BEST FOAM CANNON for Car Detailing! In depth Side by Side Comparison

- What Foam Cannon is actually the best? This video took a long time to make and goes in to a lot of depth to figure out which foam cannon will be the best choice for you. I compare some of the most well known and premium foam cannons side by side to see which performs best. I open them up to inspect the interior components and see if there are any similarities or differences. I test foam cannons from Adams Polishes, Maxshine, Chemical Guys, MTM, Griots, MJJC, and more! Foam Cannons serve an amazing purpose in car detailing by allowing your soap to cling on to the vehicle and coat every service allowing the soap to break down contaminants and dirt to help rinse it all away. But, they are also super fun to use... ENJOY!

amazing video! seeing the results one after another, no one can deny. thank you for your continued work!
Great video, thank you for taking the time to do all this.
I’m still loving my MJJC and Craftsman 2100 psi pressure washer that I bought on your recommendation, great comparison, thanks Josh 👍😁
Bought the MJJ version from your site…changed my game big time! Thank you Josh!
Thank you for the MJJC information. I am looking forward to using it. Also thank you so much for matching Amazon's prices. I really appreciate this channel.
Just ordered pro max foam cannon from your store...thank you for all the great videos!!!!
Loving all your content mate, just discovered your channel and I'm glad I did one of the best on TH-cam
Great video and great to see a process of evaluation. Extremely informative and helpful. Loved it!
Thank John! Glad it helped
Nice video. I really like the in-depth review of all these foam cannons. Makes it easier to determine which foam cannon is best for the individual user.
Thanks for the detailed reviews.
I have loved my trinova for years now. No complaints. Good video!
The ball on the MTM is the detent for positioning the fan direction when rotating the nozzle.
Great reviews! I think that small ball on the MTM is for when you rotate the end from vertical to horizontal to help lock it in place. If you look at the back of the grey part there are holes for it to fit into.
thanks for the comparison video. I was considering the adams because I use some of their products. I ordered the mjjc from your link and hope it works well for me also!
Thank you for spreading the knowledge. Subbed
Hey Josh. I used all your links to copy your setup almost to the T. Everything works great so far. I got the new upgraded version of the Ryobi 1800, uberflex hose, quick connects, flexilla water hose, mckilian stubby gun, and tried the armor all foam Cannon from O'Reilly cause it was the only one around to test the setup. I ended up ordering the Boss and impatiently waiting for it to arrive tomorrow!, The metering tips and option to use a small bottle of soap is a really cool feature IMO. Thank you, and good luck to you and your channel!!!
New subscriber and just want to say thanks for all the tips so far. Keep it up
Always enjoy the reviews. I’d like to add a few things with the metering tips. I use my foam cannon every 2 weeks or so. For me to be able to connect a product bottle instead of having to premix or use the large mouth bottles and then have to wash it out is a great feature. The tips meter the soap perfectly. It’s a pain to wash out the large mouth bottle every time I use the cannon. Not a cheap cannon but I find the metering tips save the mixing and cleanup hassle.
You already have the hose out when you're washing. To say that rinsing a bottle maybe twice is a pain.... That is about the laziest s*** I've ever hewrd
Just an amazing video and breakdown. I don't know how you don't have a million plus subscribers? Love your channel and all of your videos.
Outstanding video brother 👍
I love the Adams been using for 6 months and it’s awesome
Josh, Thx for the most excellent review. I have been watching them all plus the pressure washer vids to get a setup of my own. I did decide on the Dewalt 2100 you just did a video of, because of its looks and compactness and your review. I also took advantage of Amazon and ordered the MJJC, Maxshine and a cheaper Astro model. I did all with the 1.1 and there really wasn't a contest as the MJJC performed so much better. Although I think I really liked the look and feel of the Maxine the best. I like the fatter nose and general feel. I also got a Yamatic hose and the Blue Uberflex 50' you love. I didn't even really unravel the one that came with the Dewalt and didn't get to test the Cosmetic, just from the feel you could know it was just like the Dewalt. As soon as I felt the Uberflex, it was spectacular, even though it ships in a plastic garbage bag. I think it's still important to have it laid out flat first for easy handling. I also got the quick connects and a new Aqua Joe fiber flex hose. Loved the hose and the hose QC. I didn't like the fact that if you use the QC on the Dewalt they will stick out further than the machine and also if you use it on the trigger, you can no longer store the trigger away in the built in storage compartment. I was thinking to just perhaps get the swivel and QC on the hose and not on the gun itself, if that makes sense.
However and very important that I bought a couple different QC to try to convert the Dewalt handle into a stubby as you suggested in the review. The QC didn't feel like the thread would just easily thread on and I did not want to strip the handle threads. I do feel that I want to use it with the MJJC as a stubby and need to find a perfect fit QC for the Dewalt handle to use it. Can you please tell me which is the exact fit for it, since you have the machine in your garage?
Lastly, I also bought the pressure monitor but forget to test it out but if you use the 3.0 tip on the Dewalt to get max GPM flow and bring the pressure to 1000 in the test, how does that equate to simply taking the tip off and now just connecting the MJJC foam gun, doesn't it just go right back to max pressure and lowest GPM? So I don't understand how the Max Flow GPM even applies using the foam gun. Does it only apply when you put that 3.0 tip on just to rinse? You could turn the dial on the foam gun for a water rinse as well? So I guess to simplify that, you want to use the gun for the foam then add that 3.0 15 degree tip you used in the video at all times for max rpm on the rinse? What difference does it really make compared to more or less if it is really only a rinse then?
TYVM for the help.
PS... I used Watermelon Snow Foam as well, unfortunately I could not say it even had a scent to it, which I was hoping it did.
that windshield so clean you can see into the future
VERY informative video!! Thanks for posting!!
Was an awesome video brother. Appreciate it
Thank you!
Excellent video. I like the reviews of all these foam cannons.I just ordered the MJJC I think is a good choice. it will arrive by the end of December 😢or January. Thanks mate for the info.
great in depth video!
Thnx for helping me to make the decision to buy an MJJC.
thanks for the vid i learned alot and am prepared to invest
I recently got the CM foam cannon but after seeing these results, I'm returning mines & just ordered your unbranded version instead. Wished I seen this video sooner, but thats on me.
The # 1 winner is The MJJC # 2 MTM #3 Griot's Boss, As far as foaming goes But The Griots Got Them All Beat With That Auto Mixing . The Griots Boss with that auto mix that is a game changer to foam canons I fill my Griots bottle full to the top with just pre wash soap (NO WATER ) and the canon does the rest and it does not use up any soap i can foam like 50 cars and still have half of the canon full of soap Love that Auto mix I own all the winners 👍
Love my MJJC Foam Cannon Pro, a bit expensive but works amazing
How long did it take you to get there because mine said two days and they didn’t send me a confirmation email or anything.
The Chem Guys Big Mouth Foam Cannon works great. The trick is to use Chem Guys Mr. Pink foam or add an ounce of Mr Pink foam to whatever foam you are using. The foam comes out like shaving cream. Much thicker than my MTM Hydro Cannon which I always thought was awesome. The ergonomics of the Chem Guys Cannon is excellent. The clear bottle with built in measurements and wide opening is very convenient.
I bought the MTM and I like it a lot.
Just bought mjjc from ur site thanks
For a charity I washed 30 cars in 4hrs. and using the Griot's Boss I could use straight soap and that saved me a ton of time as I would have to refill it many times to do that many cars
I'm sure other brands do it too, but Griots has soap that screws right into the gun, and the ability to adjust the soap collection is an awesome and super convenient combo.
I agree the Griots with that auto mix that is a game changer to foam canons I fill my Griots bottle full to the top with just pre wash soap and the canon does the rest and it does not us up any soap i can foam like 50 cars and still have half of the canon full of soap Love that Auto mix
@@TonysLawnCare215 Totally agree! Cars with Keav channel reviewed the boss and it’s astounding how little soap is used with automix. Over time that could add up to some real money saved.
The Griot's Garage Brilliant Finish Foam Cannon foams great.
A few month ago you did a video on Griot's brilliant cannon. As a result of that video I purchased it. I would put it up against any of these. I am super pleased. Your review was mostly favorable, but I have had terrific results withit and can't immagine liking a foamer more. Thanks
That’s awesome! I’m glad you like it so much!!
@@imjoshv love all your videos! just purchased the foam cannon from your site (can’t wait to get it!) not sure if I read it correctly, but does yours come with the “upgraded” better mesh filter?
I am planning on griots brilliant foam cannon this week!!
It’s a great choice!
Id like to see what you do & use for removing bugs!
I have used a few different foam cannons and honestly haven't noticed a difference between them at all when using a 1.1 orifice. I would just suggest getting one with a brass screw neck at the top of the bottle. Those will last a lot longer.
I ordered the cheap Amazon foam Cannon last month and got the MJCC delivered, lol. No complaints here.
Exactly. Overrated phone cannons. A decent cheap does just fine. But we all know Toys R Toys R Us in our Hobbies.
Thanks for the in depth reviews Josh. Question - can any of the reviewed Foam Cannon attachments be used to apply cleaning solutions for projects like Vinyl Siding or Deck Cleaning? Thank You
That little white ball acts as a positive stop when rotating the head from horizontal to vertical. It rests inside the four dimples that are in the plastic. GOod video!
the ball is a detent for the nozzle, so you can rotate it and it stay in place. there was four dimples on the nozzle for the ball detent.
Hey Josh, Blackline HD Foam cannon is getting a lot of social media Hype. The videos I've seen so far make it look pretty good. But we all know things can be made to look good that aren't. Hoping you might consider doing a review on it, and specifically comparing it to the MTM.
Hi Josh great video as always wondering if you're going to be in Orlando the next weekend for the mobile tech expo also do you ever plan to do a video on air fresheners
Thank you for putting your time into these videos. Thanks to you iv purchased a ryobi 1800 electric pressure washer, Uber flex 50ft, all the quick releases and an Amazon gun and foam cannon( installed 1.1). Car has never looked better ,so much foam and the set up has gave me no issues. 🤙🏽
I hope you used his links. He deserves it!
Thanks for your videos!!!!
Can you do a review on TD foam cannon? thanks...
Great comparison!! Have you by any chance heard of the Limitless Car Care foam cannon? They claim it shoots more soap using less foam and is priced the same as the MJJC
my foam cannon is a miracele gro fertlizer sprayer that hooks to garden hose. works good for washing camper at campgtound with dollar tree awesome cleaner
I have the Chemical Guys EQP_310 TORQ Professional Foam Cannon would you recommend the 1.1 orifice to be installed??
You should have thrown in a AmazonBasics or other $20 cannon just to see the difference. The AmazonBasics cannon I have with a 1.1 orifice does more than an adequate job for me with Adams Mega Foam, and I'm using the Ryobi 1800psi/1.2gpm washer.
I have the exact same BUT i cannot get the foam Cannon to shoot a wide stream no matter how many ways i adjust it. Shoots out like a foam laser. Any help?
Amazon basics and that other dusichin one both cant even function with the 1.1mm orifice if you’re using powerful pressure washers
I have the ryobi 1800 psi 1.2 gpm with the amazon basics. Its not good at all for me. Its runny soap.
@@WoopdeDoo Make sure to change the orifice in the soap cannon to the smaller 1.1 option and if necessary, change your soap and or mix volume. You can get good, dense, foam with the right setup.
That is because Mega Foam is insane! lol
Also the boss foam cannon has a Stainless steel weighted ball. I’m not sure if other one have that as well
gotta try the blackline foam cannon. crazy reviews 😮💨😮💨😮💨
The black line hd? It’s like $100 right? I haven’t tried it but I’ll check it out!
My first foam cannon was a Chemical Guys unit (EQP339 TORQ Professional Foam Cannon) that has two things that I think are real problems. First, the base is too narrow - it looks about the same as the Chemical Guys unit you reviewed, though the bottle is HDPE (the cloudy plastic). It constantly falls over....why it hasn't broken I don't know. Second, the filler neck is too narrow, I'd guess no more than 1" inside diameter. Unless you use a funnel, it's easy to spill the soap while filling the bottle.
I've always wondered if the markings on the foam cannon are measured correctly .
I want to win it! Awesome foam cannon and great video.
😂 I love the Kingpin reference! "One day when people say the name Munson they're gonna think winner."
One other thing to mention. Since it's winter currently - I want to reinforce using warm water in your foam Cannon. The foam output is dramatically improved using warm water vs ice cold out of the tap. The difference isn't AS extreme if you you have very soft water, but it's still there. For most of us though with hard water, and during the winter, it's night and day.
thank you for the tip I'll have to try it
thanks man barely ever heard anyone say that, esspeialy not STRESS the importance
It would be a very nice added feature for sure. I'd love to see how different foods effect my blood sugar levels without having to have a Dexcon device somewhere else on my body.
You should buy the Matcee foam canon had very good results would be good for the test
Just to add to the chemical guys bottle transparency. That bottle is super durable i wash daily and id say a week i drop it at least 3 times. But the soap looks nice and the bottle has measurements so i get a perfect mix ratio every time.
I have been using an Armorp
I got a tool daily upgrade version foam cannon that performs very well, it’s also only 23$, I can post up a video for you if you’d like or I can send you a message of the version I got. It’s got a 1.15mm orifice. It comes with a wide neck, a thick wall bottle that isn’t flimsy, somewhat wide bottom. I’m running on a harbor freight pressure washer.
Can you make a video on how to instal the MJJC foam cannon 1.1 orifice?
It's interesting that people still consider the MTM a top performer. Ours has made great foam from day one, but after that the positives sort of go away:
Pros: Great, uniform foam
Cons: Thin neck and need for a funnel gets old fast; the plastic bottle on metal body causes the bottle to frequently strip if you're not careful; fan adjustment knozzle is too loose and we constantly have to reset it; syphon tube isn't as nice as others like the Griot's and the MJCC; although it doesn't affect the performance, ours is covered in rust; the plastic below the dilution adjustment knob cracked on ours and leaks; expensive considering all of these cons
Four or five years ago we were very happy with the purchase, but through the power of competition, it's heyday has come and gone. The Griot's Boss has been a treat to use over the past couple of months. We'll see how she holds up!
So I just watched this video a few days ago and ordered the Ridge Washer from Amazon for $32. Today I’m in Harbor Freight and they now carry the identical gun for $25, with the trigger lock, just a different color.
I am new to the car detailing business and i really liked this video. So , i am interested in purchasing the MJJC foam cannon but i have a 2000psi electric pressure washer what size orifice would i need to increase the foam if needed
Great job Josh... as usual. Wonderful to see these going head-to-head, one on one.
Having followed your videos for some time, I need to ask, how come you get greater coverage from a cannon? You seem to get a car covered and still have 1/2 leftover... I'm empty. And your coverage is thicker, or so it looks!
Probably the 1.1mm orifice in the cannon. It produces more foam/saving you from wasting your soap solution
@Brian Hennessy Well, I use the 1.1 mm orifice in my MJJC cannon along with the Ryobi 1900 psi-1.2 gpm unit... seems to use the soap solution fast with some medium coverages. Maybe CA weather is more conducive to auto detailing?
@@robertrobertson5120 possibly
Josh, would you prefer the Armor all foam cannon for a good mid level choice over the Trinova etc?
The mjjc has a 3 component filter is their room to add the same component filters in the others or is it made to fit only on the mjjc foam cannon.
I gto your unbranded MJJC foam cannon with the "josh" set up. I have the Ryobi 1600 PSI with the red 30 feet uber flex hose and the purple short wand
What size nozzle?? 2.0 or 3.0??
I think the griots brilliant finish foam cannon gives better results than all of these, but i may be slightly influenced since I only use it with adams mega foam. Either way, it produces the thickest foam I’ve ever had.
What pressure washer do you have
What is also advertised as stainless steel might very well not be stainless steel due to it's high cost but brass you can have more assurance that it will not corrode
After all that soap. That windshield must be super clean by now🤩🤣
I wonder if these types of foam filters would fit into the IK PRO FOAM 12?
I purchased the adams foam cannon, I have the chemical guys, along with the cheap HF foam cannons… I did not receive the weighted straw? Not sure why, this is one of the reasons I purchased the adams. I’m noticing how quickly the attachments rust and it’s pretty amazing. My cheap HF foam cannon is clogged up and needs cleaned through. But up until now had been performing awesome for the price… can’t really blame it.. it sat for a few weeks in below freezing temperatures. I just wish these companies would reach out to the little guys.. who invest all the money they have in their products. As always your videos are super informative, thank you
Does the orifice size differ between electric and petrol pressure washers ????
What's the pressure washer used in the video?
Have you ever used a 1.1mm orifice with a gas powered pressure washer above 2000psi.? Whats the result and would you recommend do so. A video on that would be epic
Ok I’m sold mjjc
You seem like a cool guy to have as a friend! 😉
Hi friend,
I have wash pressure with 135 bar what orifice I need ? Ty
I bought the new tool daily foam cannon, I found your TH-cam channel and really like the mjjc. But before I buy it what are your thoughts on the tool daily?
i wish the top of the mjjc would fit on the chemical guys bc i love the clear
Trinova win 🥇 good 👍 perfect for the job
If they're all built pretty much the same, what makes the MJJC so much better?
Have you tried the MJJC foam filter in one of the other foam cannons to see if it produces the same foam as MJJC?
Hi Josh.....Great video ....as usual !!....The little white tab that is present on the MTM when you remove the barrel should be a sort of stop lock so when you change from horizontal to vertical spray pattern the barrel has a secure resting point. I come to this conclusion because looking at the base of the barrel there are 4 little round indentations that look like they would pair perfectly with that little round tab ! Ha so there ...I may be way off but i cant think of any other use for that ...Tell me if you agree.
I actually purchased the Adams premium cannon but have not had a chance to use it yet as its -10 C in toronto canada right now .Just for your info I made that purchase after watching your review on it and was very impressed as i have been using Adams products for a long time and they havent let me down yet.. Also was wondering if you had any pointers on washing a C8 Corvette as it relates to the open vents on the back hatch? Would you recommend any method to keep water from getting to the engine bay ?
Thanks again for all the great information you share as it helps people more than you know !!!
I had the exact same thought about the little white tab and the indents on the barrel.
Like to see the Wolfgang snow fome cannon
that ball is a detent so when you turn the end it has a positive locking feel
Do you know what size o ring goes on the mjjc?
Which pressure washer did you use to test them?
Do you have any plans on reviewing the chem x foam injector kit? I think it’s called the silencer
Hey man just dubed to you been watching a few of your vids .. what pressure washer would you suggest to clean cement , siding and the car .. gas perable since I know your more versed in this stuff.
One last thought before I forget.
Brass is likely going to be just fine for our use and settings, but it's not as simple as the Navy having used it for a long time. The Navy has heavy heavy duty protection and corrosion resistance products on pretty much everything they're able to cover and protect. They also have a pretty fine tuned maintenance schedule and lots of manpower to get it all done.
That said.... Not all stainless steel is the same and none of it is magically completely immune to corrosion, because nothing is. Furthermore, brass is a bit softer which can make for the occasional smoother fitting here and there. If you use a cheaper stainless fitting vs something like a good quality precisely machined mosmatic fitting you may notice it. Personally I consider most fittings disposable because they take a lot of wear and tear and thus I stick to brass.
In applications where I know something is going to be submerged most of the time or exposed to chemicals, I'll spring for some 316 stainless stuff. This is why I use stainless steel nuts as a weight on my siphon tube.
Great info thanks!!
yeah and a lot of the brass fittings today are poor quality brass and you got it right...disposable after some uses. not like the brass we saw years ago.
I HAVE A QUESTION, I'VE WENT TO SOME OF YOUR LINKS ON THE AMAZON SITE FOR THE 1.1 ORIFICE, & I NOTICE IN THE ITEM DESCRIPTION SOME OF THE SIZES ARE OFF A TAD, HOW DOES ONE KNOW WHICH TO BUY OR WHAT THEY HAVE ? THANKS !!
I trashed my Griots foam cannons because they all developed rust. The Brilliant Finish as well as the Boss. Props to Griot's, as they did honor their warranty but having to return 3 foam cannons due to rust just made me give up. The rust always started with the pickup ball.
You help me a tone
