I have always been curios about the foam blasters that you can connect directly to your garden hose. So i decided to test a few of them out to see just how much foam they get. Its definitely no foam cannon, but they do provide some foaming which is great as a prewash if you dont have a pressure washer near by. ENJOY!!!

I have the chemical guys one, and it's really only useful for turning lots of soap into suds on the ground... Seems like a genius business model for them
I’ve had the same results with that foam gun. Waste of money.
Same here and their Canon gun too. The Canon doesn't make nearly as thick of foam as the ones he uses here with the 1.1 orfice swap! I'm so disappointed because that chemical guys one was about 80 where the mjjc is 68 and the cheap Amazon is like 20 bucks or less! I ordered the mjjc and have plenty of 1.1 orfices, now I gotta wait til it gets here
@@ericinfante1885 The chemical guys foam blaster was the first purchase I made for my truck washing kit. I tried to convince myself I didn't need a pressure washer and a foam canon, and while that's technically true - an electric pressure washer (I have the Active/Cat 1800 PSI) and a foam canon (I now have the MTM PF22.2) are very impressive time savers. If you're watching this video it means you're probably considering one of these and trying to convince yourself that the 50$ here is better spent than the 150-300 for a pressure washing setup... save your time (and possibly a little money in the future) and just get a decent pressure washer (I hear the >$80 WEN is pretty good) and the MJJC Pro foam canon (with a 1.1 orifice) and you'll be good to go.
(EDIT: I replied to Eric, but this comment is really for everyone else)
@@kylegeldmaker I have the craftsman 2100 psi 1.2gpm he reviewed here as well! Works amazing, I had the greenworks pro 3000 psi forgot the gpm and while it was good it wasn't any better than the craftsman and costed about 3x more. It broke down withing my 3rd use brand new! Horrible customer back and forth service and the craftsman has been an absolute pleasure and reliable machine for 4 months now! I have the torq foam cannon from chemical guys and an Amazon one and both don't make as thick of foam even tho I swapped the orfice with a 1.1?! Not sure what's up but I think it might also be cuz the internals of the cannon might have build up that affects its optimum foaming ability so I'm going to have to replace them with a cheap one until my mjjc cannon pro arrives in November, they didn't have fast shipping available
I use the Chemical Guys Torq "gun"...But its for my dogs shampoo. Its actually great for washing dogs since I can spray and soap quicker before he starts shaking it off.
Yes I would like for you to try more because they just seem interesting and it would be nice to find one that produces a lot of foam
Thanks for testing these options! I don’t have a pressure washer right now, and my personal vehicle cleaning I was interested in these foam gun tests.
I ended up getting the Sudmagic one, it’s pretty freaking amazing from something using a garden hose. Thanks for the review & comparison!
ok, thanks for saving me 20 min of this guy rambling on
I have one that’s called suds n spray that I got from Walmart a few years ago and it works decent, I don’t use it much now that I have a foam cannon, thanks Josh 👍😁
I bought a Adam's Standard Foam Gun and it just creates runny soap. Used it once and threw it in the trash. Watched some of your videos and ended buying a CAT Electric Pressure Washer with a MJJC Foam Cannon PRO, UBERFLEX Hose and quick connects. Thanks for the great videos.
Thanks for sharing. The second one definitely is the way to go of the three.

So do you recommend a hose powered foam cannon? Chemical Guys?
I shop at Harbor Freight GRANT'S
Extreme Foaming Spray Gun and honestly it works very well, it produces enough foam for a simple car wash.
I also have the HF Grants works and gives a decent amount of foam.
How many oz of soap do you put into yours? I put 2 oz and add some water. It’s ok.
@@davidsteckley8846 Depending on the brand of shampoo, 2 to 4 Oz. and it foams quite well, for a basic wash.
Good day I watch a lot of your videos and get a lot of good Intel and products reviews I was watching this one and I noticed a capture tarp underneath the car in the background I was just wondering what make it was and how you like it as I am an owner of a detail shop in Nova Scotia Canada. I thank you very much
I really dig your videos, I have pressure washer and foam cannon but I live in nyc and I have to wheel it to the curb and run a cord out there and it’s too much hassle, got a adams foam gun in a bundle.
I'd consider getting one of these if I wanted to wash before sun-up and didn't want to upset my neighbors with my power washer. But honestly, I have yet to see a test of any of these that makes them worth spending the money on. I'd be willing to bet the majority of people that get these think they'll be getting megafoam like from a pressure cannon, and are ultimately disappointed. Thanks for the demo though, Josh.
Agreed
I have one and just use more soap and it is much more impressive.
I think most of us use a pressure washer and foam cannon however, these foam guns come in very handy when you just want to do a maintenance wash on a car that is already in very good shape i.e. once a week washes and you don't want to drag the big stuff out.
@@parkerstewart1981 what foam gun do you have?
@@jamesb8619 the platinum foam cannon from Walmart
Would useing concentrated soap make a difference in the first one? Seems like it only draws a small amount of soap thruw the straw. So haveing a soap and water mixture in the bottle makes it very "watery". Can you test this?
Curious what your water supply PSI is. I have 62 PSI out of my garden hose. Wondering if available pressure makes a difference.
Great video thank u I was considering buying thos kind of gun bit after those tests pressure foam guns wins 100%
I liked the one in the middle sudz one. I try to get people to stop ruining their paint in tunnel car washes. So would make a good gift. People won't want to spend $200 to wash their cars.
On a separate note, you need a black car for your tests. Great video as always
Is the Grants from Harbor Freight a better choice if just using a garden hose?
Which foam cannon would you choose as far as the quality and the foam MTM or MJJC? Thanks 🙏
So very helpful for a newbie! Thank you. Will skip the Chemical Guy’s Foam Blaster 6, maybe, in lieu of Sud-Magic or Adams? (I have found both, but which is best?). Looking around, however, I found Foamaster @ AutoGeek (previously Wolfgang?), and wondered if it was even better yet. Seems I’m still learning!
Really, too, want the most foam. The Touareg really throws heavy grime all over the back. This senior can’t do it that often. Will you advise on the foamiest (for presoak) shampoo, possibly, please?
what type of spray bottles are to be used? where do you recommend they be bought? RESPECT!
I have never seen more foam every before. These whatdoyacalits are amazing. They are genius. More soap than a car wash for sure :)
Josh I have an Amazon basics foam gun with a mckillans washer and Pink hooked up to my pressure washer with the small orrifice but don’t get any foam unless I turn the soap canister upside down. What the heck am I doing wrong?
can you try the adams premium foam gun?
After watching this I'd still prefer Chemical Guys Torq foam gun over these. I use the highest setting, but there's a dial on the CG foam gun that controls how foamy you want the soap to be. It's been pretty reliable, but I've switched to using a pressure washer now. So I don't use the CG foam gun as much. But if you don't have a pressure washer, the CG foam gun is the way to go.
Hopefully I have similar results. I got the chemical guys foam gun to hold me over while I save up for a decent pressure washer and foam cannon.
Just out of curiosity, what will happen if you connect these garden hose foam guns to a pressure washer? Does it just break apart since they aren't made for that psi?
I wonder if someone tapped a threading for a 1.4mm orifice in the sud magic, if it would produce more pressure and get more foam??
Please show us applying car was foam soap thru a HVLP paint gun. Interested in the results.
I used a couple of these for quite awhile after opening my shop until someone gifted me a pressure washer. I picked up one at Harbor Freight for like $20 that actually worked well for me for months. shrug, I now use a Griot's garage foam cannon that is obviously far superior but they did work ok.
Harbor Frt , one works pretty well 👌🏼
Harbor freight sells griots garage hose foam cannon now for 20$ I looked at auto zone and it was 50$!
for the best results use thick soap like gold class and dont put much water in it
I would like to see more including the chapin g5502 from Lowe’s. Their video shows lots of foam but OEM videos can sometimes be misleading.
I have the Grant's foam gun from harbor freight and it performs well for me. Suds very well with hyper wash from meguiars.
What garden hose do you use? I’m new to this
@@leojohnwayne1422 just a standard hose. 5/8s I think
@@martymccord9875 thanks I’m about to purchase a flexzilla hose
@@leojohnwayne1422 awesome. I have been wanting to pick one up myself to hopefully prevent kinks
@@martymccord9875 yes that’s what I heard.
By the would u recommend a blower to dry off or a towel if so what brand?
Have you ever thought about decaf?
Great channel! I am seriously considering a Ryobi PW with the “upgrades” you suggest. As for foam guns, I was surprised how bad the ones in your video worked. I have only ever used a Gilmour foam gun and it produces substantially more foam than the ones in your video. If you are interested in showing your viewers better preforming models, that work does work. They have more than one model, mine is the one that shows visible brass. It looks just like the Wolfgang model.
Harbor Freight has one by "Grants" at about 16 dollars and its just O.K. And do they recommend pure soap in the bottle because of the high water volume?
I have the Grant's one. Works great for me with meguiars hyper wash. For me its equal performance to the second one he used in this video
I bought one made by griot's from advance auto for those times i don't want to drag out the pressure washer. I want my $30 back. What I didn't notice is the nozzle/sprayer to foam gun connection is plastic on plastic. It's exceedingly difficult to get it to actually connect. Sooner rather than later, I'll be buying one with a metal on metal connection.
This is my experience with that one as well. Just bought it on a whim so I could get away with pulling out the pressure washer. I mean it sorta foams, but it's a wet foam. It just can't aerate well enough.
@@jeremiahgaskins7205 agreed. It foams. Would probably be like 2nd place in this vid. It just blows through product (I can't even get my entire Chrysler 300 covered without refilling), and is more trouble than it's worth in general
The Sudmagic is on sale at Amazon for $27 currently
I have a simonez one that works fine for 12.99
Jax wax has one that works good
Why I'm I so obsessed putting one ounce of Wolfgang red in with my honey dew foamer
The size hose you use is critical. He’s using one of those coil hoses which provides very low pressure. You can see when he’s spraying, I can piss with more pressure than that… 😅 I have one of these and it works very well, but I use a 3/4” hose with 70psi pressure..
Foam guns create a wet foam and foam cannons create a dry foam
For the first time I'd say the Chemical Guys foam gun is the best. I just threw up in my mouth saying that 🤯
Guess theres no good alternatives to a true pressure washer. Thanks
I think you don’t get as much foam because the higher flow rate dilutes the soap too much.
test the Chemical Guys Torq Foam Gun
I use a garden hose foamer. Not bad. Best option I have for now. Hey Josh, Gilmour makes one that has good Brass fittings on it. Probably the Best garden hose foamer i have seen; very pricey though. Great video!
sud magic you say I am not sure if you noticed this but I am a fire equipment researcher that nozzle looks like it is an aereated type nozzle in fire fighting such a nozzle would be used to create a fire suppressant called low expansion foam dish soap is an example of a product that could be used as a firefighting foam your welcome for me expanding your brain
i want to buy such equipment ,i am in cambodia
What's going on Josh love you videos bro
Put warm water in bottle when mixing x
Only way to get them to somewhat “foam” is to put pure soap in there which is honestly way too expensive of a way to wash the car
try some steel wool
Try just using soap with out adding water see if that makes a difference
Yea it probably would… but then the problem is how much product you are using
Wow. These don’t seem that great. I have a Griots Garage water hose foam gun and it makes quite an impressive layer of sticking foam compared to these showed. I use either Mothers Carnuba wash and wax, Griots Brilliant shine, or Jay Leno’s Garage Wash and wax and it makes fantastic foam with all 3. I use it when I can’t use a pressure washer and I have been impressed with it. Highly recommended the Griot’s foam gun for those who don’t want or have a pressure washer.
Tldw: no. The second to last one.. super Suddsy.. but no..
I have the torq one and it’s trash.
Yes it is😂😂
yea none of them perform very well. It "technically" foams but no where near an actual foam cannon
Launches is into a lengthy commercial for his sponsor skil something right at the start. Then he reviews three no name guns. He is a sponsor pawn.
Doesn't matter the foam doesn't clean without a wipe. Let foam sit clean move on.
20 minute video, about 45 seconds of actual usage and drum roll......they all suck. 40k views, 619 likes. Says it all.
yea but it did save me from wasting money on all of these, so there is that :)
ALL JUNK. AND LET THE MANUFACTURER KNOW THAT I SAID SO.
Dude those all sucked.
So basically crap
Junk!
Not impressed by anyone of them.
Me neither really
These are useless. Thanks for letting us know.
Yea it useless for car washing.. i'd ended up using those to bath my dogs with undilluted soap in the bottle.. it works perfect for that to spread soap evenly..
Video sucks. Should have taken a break. If you’re mad about some thing really comes off through you.
Sorry you didnt like the video.. I wasnt upset about anything so im not sure what youre referring to
