I've upgraded my foam cannon since making this video and now use an MJJC Foam Cannon Pro. I also purchased an aftermarket cannon for my Karcher to see how it compares to the one I've shown in this video. Here are the links to the videos:

I used to have a Karcher as well, it was rubbish in comparison, I've got Auto Glym & MJJC to be fair both are similarly good, however the Auto Glym seems to have a much easier to use Karcher adapter
Thank you for explaining the dilution. I assumed thicker is better and it wasn't working. I've now got snow foam and am using less liquid.
Very simple and very helpful , just got my gun yesterday and will be cleaning my Mini Cooper out in the sunshine this afternoon now you have told me how it works, I could of worded it out myself but no need now thanks ☀️ 🧽 🚘👌
Thank you, my brother got us one for xmas. I was wondering why it doesn't produce that much foam. This was very helpful 👍
Thanks for this, you're the only one who actually describes how the yellow water adjuster works! Cheers
What a very clear, thorough review. Especially the PIR. Excellent. A good watch. Keep them coming, subs will flock in due course. Well done young woman!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Good choice of snow foam the best in my opinion 👌
The Karcher and Nilfisk supplied snowfoam lances will get you started but long you are better off with 1 litre after market lances nice video 🙌🏻
Thanks for watching! I keep meaning to upgrade the cannon but I keep getting distracted with more waxes, shampoos etc 😂
Auto Care HQ 🥱😍
Thanks I got the cannon with k5 last week used 1 litre of foam to wash 2 cars I never read the instructions 😬 but I'm a little wiser now
Thanks Heather. As clear and practical as ever.
So actually thanks for video, basically
Great video! I use angelwax fastfoam from the UK 🇬🇧 Excellent traffic film remover.
These can be quite versatile. Try putting in more snow foam and turning the dial down. Or what I have done is put shampoo in them. Quite good for reducing swirls 🙂
That mx5 is gleaming 😍
Basically it’s a good video
Good short video.
Great vid 👌
Interesting Video I have started with the Karcher as it was only a tenner on Amazon. It does give a blanket of foam but it's not brilliant. One day I will upgrade.
It does the job definitely, it’s more important what snow foam is in it than the cannon itself I think!
Hi, Would you like to review the new MJJC foam cannon Pro?
Hey, that would be great! Please would you be able to message me on Instagram @autocarehq ?
@@AutoCareHQ hi, i just messaged you on instagram. could you take a look?
Big difference in pricing from this to the MJJC products. If you're just interested in getting a decent wash, this is enough. if you're looking at professional results, spend more. I have *so* many other things to buy and a limited pot of gold, being a regular working person. Stay safe out there. 😊
Want a golden tip? put the reservoir upside down and you'll get really thick foam
I just ordered one today
Very clear and only bought that snow cannon should I have gone for the karcher one that attaches to the bottle ? But your video is great keep them up very clear and very easy to understand fair play 👍👍
Thanks very much! I’m not too sure what you mean, what does your foam cannon look like?
@@AutoCareHQ you can get another snow foam cannon from karcher that just comes with the nozzle and no bottle in a box
Sorry my cannon is the same as yours but it doesn’t seem to take the little tar spots off the car when used 😂
Ahh sorry! The tar spots can be such a pain. I’ve used car chem glue and tar remover in the past which is brill 😊 just make sure you wash away any residue with shampoo afterwards and don’t let it dry on the paint!
@@AutoCareHQ aaaah thanks a mill for your help I’ll let you know how I get on 👍👍👍
This FJ6 fit on my karcher 1700 ??
I used it once then now keep it as a backup if my other 2 amazon snow foam cannons fail with the 1.1mm orifice in one and a 1.4 in the other. It does the trick to a degree but would only use it in conjunction with my karcher fluid as a pre rinse to my higher quality soaps in the amazon foamers as the secondary for say a full blown detailing job where my OCD takes over LOL.
Also if I may be bold, you are my dream misses! It is hard going finding young ladies who are into this hobby here in Australia.
I got an amazon snow foam and although it just cost $12 it foam better than a karcher even with a thin dillution of water and soap,. i never use my karcher foam anymore.
Thanks for the review, what kind of hose you were using?
Thanks for watching, I’m not sure where it’s from unfortunately. I got the pressure washer second-hand and it already came with that hose
I brought an aftermarket lance and water was leaking out from it and no foam came out because of it. Any way to fix this? I have a Karcher K2 compact
Try checking if all the connections are tight enough and if it’s leaking from the thread that connects the lance to the bayonet connector. There still should be foam coming out though even if water is leaking so maybe check the Lance filter if it has one and change it if it’s clogged
I'm really interested in starting up a car cleaning business is there any way I can get in contact with u to get some tips and tricks on how the best way to start is please.
I just do this as a hobby to be honest so I’m not sure if I’d be able to offer much help but if you ever have any questions my Instagram is @autocarehq 😊
I have added you on there and I'm ready to ask you a million questions 😃😃
a new video please, with more foam
Hi, is there an option to open and clean it?
I don’t think you can actually take the nozzle apart to clean it. Your best bet is probably just to try and blast clean water through it after every use. I’ve been using this foam cannon weekly for a couple of years now and never had any issues with it getting blocked as long as I just rinse it through afterwards :)
@@AutoCareHQ 👍
Hi hun what it the best snow foam gun for a k4 as the karcher one is terrible
what's the best brand cannon that will give good foam results. I.got karcher not happy with it's results at all.
A lot of the PA lances that loads of brands do are about $15-20 and all give basically the same results. I’ve got an MJJC foam cannon pro which is more expensive but is really good
Foam name??
I’m using Bilt Hamber Auto Foam :) there’s a review and demo on the channel, I’d definitely recommend it if you’ve not tried it already!
Nice car! Yours?
Thank you! Yep it's my pride and joy haha!
@@AutoCareHQ The old MX-5 was awesome. This one even more! A true little jewel...
Meaning the RF...
I'd like to have a dime for every time you said, "So."
My question is this is it really worth it?
I honestly think it depends what snow foam you're using. Some snow foams just look cool but don't end up actually cleaning the car so they're pretty pointless. But others can actually do a great job at cleaning. I use Bilt Hamber Auto Foam and it's really good stuff. I've done a test using this snow foam on the channel if you want to see some before and after comparisons :)
not enough foam, should be way thicker
Hi
I'm kinda regretting buying the cheapest snowfoam and this gun now lol. We shall see.....
I’ve upgraded mine now but to be honest I got good results out of this for a couple of years at least!
@@AutoCareHQ yea, I'll give it a whirl and will probably upgrade in the future. Glad I found your channel tho, some great content for a newbie like me 👍
Thank you!
the foam looks so runny
Many so called pro detailers on You Tube will spray the foam on the car and immediately start washing with their mit. I’m glad you don’t do this. I have made comments about it and they get very defensive and argumentative. It’s beyond me why a so called pro detailer would start rubbing in that first layer of snow foam that has all the dirt suspended in the soap. Good job by not doing that.
Karcher foam cannon is rubbish, Auto Glym Cannon is much much better
