So we`ve got to wait until 9:00 AM Pacific Time (11:00 AM Central, 12:00PM Eastern) today, Friday ,June 8th, for this new product announcement from Griot`s Garage. I`ll need to check back in then.... hope it`s good!!!
Now, if this was important news from the Trump Administration, it would have been leaked to the general public a week ago, and someone would have been fired within the president`s staff by now!
I assume there were/are some beta-testers for this particular product out there within this forum who may be reading this post as we speak (type, really). Your secrecy and confidentiality are greatly appreciated by GG, and unless you`ve been involved in new product development, regardless of what type it is (chemical, vehicle, software programming, machine, electronic device, musical collaboration, etc.) you will not understand or appreciate how much that means and its importance to this process. (Inquiring minds still want to know, though..... just saying!)

Hey, at least he gave us a time!
Happy coincidence, lines right up with my lunch break.
THE BOSS Foaming System is delivered via an innovated THE BOSS Foam Cannon, mfg of Stainless Steel and capable of deliver the highly-concentrated cleaners and protectants via a ground-breaking AUTO-Mix System. This new approach delivers concentrate in a ready to use format, eliminating the time-consuming need to premix your concentrates. We built the formulas from the ground up to foam... no re-branded car soaps here. We hammered the chemistry, perfecting the formula through a multitude of trials and the result is a system that allows you to effortlessly produce or maintain a deep clean, intense gloss, and robust protection while avoiding wash-induced scratches. The system features three unique liquids and a groundbreaking delivery device. One of the many innovations in our liquids is the dual-layer foam technology in our cleaners. As you foam your vehicle a primary foam clings to the surface, softening and suspending dirt and road film. Then the secondary foam kicks in and slowly releases, carrying the abrasive contaminants to the ground. On the delivery side, our precision-built stainless-steel The BOSS™ Foam Cannon is a technical marvel itself, and the system liquids can be also used with a variety of existing Griot`s Garage delivery devices.

Can the orifice in the cannon be swapped out to utilize the smaller (1.1mm) one I use? I`m gonna ask another stupid question...since I already have a shelf full of soaps, can I still use those in the cannon? the video shows the cannon being attached to the fallout remover....so it will foam that too? Will it`s effectiveness be diminished at all in a foam vs the normal application?

Eesh, I guess there`s a lot of interest in this, the GG website seems to be crashed...
THE BOSS™ Foam Cannon really blasts the suds… in mere seconds it can blanket your car in rich, cleansing foam. We didn`t slap a sticker on an existing cannon, we designed our cannon to provide superior performance, longevity, and innovation. Powered by an electric or gas-powered pressure washer, the cannon`s nozzle adjusts to produce a wide spray pattern up to 40° for efficient coverage or a narrow 0° stream for long-range dispensing on trucks and RVs. Built to last, our cannon is made with stainless steel components that resist corrosion common with standard brass manifold designs. Our exclusive Auto-Mix feature is a serious innovation. It saves tons of time because you don`t have to remove the reservoir and remix the product by hand... It`s a "no measuring, no mess, and no math" proposition, just screw in the bottle of concentrate and the Sure-Flow Metering Tip provides the proper 20:1 ratio. It sprays for days… One bottle washes up to 35 cars... Talk about bang-for-your-buck car care. Here`s the best way to maximize your weekend therapy fun.
• Precision machined Stainless-Steel manifold
• Powered by an electric or gas-powered pressure washer
• Screw on a 35 oz. bottle or fill the supplied 33.8oz. Jar and let our exclusive Auto-Mix metering system dilute the product for you
• Sure-Flow Metering Tip provides the proper 20:1 ratio
• Cannon`s nozzle adjusts to produce a wide spray pattern up to 40°
• Patented vented cap eliminates product leakage
• One bottle washes up to 35 cars
Useful Directions:
Usage - A pressure washer featuring a minimum of 1.8 GPM flow and 1,100 psi or 1,980cu (Cleaning Units - gpm x psi) is required for the cannon to function as intended.
Setup - Determine the adapter type your equipment requires. We offer the two most common adapters manufactured in fine stainless steel:
• Stainless Steel Threaded Direct Adapter: Dual-threaded - M22-M Item # 81240B
• Stainless Steel Quick Disconnect Coupler: ¼” Male Item #81240A
Both adapters feature pre-installed red pipe thread sealant. Simply thread into cannon and securely tighten using a 14mm or 9/16” Box Wrench.
Detergent Dispensing Method – THE BOSS Foam Cannon features two detergent dispensing methods:
1. Auto-Mix Method
Remove jar from cannon, pour concentrate into jar or screw on Griot`s Garage 35oz. bottle to internal cap threads. Select the appropriate metering tip from the chart below and insert firmly into the pick-up ball at the bottom of the poly-tube. Note: Tip will be dependent on the type of pressure washer you have. (See AUTO`MIX tip recommendation chart below)
2. Manual-Mix Method
Dispensing of pre-mixed, ready to use (RTU) solution (Water: Detergent). This is the typical method, requiring the user to pre-mix a concentrate prior to use. Traditional products require 2-3 ounces of concentrate, while BOSS Foaming System products are
to be diluted 20:1 using 1.6oz of concentrate to water (32oz). See reference chart of common applications of Griot`s Garage products below.

I recognize that other cannon mfg. are offering different orifice size. Our Cannon is designed around the BOSS Foaming liquids. The BOSS Foam Cannon is capable of dispensing other mfg. foaming products and car wash soaps. Most need to be premixed in the supplied wide-mouth jar at a ration of 2-3 oz. of concentrate to warm water (aids in dilution).
Due to our unique dual-thread cap, users can employ the supplied wide mouth jar (We sell these separately which are great to have pre-mixed solutions ready to go.
Jar & Cap, 33.8 Ounce Item# 90551
Iron and Fallout Remover can be applied via THE BOSS Foam Cannon, with Auto-Mix metering tip removed. It is an efficient way to decontaminate the vehicle`s surface by saving time and with low-chemical consumption. It is best to apply Iron and Fallout Remover direct to the back portion of the vehicle, along with belt-line down (Most severely contaminated areas), then foam the remainder of the vehicle via the cannon

So.....you leave the tip off of the tube when you`re using the regular reservoir, but attach it when drawing directly from the bottle? I asked in an earlier post....can you swap the orifice out for the smaller one (1.1mm)?

So are the pre-wash and the wash supposed to be "touchless" products? Or they are just supposed to provide better (than what is available now) particle removal (from the dual-sudsing action) before you "touch"?

It seems that way, although I can`t see why you could not use them in a 2-bucket wash

So, I get that I`d have to pre-mix other brands of soaps in the wide-mouth bottle, but I`m guessing that this new cannon does not have a changeable orifice? I swapped mine out because I use a lower PSI (SunJoe) electric pressure washer. I guess I`ll have to wait and see what reviews come in and what videos are published to see if it makes sense for me to get one.
