lots of videos on YouTube about it. Seems to work.
Washing With a Foam Cannon
I am buying an electric pressure washer and foam cannons are offered for washing car and then rinse with pressure washer on wide angle nozzle. Has anyone used one of these and do they really get the car clean?

I just got one from Amazon a few weeks ago. It's the Torq EQP323 Snow Foam Blaster R1 from Chemical Guys. It was cheap, around $30ish, and I just use the regular hose with it. It works more than fine w/o a pressure washer. I have a low psi pressure washer and I'll use it on my deck but not the car. The normal garden hose is good enough with the Blaster.I am buying an electric pressure washer and foam cannons are offered for washing car and then rinse with pressure washer on wide angle nozzle.

I use a gas honda pressure washer with foam cannons, sud soap, pressure washer nozzles and most of the essentials used in general detailing. It works real well, but I have bought really crap ones before and they can break pretty easily, the current one I have is really solid, its hit or miss with amazon sellers but overall id say its really good.I am buying an electric pressure washer and foam cannons are offered for washing car and then rinse with pressure washer on wide angle nozzle.

Foam cannons and pressure washers are great for cleaning cars but the will NOT replace hand washing with a microfiber wash mitt and two bucket system in between. The foam cannon loosens dirt on your car but the pressure washer alone will not remove all the dirt so hand washing is still required if you want to have a detailed car.
Using just the foam cannon and pressure washer will only get mud and crud off your car but not all the fine particles that need to be removed to make the car shine. Watch this car detailing porn here

Yeah most of the videos do show this. Foaming up the car is only step 1. You still need to wash it with a mit!Foam cannons and pressure washers are great for cleaning cars but the will NOT replace hand washing with a microfiber wash mitt and two bucket system in between.

I picked up a cheap Ryobi for ~$100 at the local home improvement store and then the Griot's foam canon (non Boss as I was under the impression it was better from some reviews on YT but I'm not sure that's true. The Boss is more money). It's been a great combo. The foam canon had an adapter for low flow (electric pressure washers) and Gas pressure washers. I haven't tried it with my father's gas pressure washer but I get great foam with it. It won't replace a two bucket wash; but, if it's not that dirty the foam and rinse works great for an in between wash; or, pre-wash.
I also setup a few water filters upstream of the pressure washer in the hopes it would remove water spots. It does lower the PPM some but it turns out the water in the greater Boston area is very clean ~80ppm out the tap. I do want to add a resin filter this year to get me closer to 0 ppm.
Cars with Keav's videos are good for getting an idea on if you'd like a product or not. He's done a review on just about every foam canon.
