Cool Let There Be FOAM!!!

BUY ONE HERE:

Service your Foam Cannon
CLICK ME

Here are my pictures I did

My car/victim:



Pure Eagle One Car Wash solution:

Foamed up (super bubbly for some reason, I didn't like how unsmooth the bubbles were. It was like my Gilmour on steroids):



2-4oz of Meguiars Hyperwash:


Filled up with warm water:

Outcome (very smooth/long dwelling time):


2-3oz of DP Xtreme Foam:


Filled up with warm water:

Outcome (super similar to Hyperwash but way more expensive. Also strips LSP very well at the current dilution. Will use again instead of straight Dawn to strip protection):

Pictures Continued...


4oz of Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash:

Filled up with warm water:

Outcome (foam was as strong as Hyperwash but dwell time was shorter):



Videos I made so far:


1/3 full of Eagle One Car Wash filled with warm water: <--CLICK ME

Outcome (much smoother than before, now it is a great soap to prefoam with):



2-4oz of DP Xtreme Foam <--CLICK ME

Outcome (super similar to Megs Hyperwash but strips LSP at current ratio):


Just for kicks I foamed up my driveway with Hyperwash to clean it. Its "snowing" in SoCal

Hyperwash was ~$30, DP Xtreme Foam was ~$18, Gold Class was ~$10 I think. Eagle One was the best at $1.33 each

Definitely. I thank you for giving me the heads up on that. I may clear out the Kragen that had them. Need any for your use? We can swap everything come meet time

When you use a foam gun, it usually takes more grime and dirt off so you dont have scrub and clean your car with the mitt as much.

PLZ correct me if im wrong Issac
