The traditional way of washing your car with a hose and nozzle has really given way to pressure washers and foam cannons in recent years. Even if you’re not that passionate about detailing or washing your car, owning both a pressure washer and foam cannon makes the job a lot easier and with better results. Foam cannons are fairly basic products, attaching to a pressure washer and blanketing your car with a nice, thick layer of foamy soap so you can get straight to washing. Instead of constantly dipping your hand mitt or sponge into a bucket full of soap, you can simply use your foam cannon to get your car ready to be wiped down.
Using a foam cannon also means using just the right amount of soap you need for the job, rather than wasting excess wash in a bucket. In addition, you don’t have to constantly put your hand mitt back into your bucket for more soap, which means less chance of dirt getting back onto your paint.
You may notice while shopping for a foam cannon that most of them are manufactured overseas, which means you’ll see a lot of similar products. In fact, most of them don’t have any real outstanding features to separate themselves from the competition. So how do you choose? You’ll want to keep a look out for brass connectors and a quality bottle, as the most common issue with foam cannons is the bottle breaking at the neck.
In this article, we’ve researched dozens of the most popular foam cannons, narrowing the list down to the 10 best, based on the quality of the product and its price. Again, most of these products will look the same and quite possibly may be the same, just under different branding.
