YOU have made it with your quality content and honesty, so thank YOU! I typically only buy what you review with some new things here and there, but your reviews have been on point for years. Explanations of whys and hows and don'ts. I said a lot lol, but appreciate your content.
I appreciate that! And thanks for the trust you place in my opinion. Of course my videos highlight the stuff I like and it might not work for everyone, but hopefully my videos help people make better purchasing decisions all while providing important information and the ability to share my passion.
Happy new year!!
I've been using the BOSS cannon since it's release. No issues. I also use a deionizer. Mine is an On-The-Go dual bed. Also works perfectly. Thanks for all your reviews.
I just bought the MJCC V2 because of your review and it’s my 4th from different manufacturers. I use the Adam’s 2.0 washer @ 1.8gpm and 2500psi. It’s far and away the best foam cannon I’ve used. Thank you for your unbiased reviews.
That's also a very good foam cannon!! Enjoy it.
Congratulations, Pan! Very useful information, as usual!
Thanks Ronaldo!
A nice feature on the boss cannon is you can screw any griot's standard spray bottles into the spray head without using the reservoir and the gun is designed to mix the solution ratio right out of the attached solution bottle. Works great . Glad to see you reviewing Griot's products. Great job!!
Thanks James! Yes I even tested screwing the foam cannon onto a bottle of Koch Chemie Gsf and that works too!
Yes I have both cannons from Griot’s. Excellent products.the 3 in 1. Ceramic spray is awesome too
Cool! Which is your favourite of the two Griot's foam cannons?
As a DIYer I always appreciate the options you share on your channel, thanks Pan 👍😁
Glad you like them! What foam cannon are you currently using?
@@PanTheOrganizer the mjjc and yes at 60 years old I’m like a little kid playing with the foam lol, have a great day my friend
Hehe I totally get that! I'm 42 and still feel like a teenager when detailing, I enjoy it so much. It's a soothing and relaxing experience for me.
Dear Pan I respect you a lot for all your honesty and brilliant reviews. I too own 911 and used all your techniques and recommendations. It’s looks amazing. Thank you much.
I own GG brilliant finish foam cannon - regarding this video, in my humble opinion, MTM has the best output ( it leaves even /uniform wet surface behind).
Cheers.
Thanks! All three foam cannons in this video are excellent, no doubt about it. People can pick which features or price point they prefer.
I've used the Boss Foam Cannon for several years now and its best feature is the metering system and hooking directly to their Surface Wash bottles. No mixing or not making too much or too little soap when washing the car. You should try it. Love the video and all your reviews. Thanks
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I too have both MJCC and GRIOTS BOSS cannon and both do fine. Key with Griots is the ability to mount directly on a bottle is key to my use. But the best is having their customer satisfaction and product warranty, I have the pleasure of knowing they do stand on the word.
Good points!! Which specific MJJC foam cannon do you have?
Great video. I have the MTM and it is awesome. I just switched to koche Chemie GSF. Game changer!
Thank you for everything!
Thanks!
My first splurge for my shop. I love it. No issues at all and performs flawlessly every day. I don't use the auto metering insert on mine, didn't care for it. Love the stainless internals and I've dropped it numerous times to no effect. I was so smitten with it I bought all their soaps and a G8 and G9 DA. The stripping shampoo has an unpleasant aroma but all of them foam and work well. The DAs are far more powerful than the Porter Cable 7424xp. I'm looking at a cordless(likely DeWalt since I'm the battery line) rotary as I'm finding I need more power for some tasks and I cut my teeth on rotaries when I started back in the 90s. I had a big old Milwaukee that was built like a Sherman tank and was about as heavy. :) Have a blessed day.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing your personal experience with it. It's always valuable information for viewers who want to see how people like a product or not.
I also really like the Adams premium foam cannon. It’s got a wide mouth too and it’s a really well-made unit.
Thanks, Pan. 👍
Thanks for watching
I first bought the MTM 2.0 then tried the Brilliant Finish and found it to be fantastic. One note the metal ball will rust in the canister if you leave any type of water in it. So I normally start with my pre rinse with the MTM and then use the Brilliant Finish for laying down the nice thick coat of foam for the contact wash. 👍✌️☮️
With all my foam cannons, I like emptying the container after use, then filling the container with clean warm water, running it through the foam cannon head with the pressure washer, which helps to better dissolve and flush out any chemical residue that might still be in there. And then I let the parts air dry overnight.
I also use deionized water in my pressure washer setup, which helps.
The Griots foam cannon looks like it will perform at a high level for a long time. Nothing is more frustrating than a foam cannon making weak foam after it use to be awesome. The lifetime warranty is the best warranty available. Thank you for the video Pan.
Yeah it seems built like a tank, with internals to match the overall high quality design.
What foam cannon are you currently using Neil?
@@PanTheOrganizer Pan I am still using my MTM as it still works very well. The plastic container does twist when I tighten the lid and having to use a funnel is a pain too. Otherwise it just works and I love the foam it produces.
I have my mjjc V2 connect it to my active 2.0 and it is super effective
Hi Pan, great video and review as always!
Glad you enjoyed it! What's your current foam cannon?
@@PanTheOrganizer MTM Hydro and MJJC Pro. Both are great, the larger mouth for filling is preferred.
Yeah I also prefer wider openings.
I bought the GG Brilliant Finish FC back in January 2021. I probably have 75-100 hours on it with zero issues ever. It’s still exactly how it came out of the box when brand new.
Good to know! I also have zero issues with my Brilliant Finish foam cannon. Thanks for sharing!
All three are good. I think the boss is the best though for sure. I have the MJJC foam canon pro V2.
I had a cheap foam cannon from Amazon & couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting a nice thick foam. I thought it may have been the soap?
After seeing a few of your videos I decided to give the Boss Griot’s Garage a try & it’s like night & day! Love it!
Sometimes even cheaper foam cannons can still deliver good foam. There are many factors that influence the quantity, thickness and richness of snow foam:
1. Type of foam cannon (smaller orifices lead to thicker foam, but can potentially trip your circuit breaker depending on your setup)
2. Type of pressure washer (a higher amount of GPM water output leads to more foam, so a pressure washer with 1.3 GPM will produce less foam than one that pumps out 2.1 GPM)
3. Type of snow foam (not all snow foams produce the same amount of foam)
4. Dilution ratio of snow foam (adjust the dilution according to your setup. Start with the recommendations on the label, and increase the amount as needed).
5. Water quality. The better the water, the more foam and suds you get. So deionized water will always produce more foam compared to hard tap water, for example.
Thank you Pan for another incredible video. Just ordered using your link 😊
I went w/the Griots Brilliant. If it works well, great!

@@PanTheOrganizer Update! I washed my ruck with this yesterday and was amazed at the foam. Thanx again!!
Looks like a pretty good foam cannon! Love made in the US! Lots of features for price. Looks to me like Boss wins, but u can’t go wrong. I do like a wide opening, but I also like to adjust direction like the Mtm or the MJJC. Good to know there’s another great option! Feel better sounds like u may have a little cold!
Yeah I was a little under the weather here. Even that doesn't stop me from making videos for you guys hehe. Thanks for watching!
Nice info.
Thanks!
With my limited usage I honestly have not been a huge fan of the PF22.2 foam cannon. I feel sometimes it is still susceptible to tipping over and I could never get any consistency but this video may have highlighted a few mistakes. I believe going forward I will most likely fall in love with the BOSS cannon! I am actually surprised you did not mention the screw on bottle feature. If I gathered your recommendations correctly I'd be using roughly 2.5 ounces of soap to 25 ounces of water according to how much liquid I visually saw in your Griot's cannon.
Im sticking with my MJJC, still cant be beat.
Which one do you have?
Sticking with my MJJC. Options are great for all though
Yes they make very good foam cannons too. I have done videos about some of them, including the newest S v3.0
I would also add to ensure you have a large gauge extension cord for power supply. My Active 2.0 kept shutting off despite plenty of amperage. It turned out my extension cord from Crappy Tire was the culprit.
Yes it's important to get extension cords in the gauge that matches the pressure washer's electrical requirements.
Ah yes, another episode of my favorite detailing channel
Looks like it is right on the griots garage web site, and in stock. Also , “the clean garage” has it. I buy a lot from them, and they are in PA.
I just recently upgraded my old mtm to the larger bottle myself.
I do like the idea of the ball on the siphon though.
Thanks Aldus!
I have McGuire's mega cannon it has the feature of horizontal and vertical spray and it has good foaming capabilities
Great video Pan. I have the Boss and my first one leaked and they replaced it no questions asked. I did have pay for return shipping though. One note. The Boss also has a horizontal and vertical fan like the MTM.
Thanks for sharing! Good to know the customer service is as good as people say.
My tip that I use to keep my foam cannons clean is that I have extra bottles for each type and only keep fresh clean water in them so all I have to do is remove the unit from the bottle with the soap and screw it on the bottle with the water and run it. That way i also save whatever product is still in the bottle.
Griot's is local to me so I am very happy you are checking out their stuff!!
Oh cool! Which state is this in?
@@PanTheOrganizer Washington State they are in Tacoma Washington. Their store is awesome!
Good to know!!
Hi Pan, love your channel
Have you tried testing thick foam vs runny foam effectiveness on removing dirt!?
The BOSS cannon is a BEAST. To use the regulator tips, you have to use Griot's chemicals. This is the one you want if you're a pro because of it's hefty construction and mostly SS build. However, if you're an enthusiast, this is more than likely overkill. The Brilliant Shine cannon may have better results depending on your setup.

My GG Boss has vertical and horizontal spray that can be changed by rotating the nozzle past the wide open setting.
I found you through podcast. great content.
Which podcast?
I still love my original MJJC foam cannon. No peoblems and a good value for three years.
Yes they make good foam cannons. Especially their newest MJJC S v3.0 and Foam Pro v 2.0
Ver.2
I have the MJJC Pro as well. Still get great foam output from the little Ryobi 1800psi 1.2gpm brick unit - honestly the best value pressure washer for $99… you can own basically own a 2nd as a backup and never have to worry about a pressure washer issue out on the job.
How many oz of soap are you all using for the mjjc?
@@lmSteveo I use like 1:7 ratio or 100ml soap and 700ml water. I’ve heard some use 1:5 ratio but that seems like way too much soap
Thanks Pan. Griot’s garage BOSS is the best foam cannon in my mind. Quality built for sure. This baby should last for years. Enjoy your evening.
Thanks Jim! Is that the foam cannon that you use?
Yes. I started out using the inexpensive foam cannons. Decent results. They didn’t last! I started researching and got the BOSS. No joke quality piece. If you buy quality and take care of it. It will last. Solid construction. I really enjoy what you bring to the table. Keep up the great work.
Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Thanks for the kind words Jim! It's nice to see my viewers appreciate my videos and the fact I share my knowledge and experience with you all.
And I fully agree with you in when you buy a quality piece, it will outlast a cheap product. Sometimes people default to buying the less expensive thinking it's just a foam cannon, who cares. Then they have issues or might have to replace it more often, compared to buying one high quality piece, taking care of it, and have it last for years at peak performance if they take care of it. :)
@@jimprovax6846didn’t last? How did it not last?
Thanks for the video! You have the snuffles - get well soon!
Hehe this was filmed a while ago, I'm fine now. But this is proof that even under the weather, that doesn't stop me from making videos for you guys! ;)

Thanks Juan! Let’s goooo! 👍🏻
@@PanTheOrganizer your welcome 🙏🏼
🙏🏼 What's your favourite video on my channel, so far, by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer the award & new products videos 💯
Love the boss foam cannon. Definitely prefer the wide opening. Makes for easy clean out as well. Great video brother! Hey, happy holidays from the Smurf Family my friend 🤜🤛
Thanks man!! I hope you're doing well brother, and I hope you will have awesome holidays!!
@PanTheOrganizer All is well my friend! 🤜🤛 Will do man!
I have not tried the boss yet. But i have the other one, a couple cheap ones, and the mtm. I actually use their 3 in 1 ceramic as a drying aid, i put about an ounce into the foam cannon with water and just foam the car rinse and dry. Works great as a ceramic refresh. You should try to get a hold of their new ceramic rinseless.
Thanks for sharing David!!
Great review, wish MTM would keep up with the times, I do like the detent but it took them many years to go wide mouth and that cheap zinc connector
I love my MTM cannon, the foam produced in comparison to others is milking mice in terms of effectiveness. Were I to replace it I’d have two solid reasons, 1) the threads are easy to misalign and potentially strip, and 2) when trying to clean the bottle out for storage the soap bubbles hang at the bottom and take far to long to get out, a PIA for sure. This is important for getting pure water through the cannon for the post use flushing procedure. Long term durability of the MTM is proven, the Griots will need prove itself over time/heavy use. When, if ever, the MTM goes off line I’ll for sure have the Griots newest model on my short list. Thanks for the enjoyable and educational content always. Be well!!
Thanks Steve!
I use the bigboi pressure washer and they have their own foam cannon so I also opted to use that and it works incredibly well. Plus, I saw 5 other detailing channels were using the same one so they must know something and I'm not going to pretend to be an expert. If it's good enough for their professional job, then it's good enough to wash my car.
Oh for sure there are many good foam cannons out there. In fact, most of the ones in my battle videos for foam cannons do well. I haven't tested the Bigboi pressure washers yet. They seem interesting. I do like their Bigboi BlowR dryer that I have.
I never thought the Mtm was any good the mjjc is my fav. But I am a rinse-less guy now.
Hey pan can you do a video on tips for fleet washing?
I also like my mjjc if my mjcc breaks down on me. I will try the boss from cannon. Thank you for the video
Thanks! Which exact MJJC model do you have?
Pan, I'd love to see your opinions on the best snow removal tools and techniques. Are the foam sweeps safer in paint than a brush? Winter is here in Nova Scotia.
Hi Chris! I have many winter detailing tips videos on my channel, here are a few:
th-cam.com/video/0zBK5Kxorko/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QtNTOr92v7S4tD5I
th-cam.com/video/XmM2NzAlrts/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VKThJ94HwdWrTqvr
Any time you are searching for a topic, just add "Pan The Organizer" at the end and you'll likely find a video on it. For example "winter detailing tips Pan The Organizer" in the TH-cam search bar, and you would have found those.
With over 1000 videos on my channel so far, and new ones added twice weekly (Wednesdays and Saturdays), you'll likely always find what you're looking for.
Cheers from Montreal !! (It's -14C already here, and we had 30 cm of snow last week. I HATE winter hahaha).
Very well done, informative video, just started shopping for my first foam cannon so I've watched a 1/2 dozen or so comparison videos today and most of them have the Griots as #1, although there was some impressive ones at a much lower price point. Most likely going to go with the boss, although it looked like the cheaper Griots foam was actually a little thicker.
Yeah there are tons of high quality foam cannons these days even at lower price points. But for build quality, for the sure the BOSS foam cannon takes the cake. That being said, there are other very very good foam cannons like MJJC Foam Cannon S V3.0, MJJC Foam Cannon Pro v2.0, Griot's Garage Brilliant Finish Foam Cannon, MTM PF22.2, etc.
@@PanTheOrganizer I had pretty much made up my mind on the Boss after watching the other comparison videos, as I've always had pretty good luck with Griot's products (even though they're sometimes ridiculously pricey) but your in depth video on the quality of it and how well it works finally sold me on spending the $100, rather than buying one for $40 or 50 bucks that I might have to replace every or every other year. Amazon just delivered it and I can't wait to try it out. I also ordered a bottle of the Kochchemie GSF and a bottle of their Green star too. Thanks.
I use the Griot's Garage Brilliant Finish foam cannon with a Ryobi 1800 PSI 1.2 GPM pressure washer and Adam's Mega Foam, and it works great! The foam cannon reservoir is big enough that I can completely coat my Tesla Model S in foam all in one pass.
Yes I think the Brilliant Finish foam cannon is top notch and certainly amazing value for money!
The Mtm foam canon is still my favorite, just wished it had a larger opening.
Hopefully they give the next version a wide mouth for easier pouring of liquids in the container for sure.
Hi Pan! Just a little feedback. I purchased the Griot's Garage 51185, and used it a few times. The top appears to screw on tight, but the side to side motion causes the top to come off. Very frustrating watching the product and hit the floor, but that's ok. I'm going to try another Cannon, and as usual, thanks for the best channel on Social Media.
Thanks!
The hose is gone for the season, so I'm in rinseless mode. I'll give one of these a try in 2024/Springtime. Thanks, Pan!
Spring can't come quickly enough right?! Have a good day Jay!
@@PanTheOrganizer Light snow flurries here!! Argh!! I hate it!!!!!
You're telling me! It's below freezing here, and we had a mini snow storm that dropped almost 12 inches of snow already this past week. :(@@J1Z06
@@PanTheOrganizer 12 inches of snow doesn't sound like a mini storm, Pan! Any plans to move to a warmer place in the future?
I can never get the little plastic plugs to stay in the bottom of the hose, so I just run without.... Not sure if thats an issues but they never stay in
Hi Pan, it might be interesting at some point to test PH levels on different products, as you said for this snow foam it was PH8, but diluted it goes down a bit closer to 7. Just an off topic one, but it might be cool how different products behave when diluted or even to see their actual PH levels out of the bottle. Great video btw 👏🏻💪🏻
Thanks George!
ObsessedGarage did just that. Most of the time the pH will change as you'd expect based on dilution, with minor variability. A lot of it has to do with the pH of your water which may vary.
Correct. People need to not overthink the pH on dilution. It's never significant, to my knowledge.@@TheBreakfastLover
I absolutely love my BOSS Foam Cannon. I've had mine for over two years and it has held up very well over that time period. I've still never had to change anything inside the foam cannon or even clean it out. I also use those metering tips quite a bit and attach bottles of product directly to the foam cannon head. The BOSS is the BOSS, THE KING OF THE HILL in terms of foam cannons! Just get one. You won't be disappointed.
Hehe yeah it’s great! Thanks for sharing your personal experience Joe!!
I hope you are doing well.
Thanks to Pan the Organizer, I have become a foam addict. 😍 Got a foam question that's puzzling me for a few weeks. I use Adam's Mega Foam with my MJCC(?) foamer. The foam comes out thick and beautiful. I completely cover my car and then wash it... after I rinse it off thoroughly, the foam remains on the driveway and then flows towards the sewer opening by the curb. I have noticed that the white foam was so thick that it remained there for a day or two. The weather was sunny and warm. No, I did not use too much Mega Foam. I put about 1 tablespoonful into the warm water inside the foamer plastic container. So what could be causing the foam to remain outside after almost 2 days?
I like that! "Foam addict" hehe!! Yeah there are many snow foams that can be quite thick, and Adam's Mega Foam is for sure one of the thickest producing on the market currently. In my garage, I rinse my floor after the job and the water and chemicals go in the floor drains. So I haven't experienced the foam staying on the ground for 2 days like you have.
Perhaps write or call Adam's Polishes and see what they can help you with?
Another great video! A slight correction. Griot's will not REPAIR the BOSS foam cannon. They will replace it if faulty.
I know people have theirs that they love. The longest lasting ones for me have been super cheap. Just how it has worked out.
Yeah what ever works for you no problem there. 👍🏻
I wonder if the siphon tube with the weighted ball will fit in the MTM foam cannon. I'm also hopeful that MTM will design a new wide mouth bottle, i have two 22.2 cannons. i buy lots of griots merch including their polishers, creeper and soaps.
Thanks for your videos! Could I ask, which size orifice should I use (1.1 or 1.25) with an Active 2.0? Much appreciated!
I would keep the stock orifice 1.25
When you have a good pressure washer no need to swap to a smaller orifice.
Looks like they're just trying to keep up with the mjjc Pro 2 which is slightly less expensive and the build quality is A1
I use the brilliant finish for brake buster and mjjc pro 2.0 for the rest. Great cannons, also how do you not have the rust garbage in the bottom of the brilliant finish?
I have deionized water so I’m guessing that helps with durability of components?
Also, as I said in the video, it’s important to rinse out and flish residue out of the foam cannon after each use.
So I empty the container, rinse it out, fill it with warm water, run that through the pressure washer for 30 seconds to flush out any chemical residue, then empty the container and let the parts air dry overnight.
I always did this with my foam cannons and never had an issue.
WHat size orifice do you recommend on the Brilliant Finish with the Active 2.0 pressure washer?
The stock one that comes pre-installed.
Pan. Thank you for your videos. I've been a weekend warrior for decades but had to stop for few years due to a back injury. Now healed up, I have come back to a whole new world of foam techniques and foam equipment. I watched this video, as well as your great video on the MJJC Pro V2.0 and S V3.0, and your multiple videos praising the MTM PF22.2. I had a comment and a question. Looking at the MTM page, it seems they took some of your advice, and now offer a wide mouth version of the PF22.2. A nice quality of life upgrade. I am strongly considering the Griots Brilliant Finish foam cannon. My concern is the fact that it comes with a 1.1 orifice installed. I've heard you mention several times that a 1.1 size orifice may trigger an overload on a 15 amp breaker, which is what I have in my garage. Do weaker (lower psi, gpm) pressure washers draw less amperage than higher psi, gpm pressure washers? I guess I could buy a kilowatt type device and use the 1.25 orifice first to see the amperage draw, then try the 1.1 orifice and see how much it pulls. I'll be using the Ryobi 1800psi, 1.2 gpm pressure washer that I've seen other detailers mention as a reliable and low priced unit.
It's a little different with the Griot's Garage Brilliant Finish Foam Cannon. It does come with the 1.1mm orifice pre-installed, but they also supply the 1.25mm orifice.
In the case of that specific pressure washer, they only recommend using the 1.25mm orifice for pressure washers exceeding 4000 CU (cleaning units). The 1.1mm orifice they recommend for pressure washers of 1540 to 4000 CU. And cleaning units are measured by gpm x psi.
So in the case of your Ryobi, 1.2 gpm X 1800 psi = 2160 cleaning units.
Even with my powerful Kranzle pressure washer, it's 2.1 gpm X 1400 psi = 2940 CU so I would keep the 1.1mm orifice for mine.
So you would only need to swap to the 1.25mm orifice for high powered GAS pressure washers.
Here are their detailed instructions: www.griotsgarage.com/content/pdf/51185.pdf
Pan. Thank you very much for your reply. After I get the foam cannon and use it, I will let you know how much amperage my pressure washer pulls at the wall socket with the 1.1 size orifice that comes installed.
I'll also report my results with the Griots Brilliant Finish foam cannon. @@PanTheOrganizer
je ne trouve pas l'info si ça monte sur des karsher ?
Side marking are very important to me. Does this have side markings?
Wow! That foam Cannon checks all the boxes
Even boxes I didn't think about😂
Also you gave me a great idea: I need two foam cannons😊
You didn't exactly say that but it's a great excuse to check out that new offering
Christmas and Boxing Day is coming!!!!
Hehehe yeah it's pretty well engineered. Which features impressed you the most?
And which current foam cannon are you using?
@@PanTheOrganizer using a reasonably priced knockoff from Amazon. It does okay but I can tell by the construction it's not going to last.
One feature on the new boss Cannon I love is the weighted pick up tube. I am familiar with that setup using sprayers for insecticide and chemical application and find it quite handy.
Also I love the lifetime guarantee as I like to have my equipment last as long as possible. And not have to treat it like a baby.
Also the smaller orifice included is nice because I don't have to buy it before I try it it's already there.
Manufactured in North America a plus.
And a BIG thank you for continuing to put out all the great easy to understand yet comprehensive videos.😮
Thanks for the positive feedback about my videos man. Always appreciated!
Honestly if you want a boss cannon AND you are new to pressure washing cars and need product get the ENTIRE boss kit. It’s $164 USD comes with the cannon, surface prep, poly gloss, and surface wash liquids, a large edgeless drying towel, and an extra spray bottle. Pretty good value imo if I would have known about this I would have gotten it.

@@PanTheOrganizer just stumbled upon the channel since Ive been watching a lot of obsessed garage lately and have been putting together an entire pressure washing kit for my car and i needed a bit more info on the cannon as to its construction specifically the quick disconnect. Some background here but I recently bought a second hand boss cannon that I had to disassemble COMPLETELY and acid wash because it had rust due to a bad quick disconnect and poor treatment from the previous owner. It will be chrome plated to better protect against corrosion and imo it probably should have been chromed out of the box even if stainless is pretty corrosion resistant. with the amount of action these things see it just makes sense but regardless it will be a pretty unique cannon as I don’t know of any chromed boss cannons and I would probably recommend doing the same to others after my experience but that’s just me. HOWEVER Had I known about this kit I would have gotten it since I already intended to buy a lot of griots products and could have saved myself the trouble and just wanted to let others know.
Hey pan, so if i got this correctly, since the active 2.0 (that i own) have 2gpm, should i use a 1.25mm orifice or the 1.1mm would still give me more foam?
I dont think i understood correctly... why use the 1.25 if the 1.1 gives more foam? Thanks!
Keep the 1.25 orifice as you have a pressure washer that pumps out a lot of GPM.
Using the 1.1 orifice is for weaker pressure washers typically below 1.4 GPM of water output
I prefer this Griots foam cannon over the MTM. I have both. Both are solid 👍

BOSS seems to have a wider fan pattern than Brilliant Finish. I have the Brilliant Finish and it's great, but the base is not the most stable and too light when empty, it stands upright but tips easily. Wide base of BOSS seems to fix that. My PF22 has been downgraded to Brakebuster wheel dedicated cannon and Brilliant Finish for snow foam. I might get the BOSS for the improved user experience. That way I have dedicated PF22 for Wheels, BF for Alkaline prewash and BOSS for PH neutral snow foam.
Nice review Pan.
I have several "cheap" foam cannons. I put 1.1 plug in them and they work great with my Active pressure washer. I honestly don't want "shaving cream" results. Nice for videos but not necessary for detailing. Blessings from USA 🇺🇸
GGG 😎
Hehe I totally get you!! Thanks for watching!
Truth be told. My "pre-wash" process gets the car likely 90-95% clean before I even reach for the foam cannon. 😎@@PanTheOrganizer
What do you typically do for the pre-wash?
@PanTheOrganizer Typically - pressure wash 1st then using IK Foam Pro 12 with Meguiars Citrus Power Cleaner Plus 4:1 soak the entire vehicle with foam and let dwell 4 - 5 minutes. Then pressure wash rinse. Chem decon with TarX. Rinse again. Chem decon with IronX. 4th rinse. THEN foam the entire vehicle with Adams Mega Foam, let dwell for a few minutes then proceed with contact wash. 1 bucket - 5 or 6 microfiber mits. Final rinse ✨️
I hope you don't use the TarX tar remover on each regular weekly wash? That seems a bit harsh to me hehe. I'm guessing with all the chemicals you listed, those are a lot of steps, you are referring more to a maintenance wash for a customer's vehicle every other month?
Their new Boss Pressure Washer Gun looks equally amazing
If I get enough viewer requests for it, I'll look into that too!
You forgot to mention the secondary set of threads that allow you to attach it to most any chemical bottle to possibly spray different mediums through the cannon, although all won’t work it is an interesting feature
Yes you are right. I did test that and I was able to screw on the bottle of Koch Chemie Gsf as a viewer asked me to try in the comments. Good point for those who might be interested in that feature.
I apologize I don’t often read the comments
How much diluted foam cannon solution (oz or ml) are typically needed for one average vehicle (sedan/small SUV) ?? I watched further in your video; you answered my question. You mention using about half of the container (half of 33.4 oz). :)
I typically prepare a 22 oz solution
I really like the stainless steel, brass on my MJJC is turning black as the reaction to chemicals is apparent. So, I don't like the filters on my MJJC pro, they 'wear out' too quickly. After a while the foam comes out as a watery mess. If I had a choice now I would certainly be looking at this one, what are the filters like? Also, I have a bottle of Gfx here in the UK, after K.C announced only 3000 bottles of Gfx made only for the US. Loads of places selling it here in the UK too
They make rebuild kits for it, check the links in the description. :)
any change you could do a demo on foam cannons with different flow rates from 1.3 GPM all the way up to max?
I don't have a low flow pressure washer. Mine is 2.1 gpm.
If you have a pressure washer below 1.4 gpm, try seeing if the stock orifice works (1.25mm) and if you want more foam, switch to the included 1.1mm orifice.
the pro move is to buy a cheap wide neck one with the right nozzle features then swap out the orifice for a 1/1.1mm, swap out the filter media, then do the other water tricks for moar foam
What foam cannon are you currently using?
@@PanTheOrganizer YeewayVeh Foam Cannon; cheapo chinese brand, but once the parts are swapped its great
Very decent foam cannon pan are you going to do a mjjc comparison thanks good video
I have already covered the MJJC foams cannons in previous videos, so I don't see the need to again, but if viewers want to set yet another foam cannon battle video, I'll look into it as those are always popular.
What's your current foam cannon?
@@PanTheOrganizer I as well have the mjjc and a cheaper Amazon one I use for cleaning the house and the roof thanks pan as always great video 👍
Thanks Corey!!
FYI, this foam cannon is made in Taiwan, not the US.
Liar!! It’s all American made my friends sisters boyfriends cousins girlfriend brothers friends cousins dad works for griots and he said it’s made in USA
Hey Pan!
I often hear that when using prewash foams (let's say Carpro Lift), we should always "neutralize" the prewash with a ph neutral mechanical wash after. Is that's just marketing so we get more stuff from the companies or actually really needed? I mean, lots of water rinsing wouldn't neutralize the prewash also?
I've always done it, but being winter in Quebec, just a quick non contact wash sometimes would be nice when it's warmer outside.
I'd like to hear your opinion on that!
Thx!!
Once you do the prewash with a foam cannon, you should always follow up with a contact wash. Not only to neutralize a stronger prewash soap, but also more importantly to actually fully clean the surface.
The prewash can only do so much. It’s made to remove the bulk of dirt and reduce chances of swirls and scratches during the contact wash.
Regarding the mtm pf22: The narrow opening - it fits other bottles. It’s a standard size. It might not be that used but it might be handy. Also the metal thread is a good thing. Bottles can be replaced easier than the cannon. I know it might require a bit more care but it is correct engineering! Re Griots: No spare parts. Can you buy more bottles with lids? Made in USA AND Taiwan - mmm not sure they can claim to be good company supporting domestic economy…I do agree that someone ought to make a stainless cannon without a dosing knob - make it neater and less failures: Mosmatic!
Thanks for sharing, but some of your statements are incorrect. Griot's does have spare parts for the BOSS foam cannon, including replacement bottles here: bit.ly/3uOCs9x
They also have a full foam cannon rebuilt kit here: bit.ly/47ZlX9r
And the Griot's BOSS has internal threads to which you can screw regular product bottles. For example, I'm able to screw the foam cannon head directly to a bottle of Koch Chemie Gsf.
Griot's knows what they're doing. And they have great customer service, as is evident through viewers' comments already.
Where I do agree with you, is that I would love to see Mosmatic make a foam cannon!
By the way, which foam cannon are you currently using?
That’s great - I wasn’t aware of the spares or the extra bottle thread. I am a harsh critic sometimes! I have mtm pf22.2 but I am always looking to upgrade. I did want to speak up about the narrow opening and the metal thread as they do have practical thoughts behind them as well as the drawbacks. I think I would prefer a standard narrow neck - it’s not a problem for dilution bottles. I’d like a mosmatic, full stainless, no dosing control, flexible draw with weight, no fan control at all & narrow opening 😮 perfect for my bilt hamber…
Were the metering tips used with either Griots cannons?
No. I said in the video I don’t use metering tips.
What a paaaaaaaaantastic video
Thanks Mike!! What foam cannon do you for your daily?
@@PanTheOrganizer MJJC Pro V2
Pro V2 or S V2?
@@PanTheOrganizer Pro V2
@@PanTheOrganizer you need to try Detail Firm Exterior Lather
Probably not the best question to ask, but do you prefer the Griot's Boss or the MJJC V3? Thanks for the videos they have been very informative and help me a lot!
For build quality, the BOSS is for sure better. For overall foam output, the MJJC has a slightly better foaming capacity and also is less expensive. Both are very good, you can't go wrong really. They are top tier foam cannons.

Will the boss work fine with the ego pressure washer in turbo mode?
Hey Pan, I was wondering if I could pair this Griot's Garage BOSS Foam Cannon with my 1100 psi and 1.5 gpm pressure washer? and do I need to use 1.1 to make the foam thicker? Thank you!
I thought the brilliant was a little thicker foam and a little less run off.
That's another excellent foam cannon.
Pan, you never talked about the metering tips? Do you use one? I have the active pressure washer
I don't use the metering tips.
Hi Pan! What hose do you use for your gun? Looking for a good hose with no kink. Thanks! 😊
The stock hose that came with my high end Kranzle pressure washer.
@@PanTheOrganizer would you recommend one for a lower end gun? 😂 still beginner level.
Without adjusting the dilution for the water throughput of each cannon this is not a fair comparison. Potentially the MTM just flows water at a higher rate, with a slightly stronger dilution it may produce comparable results. All foam cannon comparisons should be done with equal panel impact ratio.
Pan. Could you also do a test on the griots using the bottle fitting because it has two threads on the device also will the GSF bottle fit on that smaller bottle thread on the foam cannon? Thanks 🙏
Hi! Yes I tested that and the Gsf bottle can screw right into the internal threads of the Griot's BOSS Foam Cannon. :)
@@PanTheOrganizer thanks Pan!!! That is amazing it fits
My pleasure.
I am considering picking up the Boss foam cannon but I really like my MJJC foam cannon pro V2. I notice on most of your videos you tend to use MJJC foam cannon. Which do you suggest I purchase. I love thick foam but I would like to get your suggestion. Thanks!
Griot’s is the best build quality for sure. But the one I tens to use most nowadays is the newer MJJC Foam Cannon S v3 which I presented here: th-cam.com/video/L-3608MjklU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hHgayhWG4jB4A0ky
Definitely better with the wider opening!
What's your current favourite foam cannon?
@@PanTheOrganizer The newest MJJC one. Just used it today!
That's another good one!! Both the Pro v2 and S v3 produce sick amounts of foam hehe. I will be looking forward to see the new Pro v3 when they launch it in 2024.
@@PanTheOrganizer Awesome! I can't wait!!!
What’s a good foam cannon for my current pressure washer is 1.2gpm 2,000 psi ?? I’ve notice a lot of these foam cannons recommend min 1.8gpm ??
You can still use them, just swap for the smaller 1.1mm orifice they supply with the foam cannon. Those will help for pressure washers with a water flow under 1.5 gpm
Of course don’t expect the same level of foam as my higher end Kranzle pressure washer that pumps out 2.1 gpm. And I use deionized water which is the best for getting max foam and suds.
@@PanTheOrganizer which one would you recommend for my current Pressure Washer ?
