You guys should demonstrate it on a really dirty car that hasnt been washed for at least 2 weeks so we can see if the foam is actually working .... Clean car and showing how the cannon works doesnt make any difference since the car is a bit clean.

I have a similar Q50 and it's hard to tell from a distance that it's dirty because the metal flake in the paint reflects a large amount of sunlight. Our cars are exposed to industrial run off, bird droppings, and road grime. My car gets so dirty that I have to wash almost every week, and apply waxes frequently. Stay tuned Katie, more great videos are on the way.

For your sealants and waxes like Blitz, Activate, Butter Wet Wax and Instawax and even your paint sealant like JetSeal can you apply it to the whole car and buff it off. If you can do you apply it to the whole car wait then buff it off or apply it then immediately buff it
@ChemicalGuys
7 жыл бұрын
Hi Harshvir, Yes, for each of these, you're going to want to allow cure and bonding time before you buff it off. For Blitz: allow 5 minutes to dry and haze, then you can buff off to a high gloss shine. For Activate: allow it to dry for 15 minutes before buffing it off. Instawax: Allow 5 minutes to dry to a haze before buffing it off with a towel. For BWW: there is no required curing or drying time, you can buff it off immediately. Thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!

You can use any Chemical Guys sealant if your goal is to just get through the winter with a coat of protection. I highly recommend JetSeal just for it's durability if you live in a place that experiences extreme weather conditions in the winter. If that is not an option then consider Extreme Top Coat Sealant with 3x Carnauba Wax. It is my go to product for all of my customers whose cars I detail, super durable, super slick, super glossy! - Griffin

Hi Harshvir, I completely agree with Griffin Lynch, Extreme Top is a great choice, or you can go with M seal, and Blitz. Just having a good combination of sealant and wax to protect the paint is good enough to keep the paint safe during the winter time especially with cold temperatures beating down on your car, and water forming all around the paint exterior.

Hi Michael, it's a waste of water, and the soap emulsifies the small dirt particles when it foams up.

If you want to take the extra step, by all means, we've been doing this for a long time and we get consistently good results. Stay tuned Michael for more great videos. C.G. Alex -

Do you put soap and water in? Just add soap leaving air at the top? How do the dilution ratios come into play? (I understand the dilution when using a bucket, not sure how that translates to an "unlimited" water supply.) If you put both soap and water in the cannon, do you shake it, too?

Hey Adam! Anywhere from 1200 to 3500 PSI will deliver great foam. Never exceed 4200 PSI.

Hi Jason! Using the two bucket method reduces the chances of bringing grime back to the vehicle where is can cause scratches. One bucket is full of clean water and soap whereas the second bucket is full of clean water for rinsing your wash mitt.

hey! I use a pressure washer from Karcher, and when I put the same amount of soap the cannon doesn't create as much foam as yours how can it be? pls halp
@ChemicalGuys

Hi Willy, As Nick states, you don't want to shake the bottle because that will create the foam inside the foam and rendering it difficult to have the foam come out of the nozzle. Also, using warm water will stimulate the soap to create that thick foam. Also, the GPM of your pressure washer is important and it needs to be strong enough to produce the foam. Check your Karcher to see if it has the required GPM or if it needs to be more powerful. Also, final tip, you may just need to add another ounce of soap or two; it never works the same for everyone and you have to experiment a bit until you find what works for you.

Elliot Ortiz It would not be good business for them to answer this question with a specific brand... I see a lot of people using the Sun Joe XPS series... I personally have a XPS 2000 that works very well... If I were to buy another one I would go with the XPS 3000, or if you have the money/living situation a gas powered washer... Be advised if you go with a XPS 2000 you will need an adapter to allow for the 1/4 quick connects, I found the adapter for cheap on amazon...

Isn’t the soap good enough to remove a lot of the dirt if it’s just left to dwell then ringed off? Then you could do a contact wash with a lot less dirt being gathered in the mitt.

Shhhhhh. You need to buy 2 buckets and 2 grit guards. Always. Why would you just use the pressure washer and foam cannon soap as lubrication to wash your car with the mitt when you can carry 2 10 gallon buckets of water to get less soap on the car?

Hi Nathan, I'd love to answer those questions for you. Here are some helpful tips: 1) Use warm water 2) Don't shake the soap up and down, spin the soap container instead. 3) Foam cannons have adjustable nozzles, use them. 4) Use 1-3 ounces of soap, fill the rest with water. Having the right kind of pressure helps, a 2.4 GPM is deal, however we've had success with the Sunjoe electric pressure washer. If you follow these tips, you should do fine.

I have a better tip on how to clean the foam cannon. clean out the soap like in the video, fill about 2/3rds with water and 1/3 with white vinegar and take it through the pressure washer. This will give you the right Ph blend to keep deposits off.
