The scoring makes it very easy for everyone to see what works best for them. Super informative video, can’t wait to see the future keav scoring videos
I'm a nerd for numbers so its what I enjoy.
Well done Keav. Very thorough. Lots of great info.
Appreciate that. Most work ever ever put in a video. Took a week to finalize all the categories and scoring.
starting to become my go-to for cannons/washing...great idea for the score system. thanks again...subscribed.
Appreciate that!
You did it! Great job on pulling all this together and thinking through how you future proof it as things improve and new products come out. You might just be the one to spur on new foam cannon innovations.... manufacturers are having war room meetings right now trying to figure out how they improve their Keav score! :D
Whatever we can do to get MTM to come out with a version 3 and I hear MJJC V3 is in the works too.
Appreciate that!
Love the scoring idea man! I’m still trying to figure out where you keep all these foam cannons and pressure washers 😂 must be a full garage
Next Video. LOL
For the Sooprinse how does the dilution ratios work? do you fill it up with water to that line?
Fill up to the line with your soap or chemical and then fill to the top mark with water. (1000ml)
I love my brilliant finish foam cannon as well. The design is so good. I hate how big some of the other bottles are. Plus the super pliable straw and weighted ball make a huge difference. I can now get all of the soap out of my foam cannon.
It’s a great unit and the price is very competitive. Agreed on the bottle size, but I also like a lot of product and use lots of soap. So I end up using the slightly bigger ones to get true 1000ml without overflowing the top.
😄lol the out takes are great and the video. Take my sub and likes!
Appreciate that
lol this is awesome. Big fan of the Griot's Boss so far. Do you have an analytical career outside of detailing?
Part of my day job. I OCD over this stuff too. 😂
Currently running Sooprinse with the Active ve52 (2021 model), and it's surging (shutting off pressure) like it's making to much back pressure. Any idea how or what to resolve? The ve52 works just fine with the cheapy foam bottles, and every other attachment.
Need to be using a 1.25 orifice with the VE52. Sooprinse comes with a 1.1 and you would be correct that will cause too much pressure and also higher amps causing possible overheating. Many of the cheaper ones especially older ones had a 1.25 installed. Grab some 1.25 off Amazon only cost maybe $7 or $8 dollars for a pair.
@@CarsWithKeav oh the sooprinse comes with a 1.1? Good to know.
Love these videos bro, im starting my journey down the detailing business, came across your greenworks 2300 video while doing some washer research, now this pops up?? amazing!
Appreciate that!
Have you had any rust issues with the metal ball on your griots brilliant finish foam cannon? The ball in mine rusts really bad and stains the bottom of the bottle. I'm guessing its not really stainless
People are having this issue if you mix with water. If you keep only soap and always leave filled it doesn’t seem to do it. Hit up Griots I heard they are replacing them when requested.
@@CarsWithKeav thank you for the intel, I’ll hit them up and try your tips!
Thanks for explaining your point system.
No problem! Don’t really use it anymore though. Market has changed so much just about every foam cannon is good now.
I love all this but I definitely think you should do some sort of standardized rating where you can, and I think if it's possible to swap out the orifice, then you should test both and record the measurements.
Like basically take a blank panel and do three back and forth passes with the cannon using the same soap amounts and all, and then measure the depth of the foam with each orifice and record the measurement.
Thanks for the suggestions. Its tough because so much of the scoring is subjective even the thickness because there is a clinging thickness and a frothy thickness.
@@CarsWithKeav Yeah I definitely feel you there. You could do something like a measurement immediately after foaming and at 60 seconds or something like that, but then I feel like it may be getting off in the weeds with information overload and overthinking it.
Can the MJJC pro use the foaming meters?
Yup, I show how In this video. th-cam.com/video/qoJCSqo0VxY/w-d-xo.html
Kev do you think its possible not to dilute your soap and just use the foam dial to get same results as adding a tip to the metal ball in the griots?
Very possible, but most foam cannons won’t operate well doing that as the foam won’t be very good. You could use a siphon like I did in this video. th-cam.com/video/qoJCSqo0VxY/w-d-xo.html
@@CarsWithKeav sweet thank you
You are such a geek I love it! =D
Proud of it too! LOL
What one is compatible for a k7 Karcher bro cheers. Great vid 👍
They all can be with the right adapter if you are using the stick gun. MJJC actually makes one that comes with the adapter for Karcher.
@@CarsWithKeav Thanks bro appreciate the reply
I love my Brilliant finish foam canon; but, the weighted ball is starting to rust after just 3 washes. I'm guessing the Boss canon's weighted ball will fit if I buy the "rebuild kit". From what I'm reading online the Boss canon's ball is stainless/wont rust.
That’s possible. Will have To check mine and see. I never add water and always submerged in soap so might react different.
I saw on a Griot's Garage video they said to contact them and they'll send you a free ball that won't rust.
@@joshread3740 that’s great to know. Going to go get mine rusted. 😂
@@joshread3740 Awesome, thanks for the info! I'll reach out.
@@CarsWithKeav On mine its happening inside the ball, where the insert would go. I only noticed because I washed it and hung it up to dry. The next day there were brown spots under the ball on my wash cloth. Anyway, thanks for the great content as usual!
On the armor all foam cannon I changed out into a 1.1 orifice and I get crazy thick foam and that’s all I changed
You can do that for sure. i just test the way it comes in the box. Most people don't want to know or have no idea about the orifice.
It’s cause in the video you said even with a 1.1 it still foams like crap
@@ramsc4corvette I could have gotten a bad unit as well. I have seen two of the same unit perform very different. Pressure Washers as well have seen different results, but I can only review on my experience. What soap dilution did you use? I always use the same to make sure my reviews are consistent which is 10:1. I have seen some cannons need almost a 5:1 to foam well.
Brilliant foam cannon is underrated imo.
It is very good thats for sure. I don't use it much due to how good the MJJC foams, but it is top 3 for sure for me.
mjjc took out the dual thread. The old v2 stock is dual thread the new stock is single thread for the big bottle supplied.
That sucks. Hard to keep up with all the changes. Heard Brilliant Finish changed the weighted ball so the metering tips didn’t work. I bought another to make sure and it had the right one. 🤷♂️ At least it’s not something that impacts score much. Maybe a 1/10 or 2/10 of a point.
@@CarsWithKeav I contacted mjjc myself. They told me they have a v3 coming but no date given but they were talking about putting the inner threading back so you can have option to fit different bottles of choice.
I bought a spare mjjc assuming it wil be the same as my old stock model but no inner threading. Still my favourite for extreme foam. Probably the easiest cannon to change a filter.
@@CarsWithKeav I have a few foam cannons as well I did purchase the griot and shipped to uk. The metering ball started to rust somebody else was having same issue photo image on Amazon USA. The black coating started coming off as well. But you can take the the outer casing off and fit them in other foams cannons I tried it vice versa with other casing. The barrel is same with many foam cannons. The only one I think masterd it is mjjc the barrel chamber is short but completely air sealed something different internally with the filter out side of the chamber system. I think that's why they can achieve really high foam pushing through the filter out of the chamber unit .
@@preteshpatel959 It’s a well thought out design. They realized later I think it was worth more than they were selling it for too so the price went up a good bit. I’ll reach out to the. To see if I can get a V3. They sent me the other two.
@@preteshpatel959 somebody on here said Griots was replacing the rusty weighted balls for free. Yeah their design is unique and they sandwich filter style helps too I think.
Ok so MJJC with metering tips or GG boss? Torn lol
Griots boss is pretty good and it comes with the tips. If you buy MJJC it basically the same price now and you have to buy tips from Griots and with shipping it’s going to be $15 to $20
If the Sooprinse foamed a bit better it would be almost perfect. Foam is a bit watery.
It’s good for the price just not quite there yet.
FOR THE BRILLIANT YOU MUST COMPLETELY EMPTY the canister with each wash!!! Otherwise it will break and you will have to buy a kit.
Weird never had a problem I have had soap sit in there for months at a time and it works without issue. What exactly Breaks? I know they have had rust issues, but they will replace the weighted ball for free.
@@CarsWithKeav its the aerator I think. It was my only foam cannon and I used it a lot. If you TH-cam it brilliant replacement kit griots has a video on how to replace the components. 20 bucks
Clear brittle bottle or opaque sturdy Boddle that will last a lift time??…. lol plastic has its rights too!
We are about to find out. Full foam cannon drop testing coming soon with every foam cannon I have.
with scoring up to a hundred, I feel like the decimal scoring isn't really needed.. Proll'y just me
All preference. I left it there as they were so close and didn’t want rounding up or down make one seem better than it was. Maybe over analyzing, but that’s my OCD. 😂
@@CarsWithKeav And My OCD made me reply LOL 🤣
Are foam cannons too expensive?
You can buy a great quality pressure washer for $200.
But a relatively simple plastic bottle with a nozzle costs $100?
There are many good foam cannons for $20 to $25 on Amazon. This video shows some of the cheap vs expensive th-cam.com/video/i9nXjVR2Xco/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HSBQfOsRV33DcIEQ
why not split the rating :best more expensive; best least expensive;
Expensive is different to everybody so that would be hard to draw the line then I got way too much work trying to split up the data. I just want to rate how good they are and give a few points if it does well and it’s cheaper, but the Sooprinse is the best cheapeast because the Selkie sucks and Sooprinse right now is only $22. Future reviews will show score, but also my opinion on its value. Thx for the feeedback really appreciate it.
