Hey Azine Fam!

My birthday is coming up and I was thinking of getting myself a foam cannon to make washing the car more fun and a little easier (hopefully)


I've seen so many variations on Autogeek but most require a pressure washer. I am hoping to get one that attaches to a regular hose because bringing out the pressure washer all the time will be annoying.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a decent foam cannon that goes onto a garden hose? Also, would it be worth it to get one like that, or is it more worthwhile to go with the pressure washer version?

Try the Windex product you get for washing windows with your hose .. lets you see if the hose has enough pressure. I just found cannons were a pain as you need to wash in the shade and cool ot it dries on the car and spots.

I just make sure my car shampoo has enough bubbles/foam and wring out the MF cloth over hood, roof, and trunk.....self made manual bubble machine

True, i might give that a shot!

I just kinda liked the look of the whole foamy car, and this would make it easier to protect the new paint. I'm tired of buying new sponges and stuff al the time cause I'm picky about anything that touches my paint

Canadian tire sells one made for a garden hose. A pressure washer would be nice, but unnecessary because the foam lifts the dirt off, not the pressure. My 3600 psi gas washer can't properly wash my car without soap. I have been looking for a soap gun for a long time. Going to order one off amazon.

I have a microfiber wash mitt? hahaha


Its hard to keep something like that in good shape, so I away just replace a cheap microfiber sponge every few washes.

bought an autogeek one for nearly $60 that I don't use anymore. More of a novelty than helping speed the process along. Regular water pressure isn't going to create that much foam, even with chemical guys foaming products. You need a pressure washer for the full benefit of these foam cannons.

Otherwise stick to the 2 bucket method with grit guards

pressure washer foam cannon could be had for ~$20 bucks on amazon.
small price to pay IMO to try it out and see if you like it.

Yes, after having done a bit more research, it looks like a garden hose foam gun probably wouldnt even be worth it.


The pressure washer ones are really nice and look really cool, i'm just not sure I want to deal with the extra effort of having to pull out the pressure washer every time I want to wash my car.

I use this:

Chemical Guys - Foam Blaster 6 Foam Wash Gun

I only use it to loosen up dirt/wash away dust before I wash with 2 buckets.
