Review Foam Cannon and Wheel Woolies

**grungy** · 09-19-2010, 12:59 PM

Just a question to see if I am spotting something correctly on this last pic - does that wheel have CC on it and the light scratching could be corrected by some hand/machine polishing?

what i did to make switching between my foam cannon and my h/p sprayer was go to the hardware store and buy the same size quick connects and adaptors. this way i can easily swtch from the foam cannon to the h/p sprayer.

Yes, its a factory rim. I see that light marring in the picture and would love to get it off. I real life it is not that noticable. Its on a long list behind de-swirling the paint. Not sure what to use on the wheel to polish that anyway.

I hope I can find them for my unit. The wand is metric and the foam cannot is NPT 1/4". BTW, does you foam cannon top have a gasket? Mine did not.

Nice review Jeff

I agree the foam cannon can tend to eat up a clock. I really see no benefit either. I understand the whole "knocking off the krud theory", but if I`m going to be polishing anyway, I feel whats My 1 hand car wash going to hurt -vs- what other nightmare already lies beneath the dirt

Flash is taking all the fun out of the wash

The foam gun or cannon are neat toys. I had a foam gun and traded it. It just seemed to be a soap waster for not much benefit especially in maintenance washes but I do see why people like them - nothing wrong with that.

I could have washed (foamed the whiole car with 1.5 oz soap) and another 1.5 in the bucket. If I could eliminate the bucket, 1.5 oz is a winner. it was my first time so I am not sure if it going to be a regular part of my wash.

Plus, my neighbor complained to me about the sound of the pressure washer. I started at 8AM. So that factors in for me.

Nice pictures, I just used a foam gun for the first time this weekend I enjoyed it. Now to get a PW and a cannon. Thanks for the reviews very helpful the wheel woolies look great.

Thanks for the review! I like the looks of the small wheel woolie for honeycomb grills and such. I haven`t seen anything quite like it so I think I`ll have to get one.

It was perfect for that. It a premium price for a good usable item that makes life cleaning wheels easier. I would expect lots of competition on this item as it looks simple to manufacturer and hopefully that will make the price fall below what I consider premium. At the end of the day I look at expense different than a Professional. I take car of my 3 cars and these should last a while for me. The expense is worth the convenience to me. For a Pro where time is money, I think it makes even more sense. I just hope they hold up under that type of daily use.

Great Review.........I want a Woolie

Two comments -

First, the wheel woolies are SUPER. I have 21 spoke, deep-set wheels that are a bear to clean. The woolies make the job a snap.

Second, the foam cannon. I have a 3000 psi gas pressure washer, which is too powerful for the foam cannon. However, another forum discussed the Foam Blaster from Home Depot. It`s less than 20 bucks and works GREAT. I fill it with Megs Gold Class soap and blast away the dirt. As long as you`re about 12 inches from the surface, no danger of any damage. Also, you can toggle the soap on/off so you can wash and rinse without disconnecting anything.

If you already have a high pressure washer, you have to get one of these.
