Hello,



I just received a MTM Hydro Foam Cannon the other day. Looks to be the same cannon that some sites sell for twice as much. For all of you CG CW&G users using a foam cannon (NOT GUN), how many ounces of product are you putting into your dispenser bottle for maintenance washes and for stripping LSP?



I've done a search and found people are using CW&G in their cannons but no info on how much.
 
I experimented starting with 2oz and worked my way down. I use just the regular CG Citrus wash which simply doesn't have the added gloss ingredients.



I found 1oz to provide tons of rich suds and removed easily without much residue.



I didn't find the foam lance to provide much more cleaning ability than a prerinse with water alone. I now prerinse with just water and the pressure washer removing the large debris, wash with ONR in DI water and rinse with CR Spotless hooked up to the pressure washer. i found this method leaves the car looking significantly better with no marring to be found.



It looked kewl and blew the neighbors away, but in the end, the foam lance didn't work for me.



After 8 or 9 washes with 1oz in the foam lance filling the rest of the container with water, water still flew off my car with a leafblower. I don't believe my sealant was compromised with that concentration. I usually put some water in the bottle, added 1oz of CG, filled almost to the top and shook the bottle with my hand over the top to mix.
 
I found that my foam lance (same as yours) put out about 3 gallons of solution for 1 32oz bottle. You can use that to calculate oz per gallon for your specific soap.
 
isaax and IC3DT3, what PSI/GPM is your pressure washer? I just purchased the MTM foam lance, but a representative said it's only a maximum of 2600 PSI and 2.8 GPM. A friend is going to give me his Dewalt 3800 PSI/4.0GPM pressure washer. Is this too much pressure? Will it damage the foam lance in any sort of way, or even have a possibility of the foam lance disconnecting?
