Re: Foam cannon fun

I think my pressure washer might be a bit to strong for car paint.

Fixed on 2800PSI I believe.





Would that fitting for the foam cannon fit on this wand?

Re: Foam cannon fun

Yea that's what my washer uses - those push in type quick connects for different nozzles patterns... the cam spray comes with the quick connect attachment so you don't need anything else in that respect...

2800psi is fine for foam (I believe superbee runs his at 3000psi for foam), for the rinse if you want to use the washer I would just be a little cautious and move back a bit with the widest (flatest) nozzle you have.

So I should be able to just connect the foam cannon and thats it? I shouldn't need anything else?

Yup! that PW you have is *perfect*! It has a Honda engine, and a triple piston type pump; one of the best setups you can get. And I *do* run mine at the full 3,000 psi. Have yet to peel any paint, or any of my vinyl stripes.

Just make sure you use the widest angle attachment (mine is white, and it's a 40 degree angle) when you aren't using the foam cannon. You need to disperse that high PSI across a wide angle to keep from damaging the paint; don't use *any* of the narrower tips.

All you have to do to attach the foam cannon is unscrew the metal wand, and screw on the foam cannon.

You'll love it.

My cannon came with the same push on quick connects that my different spray nozzles use, so I can just pop off the wide spray nozzle and pop on the cannon. It does make it front heavy but I prefer it like that since it makes removal so easy.
