Dialing in a foam cannon

Foam is a pre-wash. Its job is to soften and carry away loose grit before a mitt touches paint, not to look good on social media.

01

Pressure and flow

Cannons need pressure-washer flow to work properly. A hose-end foam gun produces thinner foam and needs a stronger dilution to compensate.

02

Dilution

Start at the label's recommended ratio and adjust. Thicker foam is not automatically better — cling time matters more than density.

03

Dwell in the shade

Let the foam dwell per the label, never in direct sun or on hot panels, then rinse top-down before the contact wash.

04

Maintenance

Flush the cannon with clean water after every use so the mesh filter and orifice do not clog.
