    Nice video and delivery. I think a true comparison of the 3 karcher units would to re-formulate the snow foam mix to have a fixed PIR, using the same concentration across the 3 machines with increasing levels of water flow (litres/min) will pull more mix for the snow canon and use more product and hence thicker foam? Interesting to see all the same as I have a 15 year old Karcher and looking to upgrade. Which unit is ‘adequate’ for the job?

    • @RichManPoorTech
      @RichManPoorTech  2 года назад +1

      Hi mix was the same for all 3 keeping that variable the same, with more flow you can move quicker, especially when rinsing without the Lance, but with a low, mid, or higher end domestic washer, the quick wash and protect end result is the same

    Hello, thank you for guiding me about this Kanon foam. Does this Kanon foam work well with these two nozzles, 1.1 and 1.25, with any 180 bar pressure device, and there is no problem, or do we have to buy the 1.35 nozzle separately?

    • @RichManPoorTech
      @RichManPoorTech  7 месяцев назад

      the 2 x nozzles come with the canon, smaller helps with lower pressure machines larger works fine with the k5-k7, you can always lower the pressure of the machine, as its not necessary for full pressure to was the car. but i use it at full pressure, just clean out the gun when finnished

    Can you comment or describe how you clean up the drive afterwards? Some reviews suggest that the snow foam can stick around for days... I heard that fabric softener helps dissolve it? (I would probably only use the first stage for interim washes, my wife has more faith in the car valets at the local supermarket for a proper cleaning, sigh...)
    I ask because I don't have a drive and would be doing this on the road/pavement outside my house. As I'm near a school I don't want to create a skid patch/injury lawyer paradise!!

      If you use a thiner foam, changing gun flow, (as shown with the K4 on the side) this helps it disappear quicker, also if you jet wash over the foam the added water will also help it disappear

    Hi, assume you’re using the highest pressure for the foam applications.. but what pressure do you use to rinse the car? I have a K5 but don’t want to risk damage to my paintwork.

    • @RichManPoorTech
      @RichManPoorTech  11 месяцев назад +1

      Personally as i use to use pressure washers that were a pain to change the pressure as they didn't have adjustable lances like this, I still use full pressure but i stand with enough space from tip of the nozzle to the car, this gives a wide fan, which speeds up cleaning, but also dissipates the pressure of the spray compared to being close up, the further away you are the less pressure is applied to what you are cleaning,

      Thank you for your comment, I mentioned in the video at 2:13 about dilution of the product, as for the canon only being 25% filled, it depends on the car you are washing, I had enough product in to wash that Volvo v90 which is a large car, a smaller car you would use even less, a van maybe more, With the Mjjc canon having a weighted suction tube it can suck products right from the bottom of the cannon, no point in wasting product, also with correct dilution and using the correct amount, the autoglym products do go along way

    Can you tell me, on K7 what setting did you use. Cant get tick foam and its using solution pretty fast. On 1 I got best result but still not tick. One thing I figured out, when using without gun, it goes to foam mode and it starts pulling air trough shampoo inlet on pressure washer so I also tried tapping nozzle so it doesn't take air trough it as it is taking it trough snow lance.

    • @RichManPoorTech
      @RichManPoorTech  Год назад

      On all the pressure washers I am using full power pressure model mode, not detergent mode, the suction you feel on the tube in detergent mode is supposed to be there to suck detergent in if your not using a foam cannon, I don’t recommend that as it takes ages to get clean water for rinsing again,
      I don’t know if your using a mjjc foam cannon but make sure that there is no soap blockage from previous uses and not being cleaned through, try adjusting flow on the cannon and nozzle width to see if that helps check that any air inlet to the cannon bottle isn’t blocked, check that the foam is diluted to correct ratio as well

    • @Vrbisimus
      @Vrbisimus Год назад

      @Rich Man Poor Tech mjjc, it switches after few seconds to normal mode (preasure, not mix for soap) but if I go on full power, the flow is to strong it simply rinses everything of car, on 1 is max. I used koch chemie GSF and did like 60ml to 1l. They say 20 to 1l but that is to little. I watched so many wideos of mjjc and GSF, foam was like shaving cream, cant get anything like that and If I put more detergent, that doesn't make sense.

    Great video! The only thing I’d probably do instead is when finishing each panel with the contact wash, I’d probably rinse off the mitt to make sure I’m not trailing dirt around. Also, would you recommend using the polar seal if I have a ceramic coating or would that be defeating the purpose or a ceramic coating

    • @RichManPoorTech
      @RichManPoorTech  2 года назад +1

      As I’ve not used a ceramic coating myself I don’t have the experience to give you a definitive answer, the polar seal is a good sealer protector but my understanding of a ceramic coating is that it’s a hard smooth shell that stops dirt from adhering to,
      I would imagine that the polar seal would just wash off but I’m sure that a channel like forensic detailing may be able to help you further sorry wish I could help you more

    After adding the wax sealer you then rub with a towel. On the instructions it says to hose off first then dry . Why?
    Also you say leave the snow foam on for 3 minutes yet Autoglem Reccomended leaving it for 10 mins. Otherwise I like the video and look forward to seeing more. I like the foam cannon and will be buying one I have 2 , both under £20 and they are rubbish . One leaked after 6 months the other is new and won’t foam up properly so is going back cheers

    • @RichManPoorTech
      @RichManPoorTech  2 года назад +1

      You are correct with the instructions which is always best to follow
      but Before I read the instructions I saw someone saying wipe off and save time and water, as water will just be repelled, so that’s how I started using the product myself and used on countless cars
      also not everyone will be using microfibre towels
      I’ve tried both ways with little to no difference I think the recommendation is so that the sealer dose not dry in globs and washing off first would stop that, again with the snow foam I personally find it’s more to stop drying on the car, if it’s hot then wash off sooner before it dries if it’s colder and in shade or under cover then it can be left longer.
