, combined with the 2 buckets method.
I was impressed by the IK Pro 2 (I am using that with P&S Break Buster for the wheels) and was considering trying it with car shampoo, but after watching your video, I will stick to the foam gun.
Can you do a video comparision of a complete car wash with shampoo? (1. Pressure Gun, 2. Foam gun, 3. IK Pro 2, 4. Two buckets method, 5. Rince-less wash) You could rank the different methods, add pro tips and mention pros & cons. Thank you!!
I already have my popular car wash tutorial here: czcams.com/video/7Koj5j2Es5U/video.html
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks!!
Foam cannon all day for foaming the car for me... Only time I use pump foamers is when I want to be precise and save some product, usually between the doors and fenders etc + when washing rims after a wheel change.
I still do not understand why they use metal threads with a plastic bottle, the Stihl I use is plastic on plastic with a big opening to not have a hassle with filling the bottle 🤔
How thick do you want the foam to be Pan? Still a little bit unsure but I would guess a slightly less concentrated than shaving foam?
That's just a question of personal preference really. Some people like thick foam, others prefer a more runny texture. Also, some snow foams produce thicker foam (like Adam's Mega Foam) and others product runnier foam (like Bilt Hamber).
Great video Pan! I use the Adams foam canon and really like it. I also have a pump foam sprayer that I use on my engine bay 🤠
Thanks Randy!
I guess I don't understand. I thought the whole point of snow foam is to stick better/longer therefore break down contamination better. But, you said the Adams Mega Foam is not meant to be a cleaning foam. So...what is it supposed to be used for?
Lubrication. See my videos about snow foams: czcams.com/video/6K07y26I7Z4/video.htmlsi=KgDQ7pRH8tQ0jBWv
Pan I love Porsches, owned one for 11 years, they drive like no other cars.
The Turbo is an awesome car, but my friend it's an automatic.😫
My advice, trade it in on a manual GT3 Touring edition.
I guarantee you more driving pleasure, with a 9,000 rpm redline. Intoxicating is an understatement.
SaveTheManuals.
Peace.
I like the sound of a GT3 but once you try the acceleration of a Turbo S, everything else seems so slow. And GT3 or GT3 RS are too track focused for me, not as comfortable for everyday use in my personal taste. Plus I love high quality audio and my Burmester sound system destroys the Bose (you can’t get the Burmester in GT3).
Also, as my Porsche is my daily driver, I need all wheel drive for our harsh Canadian winters. And the PDK is the best automatic on the planet.
So for all those reasons, I think you understand how my 911 Turbo S is the perfect pick for me and my needs. I absolutely love this car.
I am done driving manual cars. I understand those who like it, but I used to like it at 20 years old. Not for daily use at 42 hehe.
But is the GT3 a great car? Of course. It’s a Porsche. Even a Cayman or Macan are great vehicles.
Cheers!
@@PanTheOrganizer
No doubt Pan, I've test drove a Turbo S and the acceleration is so strong with launch control, it can give you a head rush.
By the way I pick up my new 2023 GR Corolla on Monday.
I want to ceramic coat it myself.
I will wash it, then chemical decontamination with Iron remover, then clay bar it, then polish and prep wipe and finally ceramic coat it.
What products would you recommend I use?
I have a Porter Cable da polisher.
What Foam pad? Which Polish?
Thanks.
Enjoy.
See how I do a new car prep in this video: czcams.com/video/t7HCBSVnizM/video.html
Hi Pan.....I use both.....chemical guys foam gun for when car has light dust on it.....foam cannon(adams) for when car is dirtier
Hey Pan! Would rain water be a good substitute for deionized water to wash cars?
No. Rain water has minerals in it, and depending on where you live, other contaminants. Nothing beats deionized or reverse-osmosis water to wash cars.
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks for your expertise Pan! Appreciate it
I like to snow foam because its fun
When are we getting a brand review for Griot's? I would love to see one!
If I get enough viewer requests for such a video, I'll look into it for sure!
Pan you are spot on. Keep it fun for us.
My water supply changed a few years ago from a well to water supplied by our township. Well water was very poor quality with minerals, and town water was much much better. Way better foam.
Thanks for cool video!
Thanks Kim! Yeah, the better the water quality, the more foam and suds you get for sure.
That gardenhose "foam gun" produces less foam than a wrung out sponge. That was pathetic.👎
Obviously, a foam cannon on a pressure washer is still the way to go.👍👍
Thanks, Pan. Good job.
Thanks!
11:32 Does the gun come with a (female) quick connect adapter to screw onto your hose so that you can connect it to the (make) quick connect fitting on the gun, or do you need to buy one?
It comes with everything you need to connect it to your garden hose. See what it comes with here: amzn.to/3NIcQlm
I use both. Foam cannon first then foam gun as my bucket wash w microfiber pads. No two bucket much faster w the gun as the contact wash.
What pressure washer psi do you recommend for starter?
