Congrats Matt, now you can make everyone around you jealous because you can foam your car the Chemical Guys way. Stay frothy buddy, send us some before and after pics to our Facebook page! C.G. Alex -
You guys should demonstrate it on a really dirty car that hasnt been washed for at least 2 weeks so we can see if the foam is actually working .... Clean car and showing how the cannon works doesnt make any difference since the car is a bit clean.
Gman 207 the title for the video says how to use the foam cannon. You should look for a video that says how a foam cannon works on a really dirty car :)
No Joke, that car when being pressured washed the water was beading off like it had just been porcelain waxed. Hardly a good demonstration. I also had to slow the video down a tad to understand what homie was saying. ;)
Thank you for the tips! I love using my foam cannon with my pressure washer with chemical guys soap.. now just saving to get myself a nice gas powered PW!
Hi there, thanks for watching. Detailing can be expensive at first, but when you realize you only need small amounts of product to get the job done, you can keep detailing for quite some time. I myself got into detailing, and I would slowly pick up products as I went, The more videos I saw the more practical everything became. I built my confidence in detailing by with every new item I picked up and using them. Stay Tuned, more great videos on the way. C.G. Alex -
J Fazzuoli ...great point...many overlook using warm water....good analogy is dishwashing....warm/hot water w dishwashing liquid soap creates more suds, and breaks grease, debris off a lot easier than cold water!
Great great video chemguys!! I'm all about the suds and foam I like lots and lots of it I makes me feel like I'm actually cleaning something I'm that way when ever I clean my car or whatever cleaning around the house I do. Keep those videos rolling. Take care guys😃 Your number one fan, Matthew
Thanks for the final tip.. was curious how to maintain my cannon. Cannot wait to close On my house Friday so I can start detailing again. Yeah Florida weather
Winter is coming fast. I know you guys are in California but I was hoping you could give some winter tips or maybe some tips on how to keep a car clear of salt and other winter harmful materials that can cause rust buildup to help preserve my vehicle. Thanks!
I have been a ChemicalGuys products user for one whole week now. I honestly thought all of their products were just "hype". Every one of their products is like a miracle cure, on TH-cam. I thought to myself, "what Sorcery is this? " for every video I watched. So last week I ordered $450 worth of their products and I have to say I am a believer of their snake oil. This stuff is absolutely fantastic. I have used Meguiars for a long time and think now that Meguiars is basically "Hershey's Chocolate , compared to ChemicalGuys Swiss Chocolate Goodness.

Chemical Guys My Neighbor just walked over because he saw my reflection as I walked past my car. He was like.. "what? !" He has never seen shine like that. My paint is 11 years old. It's an everyday driver. '06 Scion XB. The Black Car Kit, I'm sure he will be ordering too. Lol
Dylan Garan lucky guy !! I'm still amazed. I was waiting to be let down. I was waiting to use one of their products and be like ..."nope" No chance of that happening. This product: www.chemicalguys.com/Wheel_Guard_Max_Coat_Rim_Wheel_Sealant_8_oz_p/wac_303.htm Another amazing product. I was so happy using it, because honestly it smelled soooo good. It was the magical scent of "Stripper Pussy". Honestly, I was grinning from ear to ear. And it's a whole lot less $$$$ than that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Gregory, 60% of the time, it works every time lol. Wax is an amazing tool to enhance the shine of your paint, and it adds protection which is all so important with the chaotic weather we've all been experiencing. You can't go wrong with the black car care kit, everything contained within it will send your car's paint to the next level of clarity. I too have a whole trunk full of supplies, I'm sure my collection will grow. C.G. Alex -
Electric power washers work fine. The key is the GPM output. Needs to be 2.4 and up for these foam cannons to give you what you are looking for. Shaving cream foam.
Hola soy de peru gracias a sus videos me va a ayudar mucho para mi proyecto que pienso realizar aqui en mi pais peru sobre el lavado automotriz gracias a ustedes
Hola Carlos, De nada! Estamos pensando tambien de empezar un canal de Chemical Guys en Espanol para ayudar y ensenar a todos nostros que preferimos aprender en Espanol. Buena suerte en tu proyecto y si a cualquier momento tienes preguntas, no dudes en preguntar. -CG Javier
Nice video..same soap I bought from you guys Amazon special lol $56.00 for a nice foam cannon gal of honeydew soap and a very soft microfiber mit...I love the soap foams up great rinses off nice I used a 3200 psi gas pw worked great...thank you
excellent video. thanks for posting. you did a great job with this. I especially appreciated the point about how much car wash soap to put into the bottle of the cannon. I was going to use way to much soap, until I watched your video.
A fairly important tip that was missed is to turn off the pressure washer after foaming and moving to the scrubbing stage. Otherwise you'll burn up the pump if you leave it running for more than a couple minutes without pushing water through. (only applies to gas washers of course)
Thanks for the video, I just found that you guys have a store just down the road from me in Mesa Az. Sounds like I will have a new favorite store to visit.
Glad I asked regarding the CLR or the vinegar rinse. I am looking forward to using my chemical guys EQP 310 Torq along with your Mr pink soap thanks for your reply.
That's great to hear, the Torq is amazing, foaming is allot of foam, you won't want to stop. Mr Pink definitely sets the bar for Chemical Guys line up of car wash shampoos, it's a fan favorite! C.G. Alex -
We do too Hector, it's the future of car washing, and it's very amusing to foam your car. Not to mention that foaming your car, and washing with a mitt is very relaxing. When I detail my car, I really don't think about much. Stay tuned Hector, we've got an awesome new video launching tomorrow, don't miss it!!!
Thanks for the reply and I always stay updated on my videos of you guys you guys give me good tips on how to wash my cars and you guys have great chemicals go look now . Chemical Guys keeping it 💯💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks buddy, we really appreciate that. We work hard to make great videos, and stay up to date with the latest detailing trends. We're glad to have as part of the Chemical Guys family. C.G. Alex -
Hi Katie thanks for watching. That car belongs to one our co workers, and I've seen first hand how dirty it was. I have a similar Q50 and it's hard to tell from a distance that it's dirty because the metal flake in the paint reflects a large amount of sunlight. Our cars are exposed to industrial run off, bird droppings, and road grime. My car gets so dirty that I have to wash almost every week, and apply waxes frequently. Stay tuned Katie, more great videos are on the way.
don't give people false information, that car will have the smallest amount of dirt on it, you can see from when you spray the pressure washer on the bonnet the water sheets off instantly like it was detailed and then sealed with a wax or more likely a paint sealant before you applied the snow foam
thanks for letting me know how to maintain foam cannons I didn't do the whole process and now it sucks everything up so quickly then run out of time to foam my car it doesn't matter anymore because it was small and it came with my pressure washer and it sucks either way. I will maintain my knew cool one.
C'mon " maintenance" on a $15.00 device with no moving parts, that you've just run a gob of soap through??? You really have these followers brain-washed.
Hi! We love the awesome feedback! Make sure to follow us on Instagram & Facebook to stay updated. Thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family and thanks for watching! -CG Henry🤙
Hi Cody, Nick decided to showcase the gas-powered pressure washer to save time and water. If you're really looking for an in-depth look at how great an electric-pressure washer can be, check out the link below. Nick shows Frank (new to car washing) how to wash his car with an electric pressure washer. You can skip to 3:42 to see how great it is. We don't sell pressure washers but we can guarantee that both give off great amount of foam/suds. Thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family! th-cam.com/video/c3yTSLbDH78/w-d-xo.htmls
Psykic Chimp you foam the car and then rinse it off which gets rid of most of the dirt then you wash it with a soapy wash bucket to get the rest off with a rinse bucket too. Snow and rinse first reduces amount of dirt you’ll get in the buckets
For your sealants and waxes like Blitz, Activate, Butter Wet Wax and Instawax and even your paint sealant like JetSeal can you apply it to the whole car and buff it off. If you can do you apply it to the whole car wait then buff it off or apply it then immediately buff it
Hi Harshvir, Yes, for each of these, you're going to want to allow cure and bonding time before you buff it off. For Blitz: allow 5 minutes to dry and haze, then you can buff off to a high gloss shine. For Activate: allow it to dry for 15 minutes before buffing it off. Instawax: Allow 5 minutes to dry to a haze before buffing it off with a towel. For BWW: there is no required curing or drying time, you can buff it off immediately. Thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
You can use any Chemical Guys sealant if your goal is to just get through the winter with a coat of protection. I highly recommend JetSeal just for it's durability if you live in a place that experiences extreme weather conditions in the winter. If that is not an option then consider Extreme Top Coat Sealant with 3x Carnauba Wax. It is my go to product for all of my customers whose cars I detail, super durable, super slick, super glossy! - Griffin
Hi Harshvir, I completely agree with Griffin Lynch, Extreme Top is a great choice, or you can go with M seal, and Blitz. Just having a good combination of sealant and wax to protect the paint is good enough to keep the paint safe during the winter time especially with cold temperatures beating down on your car, and water forming all around the paint exterior.
I have the Versa too! I love that little car. I need to get it looked at though, i've got some sort of rattle on acceleration. Sounds like something needs to be tightened maybe..
Hey there, thanks for watching! I'm a big fan of Nissan's cars, I had a few in the past and now I'm driving their luxury division Infiniti. Yeah you should definitely get your car checked out, my Altima had engine problems at one point that left me without my car for a few days. Stay tuned buddy, we've got more great videos heading your way from the Chemical Guys crew. C.G. Alex -
I'm from India and have been watching your videos for a while now.......just love them 😍❤️ I'm gonna start detailing my car,but have no idea which is the best foam wash and which are the best products for car detailing in India. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you 😁
Look at all that water 💦 if you doing multiple cars I agree fill the 2 buckets all the way but for one car? A gallon a bucket should be more than enough
Super noob question I haven't found addressed on TH-cam from detailers, and the rest of the internet yields conflicting information: how do you fill the thing? is it full of soap? Do you put soap and water in? Just add soap leaving air at the top? How do the dilution ratios come into play? (I understand the dilution when using a bucket, not sure how that translates to an "unlimited" water supply.) If you put both soap and water in the cannon, do you shake it, too?
Hey there! Add two or three ounces of your favorite car wash soap and fill the rest of the canister with warm water. Gently stir the solution for proper aeration. - CG Nick
Wow! I don't get ANY WHERE near that amount of foam from my Dusichin Foam Cannon using Extreme BodyWash & Wax with my Sun Joe SPX3000. Do I need higher water pressure?
Everyone seems to do this differently. It seems you didn’t rinse off the soap after you foamed. I think the majority say to rinse off then wash with the two bucket system. Can you explain? Thanks!
Hi Michael, it's a waste of water, and the soap emulsifies the small dirt particles when it foams up. When you have a limited amount of time to wash, and you need to glaze, wax, or seal; you really have to move quickly. If you want to take the extra step, by all means, we've been doing this for a long time and we get consistently good results. Stay tuned Michael for more great videos. C.G. Alex -
Only down fall about the CG's bottle is the $100 on amazon or 110-130 on e-bay price tag that's $100 Canadian that a little to much for some brass and plastic. Sure it only cost maybe $25 to make. I get the whole you get what you pay for i see that more for wax, soap, DA polisher but not a plastic bottle.
I wouldn't wash my car with just the snow foam...i would rinse it off then wash the car... In reality if you don't rinse it your just washing it with the dirt still on it
@@josiahkaufman393 He rinsed it first, then did the foam and then just cleaned the car, completely wrong way. The snow foam is better put on a dry car so it clings better, leave it for a few minutes then wash it off with the pressure washer. Then clean the car.
Important point on a dirty car, but that Versa had like 2 specs of dust on it at most. It’s totally fine to rinse, foam, and get right to washing with your mitt if the car isn’t that dirty...
Nice video! I've been contemplating getting one, was looking at your brand foam cannon as I've used/currently using chemical guys cleaning products and are happy with products/results.
@@ChemicalGuys thank you! I've been shopping for one but didn't know if 3200 psi would be too much and destroy my paint. This opens up more options for me now. Thanks again
@@ChemicalGuys will your foam cannon fit just about every power washer nozzle or do I need to narrow down my search to a specific one? Do you have any suggestions on brands or what would be sufficient for me just to wash my vehicle's with your products?
Hey Michael! Thanks so much for watching. It is perfectly fine to use a gas-powered pressure washer for automotive detailing as long as it doesn't exceed 3500 PSI. - CG Nick
Hey there! Both play a key role in the aeration of the foam to produce thick foam. Higher PSI (1800-3000)will cause more foam and the recommend GPM(2.0) will produce thicker foam.
Would be good to show trouble shooting on foaming...if the foam is more slush than snow, what are the reasons behind it? How long should you leave the snow on for and should you rinse it off before shampoo?
Hi Nathan, I'd love to answer those questions for you. Here are some helpful tips: 1) Use warm water 2) Don't shake the soap up and down, spin the soap container instead. 3) Foam cannons have adjustable nozzles, use them. 4) Use 1-3 ounces of soap, fill the rest with water. Having the right kind of pressure helps, a 2.4 GPM is deal, however we've had success with the Sunjoe electric pressure washer. If you follow these tips, you should do fine.
Would it be advisable to run some CLR or white vinegar mixed in with the rinse water for your maintenance rinse to help prevent calcium deposits. Thanks for this excellent timed video for I just purchased my chemical guys EQP 310 Torq and used it for the first time.
Excellent video! Is pro soap the only way to get thick foam? I used 3oz of Oreileys cars was product and no settings give me foam that thick 😩. How can I do better?
Hey Steve! Thanks so much for reaching out. The right car wash soap plays a huge roll in creating thick foam. Using warm water in your foam cannon will help the aeration process. Check out Honeydew Snow Foam! - CG Nick www.chemicalguys.com/honeydew-snow-foam-extreme-suds-cleansing-wash-shampoo/honeydew-snow-foam.html
Hey shawoo! You can achieve great mounds of foam using any Chemical Guys car wash shampoo, I recommend using Honeydew Snow Foam. www.chemicalguys.com/honeydew-snow-foam/honeydew-snow-foam.html
Hey buddy, thanks for watching. We actually have a video already where we showcase the Revitalize wash soap. We also have another video coming soon with a very awesome car, at least one of my favorites where we showcase the Revitalize spray. th-cam.com/video/3D6QNjp6c_s/w-d-xo.html.
Hi Jason! Using the two bucket method reduces the chances of bringing grime back to the vehicle where is can cause scratches. One bucket is full of clean water and soap whereas the second bucket is full of clean water for rinsing your wash mitt.
Isn’t the soap good enough to remove a lot of the dirt if it’s just left to dwell then ringed off? Then you could do a contact wash with a lot less dirt being gathered in the mitt.
Shhhhhh. You need to buy 2 buckets and 2 grit guards. Always. Why would you just use the pressure washer and foam cannon soap as lubrication to wash your car with the mitt when you can carry 2 10 gallon buckets of water to get less soap on the car?
Love your products and getting ready to go with a foam cannon. Question: Can a foam cannon be hooked up directly to an air compressor, and if so, what PSI do I need? Thanks again...

Sold me on the foam cannon. I bought one after watching this video.
Just received my foam cannon in the mail. This is exactly what I was looking for. Now to go wash some stuff!!!
Congrats Matt, now you can make everyone around you jealous because you can foam your car the Chemical Guys way. Stay frothy buddy, send us some before and after pics to our Facebook page!

You guys should demonstrate it on a really dirty car that hasnt been washed for at least 2 weeks so we can see if the foam is actually working .... Clean car and showing how the cannon works doesnt make any difference since the car is a bit clean.
Gman 207 the title for the video says how to use the foam cannon. You should look for a video that says how a foam cannon works on a really dirty car :)
I for one am here to learn the ratio of soap to water for the cannon. I got that info and more so I'm happy with the video
No Joke, that car when being pressured washed the water was beading off like it had just been porcelain waxed. Hardly a good demonstration. I also had to slow the video down a tad to understand what homie was saying. ;)

It’s so satisfying using the foam cannon. Sometimes I’ll do a second pass, just because...
i Jump gotta empty the bottle anyway right lol
I do like 30 passes
Do my truck then....or do the neighbors wife’s car. She’ll be indebted.
Pre foam, rinse, foam hand wash, dry
2:30pm is 'waking up the neighbors' so that should paint my picture for ya.
F that i will go at 8am.
Great video bro . I like how it's less of a sales pitch and more of a how to .
Hi Jay! Thanks for the feedback and thanks for being part if the Chemical Guys family!
Dude try the decaf... it tastes just as good!! 😂😂
I don’t think coke has a decaf 😂
IKR.....🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the tips! I love using my foam cannon with my pressure washer with chemical guys soap.. now just saving to get myself a nice gas powered PW!
😃 Happy foaming!!
Doing things properly can get expensive lol
Hi there, thanks for watching. Detailing can be expensive at first, but when you realize you only need small amounts of product to get the job done, you can keep detailing for quite some time.

Tip #6 - use warm water to mix your soap
That's correct, it's an essential tip to maximize the performance of your foam cannon
C.G. Javier -
J Fazzuoli ...great point...many overlook using warm water....good analogy is dishwashing....warm/hot water w dishwashing liquid soap creates more suds, and breaks grease, debris off a lot easier than cold water!
Also use distilled water if possible ... hard water kills the form
Great great video chemguys!! I'm all about the suds and foam I like lots and lots of it I makes me feel like I'm actually cleaning something I'm that way when ever I clean my car or whatever cleaning around the house I do. Keep those videos rolling.
Take care guys😃

Thanks Mathew!!! Always a pleasure. : )
Thanks for the final tip.. was curious how to maintain my cannon. Cannot wait to close On my house Friday so I can start detailing again. Yeah Florida weather
Great to hear, John, and stay safe out there!
Tip 6: Fill the bottle with water first, then add the soap.
Never
hot water
Why is this?
In my experience it hasn't made a difference as long as the soap mixes with the water properly
Scott 💯!
I would like to see a demo with the electric pressure washer as well
Coming soon!
@@ChemicalGuys Did you all ever do this?
@@MisterMannerisms so did they ever do this?
@@Z71X4 I do believe they did. But I may be wrong. I got my power washer since then though.
Wow some excellent tips there a lot of common sense will apply to my next snow foam wash 😁🇬🇧🇬🇧
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video. I misunderstood that foaming was first because rinsing would push the dirt across the surface with less lubricants.
Thanks for the video! I'm actually using my foam cannon to clean my back deck and your pointers worked well for me.
🤩 Happy foaming!!
Yes he is a fast talker but very informative I learned alot thanks.

U should be using 1100 psi on paint not 3000+
And 2.0 -2.2 gpm
Learning a lot!!!!!!

hello brother when i use foam canon in my pressure washer it doesn't through good foam and makes noises and also my pressure washer gets too hot
Awesome vid and products
Happy detailing!
Nice hustle.
Thank you Ross, we aim to please!
Great info
Glad it was helpful!
Boy have I been doing that wrong! Thanks
Thanks so much for watching!!
So what was the purpose of the two buckets? I wouldn’t think you would need a soap bucket since you snowed the car. I get the rinse bucket.
Psykic Chimp you foam the car and then rinse it off which gets rid of most of the dirt then you wash it with a soapy wash bucket to get the rest off with a rinse bucket too. Snow and rinse first reduces amount of dirt you’ll get in the buckets
big thanks because i learnt about the knobs!
Now you're not a detailing knob!
Awesome video where can I find a canon gun and how much is it
Tots product is simply THE BEST👍
Your channel rocks!
Thanks for the info!
You did'nt show what those 2 bucket of water are for.
They're for washing the car.
Literally says it in the first 2 minutes
Put your hands in there to cool down
Do you guys plan on adding more products at local stores for consumers?
For your sealants and waxes like Blitz, Activate, Butter Wet Wax and Instawax and even your paint sealant like JetSeal can you apply it to the whole car and buff it off. If you can do you apply it to the whole car wait then buff it off or apply it then immediately buff it
Hi Harshvir,
Yes, for each of these, you're going to want to allow cure and bonding time before you buff it off. For Blitz: allow 5 minutes to dry and haze, then you can buff off to a high gloss shine. For Activate: allow it to dry for 15 minutes before buffing it off. Instawax: Allow 5 minutes to dry to a haze before buffing it off with a towel. For BWW: there is no required curing or drying time, you can buff it off immediately. Thanks for being part of the Chemical Guys family!
Thanks CG, another quick question, if you don't have JetSeal to protect your paint from the winter. What else can you do beside from JetSeal.
You can use any Chemical Guys sealant if your goal is to just get through the winter with a coat of protection. I highly recommend JetSeal just for it's durability if you live in a place that experiences extreme weather conditions in the winter. If that is not an option then consider Extreme Top Coat Sealant with 3x Carnauba Wax. It is my go to product for all of my customers whose cars I detail, super durable, super slick, super glossy! - Griffin
Hi Harshvir, I completely agree with Griffin Lynch, Extreme Top is a great choice, or you can go with M seal, and Blitz. Just having a good combination of sealant and wax to protect the paint is good enough to keep the paint safe during the winter time especially with cold temperatures beating down on your car, and water forming all around the paint exterior.
Chemical Guys thanks CG
Incredible!!!!!
Happy detailing!
I would of liked to see this as one unedited video. Us viewers dont know if you put more product into the foam cannon than you said.
Judging by the colour I'd say he did
@@qnely that's what I thought dude
I have the Versa too! I love that little car. I need to get it looked at though, i've got some sort of rattle on acceleration. Sounds like something needs to be tightened maybe..
Hey there, thanks for watching! I'm a big fan of Nissan's cars, I had a few in the past and now I'm driving their luxury division Infiniti. Yeah you should definitely get your car checked out, my Altima had engine problems at one point that left me without my car for a few days. Stay tuned buddy, we've got more great videos heading your way from the Chemical Guys crew.

I'm gonna start detailing my car,but have no idea which is the best foam wash and which are the best products for car detailing in India. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you 😁
Hey Anand, we truly appreciate that! Stay tuned, more great content is one the way!

Happy detailing!
Look at all that water 💦 if you doing multiple cars I agree fill the 2 buckets all the way but for one car? A gallon a bucket should be more than enough
Thank you
Happy detailing!!
- CG Nick
Super noob question I haven't found addressed on TH-cam from detailers, and the rest of the internet yields conflicting information: how do you fill the thing? is it full of soap? Do you put soap and water in? Just add soap leaving air at the top? How do the dilution ratios come into play? (I understand the dilution when using a bucket, not sure how that translates to an "unlimited" water supply.)
If you put both soap and water in the cannon, do you shake it, too?
Hey there! Add two or three ounces of your favorite car wash soap and fill the rest of the canister with warm water. Gently stir the solution for proper aeration.
- CG Nick
@@ChemicalGuys Thanks so much!
Greenworks pro 2300 psi pressure washer is just enough pressure for me to ditch gas.
Wow! I don't get ANY WHERE near that amount of foam from my Dusichin Foam Cannon using Extreme BodyWash & Wax with my Sun Joe SPX3000. Do I need higher water pressure?
Everyone seems to do this differently. It seems you didn’t rinse off the soap after you foamed. I think the majority say to rinse off then wash with the two bucket system. Can you explain? Thanks!
Hi Michael, it's a waste of water, and the soap emulsifies the small dirt particles when it foams up. When you have a limited amount of time to wash, and you need to glaze, wax, or seal; you really have to move quickly. If you want to take the extra step, by all means, we've been doing this for a long time and we get consistently good results. Stay tuned Michael for more great videos.

Good vid
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned, more great content is on the way!
Which machine u r using in this video
Only down fall about the CG's bottle is the $100 on amazon or 110-130 on e-bay price tag that's $100 Canadian that a little to much for some brass and plastic. Sure it only cost maybe $25 to make. I get the whole you get what you pay for i see that more for wax, soap, DA polisher but not a plastic bottle.
It is but my bottle broke even tho it was an original cg bottle the first time i used it the threads broke from the button and couldn't use it no more
Cost more like $3.00 to make ... just like all the other cheesy Chinese guns that all just happen to look identical to each other.
I wouldn't wash my car with just the snow foam...i would rinse it off then wash the car... In reality if you don't rinse it your just washing it with the dirt still on it
He did rinse it
@@josiahkaufman393 He rinsed it first, then did the foam and then just cleaned the car, completely wrong way.
The snow foam is better put on a dry car so it clings better, leave it for a few minutes then wash it off with the pressure washer. Then clean the car.
Important point on a dirty car, but that Versa had like 2 specs of dust on it at most. It’s totally fine to rinse, foam, and get right to washing with your mitt if the car isn’t that dirty...
Nice video! I've been contemplating getting one, was looking at your brand foam cannon as I've used/currently using chemical guys cleaning products and are happy with products/results.
What is the ideal psi for a pressure washer? And will it differ if you have a gas or electric washer?
Hey Adam! Anywhere from 1200 to 3500 PSI will deliver great foam. Never exceed 4200 PSI.
@@ChemicalGuys thank you! I've been shopping for one but didn't know if 3200 psi would be too much and destroy my paint. This opens up more options for me now. Thanks again
@@ChemicalGuys will your foam cannon fit just about every power washer nozzle or do I need to narrow down my search to a specific one? Do you have any suggestions on brands or what would be sufficient for me just to wash my vehicle's with your products?
Great video! What tip did you use in the pressure washer to rinse?
Thanks
I always thought using a gas pressure washer had too much psi and damage paint. Is that not true? Thank you for any info
Hey Michael! Thanks so much for watching. It is perfectly fine to use a gas-powered pressure washer for automotive detailing as long as it doesn't exceed 3500 PSI.

Is it the PSI or GPM to get thick foam?
Hey there! Both play a key role in the aeration of the foam to produce thick foam. Higher PSI (1800-3000)will cause more foam and the recommend GPM(2.0) will produce thicker foam.
Would be good to show trouble shooting on foaming...if the foam is more slush than snow, what are the reasons behind it? How long should you leave the snow on for and should you rinse it off before shampoo?
Hi Nathan, I'd love to answer those questions for you. Here are some helpful tips: 1) Use warm water 2) Don't shake the soap up and down, spin the soap container instead. 3) Foam cannons have adjustable nozzles, use them. 4) Use 1-3 ounces of soap, fill the rest with water. Having the right kind of pressure helps, a 2.4 GPM is deal, however we've had success with the Sunjoe electric pressure washer. If you follow these tips, you should do fine.
Thanks for the tips!
You got it buddy!
Would it be advisable to run some CLR or white vinegar mixed in with the rinse water for your maintenance rinse to help prevent calcium deposits. Thanks for this excellent timed video for I just purchased my chemical guys EQP 310 Torq and used it for the first time.
We don't recommend it because it may have a negative chemical reaction to the current soap you may be using and may cause more harm than good.
We're buying a 4,400 psi machine but I can't find a foam cannon over 4,000 psi? Any suggestions?
Hey! We recommend to never exceed 4,200 PSI when using the TORQ Foam Cannon.
Excellent video! Is pro soap the only way to get thick foam? I used 3oz of Oreileys cars was product and no settings give me foam that thick 😩. How can I do better?
Hey Steve! Thanks so much for reaching out. The right car wash soap plays a huge roll in creating thick foam. Using warm water in your foam cannon will help the aeration process. Check out Honeydew Snow Foam!

Is a special foam type soap required when using a foam cannon or will any car wash soap do?
Hey shawoo! You can achieve great mounds of foam using any Chemical Guys car wash shampoo, I recommend using Honeydew Snow Foam.

Lycan Studios thanks man!
I have one strange question. Why is my foam cannon spinning around when I attach it to my pressure washer gun?
I have learned to foam first to not scratch the paint.
Great content! How about tips for maintaining your ceramic coating?
Hey buddy, thanks for watching. We actually have a video already where we showcase the Revitalize wash soap. We also have another video coming soon with a very awesome car, at least one of my favorites where we showcase the Revitalize spray.

If I had a dollar for everytime he said foam reduces scratches
I’m new to all this. Why did you fill up the 2 buckets?
Hi Jason! Using the two bucket method reduces the chances of bringing grime back to the vehicle where is can cause scratches. One bucket is full of clean water and soap whereas the second bucket is full of clean water for rinsing your wash mitt.
Isn’t the soap good enough to remove a lot of the dirt if it’s just left to dwell then ringed off? Then you could do a contact wash with a lot less dirt being gathered in the mitt.
Shhhhhh. You need to buy 2 buckets and 2 grit guards. Always. Why would you just use the pressure washer and foam cannon soap as lubrication to wash your car with the mitt when you can carry 2 10 gallon buckets of water to get less soap on the car?
Does anyone know what that beat is with the guitar? Lol it sounds so good and slightly familiar
Love your products and getting ready to go with a foam cannon. Question: Can a foam cannon be hooked up directly to an air compressor, and if so, what PSI do I need? Thanks again...
Hey! The foam cannon requires pressurized water to operate. We use gas and electric pressure washers ranging from 800 to 3200 PSI.

@@ChemicalGuys Thanks, Nick! Just got my CG cleaning supplies and ready to go work on my C8
I have a gas pressure washer with talk on side how I make foam what is best soap, product to use that isn't to expensive nor cheap
