I bought a cheap foam cannon from amazon as well. I've used it over 100 times already and it still works perfectly fine. In reality you only need 1-2 oz of soap and about a quarter of the bottle filled with water and I got some crazy foam. Have used this technique in all of the cars I've detailed and even when doing larger vehicles
Like mentioned above. You only need about 1/2 the bottle with water. I use CG mr pink and get great results with similar setup
Dose it fit any jet washer
And the foam does what ? Looks cool , so what the hey.
Matthew Jackson loosens stuck on debris so when you rinse it, it washes away and leaves your car squeaky clean
Does that mean you don't have to scrub your car? For light dirt obviously, not caked or baked on stuff. Or does it break that down too?😁
Used the same 1.1mm orifice mod on my amazon foam cannon. And CG Honeydew Snowfoam, awesome results.
Thanks for showing the mod. I kept hearing people talk about this mod but I had no idea what they were talking about. Now I do.
Other than getting the hose connector turned around (watch out for that one), the machine is simple to put together and use ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQauTxLT0JLSvqkq10rD79TU4k0Vz8zP . And very nice, too. I'm surprised at the power-it's more than we'll ever need, and we've not even used the most powerful setting yet.I've cleaned off a dirty concrete porch to get it ready for sealing, started to clean siding, and I know this pressure washer will be terrific for cleaning tools this fall.The only issue we had is we had turned around the hose connector, and it leaked. Once it was on correctly, though, we had no problems with the connection. Just remember that the end with the green knob goes towards the hose. It's obvious now what we did wrong, but not necessarily obvious at the time.
Ordered this setup thanks to you. Works great 🤟🏻
Good video. I have same foam cannon and was considering buying a more expensive one. But I'll try this mod first.
Loving the intro! 🙌🙌🥰🥰
Dude! YES, thats a super cheap fix that makes it so much better. Also I really like the two B-Roll shots you 3:02 Keep up the great work!
Still too expensive for me. Read my comment. Got my done for zero dollar.
Bro I just got this foam cannon but at the time you connected to the pressure washer it doesnt attach kinda well, it leaks water from the quick connector. Did you use some white tape to seal it?
Can you provide a link to an adaptor to make the lance wand quick connect fit the soap cannons? The sun joe spx3000 doesn’t fit standard foam cannon connections.
Thanks for also showing the orifice swap install itself. Plus citing 16 for wrench size.
Awesome thanx just ordered
Great video man! I just ordered this!
Perfect solution to my issue. Thx for the video. 💯👊
No problem 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent Mod. Thanks.
Nice video 👍🏼
If you swapped in a 1.1 then you most likely had a 1.25 installed on the first test. The 1.1 orifice is made for lower psi washers so it doesn’t get quite as much water
YEP ^
My washer is 70PSI with a max of 105PSI, should i use 1.25 or 1.1 ?
@@nahuel2222 1.1
@@nahuel2222 You don't have a pressure washer......you have a garden hose.....the water system from my city is higher pressure than that unless you are using some different system of pressure measurement.
@@Taylexwow he prob ment bar not psi
hi does this work for MATCC Foam Cannon Adjustable Snow Foam Lance for SPX Series Pressure Washer?
I noticed adding water first is better then your soap but any recommendations on when i use my foam cannon it comes out to strong like my pressure washer is on full blast
i just ordered the 1.1 orfice for mine Thank you
do you know the thread size of the quick fitting? is it 14mm??
I am waiting for the bosch easy aquatak 120bar to be delivered....and i have the meguiar's snow foam cannon .... !!! Will i have a good result for car wash??
I’m no chemist, but the foam thickness doesn’t mean better cleaning power. The soap also has something to do. I did that mod. Yes the foam is thicker, but it doesn’t remove more dirt than before. Thanks for the video. Wash your hat or better yet, throw it out.
I think the idea is that thicker foam is less runny and liquid and thus stays longer in place to work its magic on the dirt. But I think you’re right in saying that the type of soap used is important too
Where can I find the stainless steel piece?
When I use my phone Cannon the pressure washer stop and go stop and go and it's not coming out at an angle and I did the modification I'm new to this if someone help me?
Hey anyone know a cost effective source for the replacement bottles? snapped mine, company cites their $20 plastic bottle is back ordered. Has to be a standard size available?
Badass video bro
after you foam it what do you do next
I typically use 3 oz of soap and fill up half the bottle. No real need to fill whole bottle up and I get really good results. I also have same pressure washer but bought a chemical guys foam cannon and then upgraded to that smaller piece.
Thanks to this video, just pulled the trigger on this orifice, the Amazon cannon, and a SunJoe SPX4000. Thank you for the top quality intro to a killer budget car wash setup, Blake! Looking forward to using it on my '90 325i sedan and '07 E92.
Sweet!!! It will make your life so easy
Will that set up work on a electric Green works 2000psi?
Where did you get that new fitting?
Just started checkin out these foam cannons after 5 vids ,read the directions pressure and gpm determine orifice size
Yup. The manufactures of pressure washers must really love these "experts" giving advice. Why mess with a good thing when people are shortening the life of their pressure washers lol.
That said, many of these small garbage pressure washers do work and need a 1.1mm orifice. But still, people should really look in a table to find what they actually need.

With what towek do you dry the car?
New subscriber broh thanks for Sharing!
Cleanest passenger fender after that video was done lol
Did the one you removed have an o ring on it?
Not even through the video yet, just needed to stop and thumb up the use of ‘No Quarter’ - dope!
Thanks buddy
I realize I'm a bit late here. Been out sailing the seas on Navy Aircraft Carriers. Retired now and got more ME-Time. You sold me on the Orifice replacement. Great Video!
Thank you for your Service to our Country in defense of our Freedoms.
Thank you! I was about to get the exact same washer only the model w out the hose reel. Have you tried the other soaps? Great video
I haven’t. Mostly because I’ve yet to run out of the gallon I purchased about two years ago.
@@BlakesGarage thanks for the update ! I put in my order, I'll let you know!!
Have the same pressure washer. Got pretty good results in foam with meguires gold class. Switched to chemical guys stuff. Not as much foam so I'm eager to try this
Now this is a strong beard 💪
whats a good electrical pressure washer to do semi truck ? something not super expensive but effecient and can connect that foam cannon too and water to wash it off later
It would definitely do the job you can also buy a wand extension to get higher easier also.
Thanks for this info. I'm going out tomorrow and get the Ryobi 1,900 PSI electric sprayer.
OK I got a bear force Lance cannon 😳 how can I hook it up to my garden hose??
Problems with all the links in the description that I tried. I didn't try them all. Any tips?
I have the same Foam Cannon but I feel that it uses a lot of shampoo, I have to fill the bottle two and three times to be able to foam the entire car...... Any suggestions???
Hey are any of the sun Joe pressure washers good? I am looking at the smaller one right now and the one from harbor freight. Or is it better to just get the newer version of this sun joe in your opinion?
Don't want anything too big since I'm military and I'm moving around a lot.
No they are not.
Blake recommend to exchange the orifice universal 1.1m screw costing about over 7.00 + shipping on Amazon. I am frugal so I went get me a short piece of Nichrome wire, cut a short lenght then insert into the orifice bent the wire to a 90 so it mate flat into the grove slot of the screw and that is it. The new reduce hole diameter will do the job. My way to save money and get result.
Do you need to put a new O-ring on the new orifice?
Blake, what was the size of the orifice you removed from the cannon to replace with the 1.1 mm oriface? There are a few cheap knockoffs of this same cannon and maybe they're not all built equal. Mine is an MATCC and the orifice I removed, after buying the one recommended here, looks like it has an identical hole size. I guess it doesn't make sense to remove one part if the "upgrade" part is the same.
1.3mm was the stock size most foam cannons come with this size. It’s very hard to tell the difference as it’s not much smaller but it makes a huge difference.
oh hell yeah!!!! awesome. Positive Flow.
Do I need an adapter if I use that spray cannon and that pressure washer to allow it to fit together? Or is this all I need? Thanks
That’s all you need it all connects together 👍🏼
We're do you get that at
I have the same foam cannon, don’t have a wand but it connects right to the gun of my pressure washer, tried spraying it and water shot out, tried twisting the nozzle as well as the twisting thing on top and pure water, any recommendations ?
Take it apart something maybe clogged or linked in the soap feed area. I've never had an issue with mine.
The 1.1mm orifice clogged within 30 seconds for me (using Stanley 2150psi 1.4gpm electric pressure washer). The stock orifice works flawlessly.
I notice when you first start foaming with either orafice, the spray pattern is crazy wide, then you cut the video and then the spray is much narrower. What did you do?
Just spun the tip to dial in the spray pattern to what makes the best foam.
Just wondering about one thing. I have 2 foam cannons (one is for just in case). With both on them, I've had the cannon on a vice with a long wrench on the quick connect. These things are so torqued on, they absolutely refuse to budge. How did you get yours loos the first time you did this?
They are more than likely fitted with loctite. Stick the quick release fitting in boiling water for two minutes, then it should be easier to loosen while hot. No need to dunk the whole thing in the water, just hold it in vertically so that the water submerges the connector fully.
What is your psi, or litres per minute
What a cool video! Did not even think you could hack it haha I will copy your idea! Thanks for the tip.
Intro was Sick👍🏾
Thanks man!!
whats your ride ? make and model ?? Nice
That’s a mikuni jet I have quite a few. Did you bigger on the jet or smaller ?
I really hate it when good questions like yours don't get answered :(
Could you tell me please, will the foam canon be still affective if the plastic pipe, that is in the bottle, will be much more longer?
the tube in the bottle should likely be slightly longer than the bottle itself so that full screwed in it bends to the side. That lets u get the last bit out easier. If your talking about hooking up plastic aquarium tubing to move the heavy bottle off your wand it would prolly work but the soap solution would take a while to siphon up the tube before it reaches your tube which is a bit of a hassle imo
Thanks
I'm trying to focus my eyes on the foam cannon but it keeps on focused with the beammer lol
Thanks! Hope it works.
I like this soap and have the same foam cannon. You may need to adjust the + and - on the top...I get thicker foam than this with mine consistently. I have a ryobi pressure washer so nothing much different in that realm.
I have the ryobi 1800psi and i cant get good foam for the life of me
Does the orifice need to flush all the way down or just till it's tight? Because the orifice I have won't go down it stops half way..
Just until it seats and it should be fine.
Why y’all hating it’s clearly thicker than before. He didn’t say “this is the thickest foam ever” no he was just stating that it was thicker than before which it definitely was
Why did your foam stream start out with a wide fan and the next I saw a narrow fan spray about 30 deg ?
I presume he just adjusted it. Personally, I think it's best to spray the side panels using in a horizonal orientation if the cannon allows rotation. Spraying vertically (especially if wide) wastes so much product on the ground and shooting over the car. The front, top, and rear of the vehicle is idea for vertical spray.
I love your RUclips channel
I noticed a lot of the 1.1 mm brass orifices sold on Amazon are also including a stainless steel mesh filter many call the “foam maker”… I wonder how much of a difference replacing that mesh filter makes?
I noticed no difference between the filter that it comes with and the replacement. They look the same. It is nice in case it gets completely clogged.
Mine came with 4 nozzles and a black one. Does that mean I can spray 35-35 ft with the right nozzle? What ration water to soap? I want to soft spray my blackened roof. Thanks
Yeah I believe you talking about the pressure washer not the foam cannon.
This trick works!!!
Does this modify work with pressure washer under 100bar ? (i used karcher k2 which is had only 90bar)
Yes helps on any low psi washer
Great video ! But this might sound lame of me to ask ,,but I got the sj 1000 and I bought a foam canon but I can't seem to take the wand apart to connect the damn canon
Dont remove the wand. Just attach the cannon at the end of the wand like you do with a nozzle.
Adjust your spray pattern. It’s to wide. You’re putting half the foam on the ground.
Thanks for the video, I will have to go this route. I have a chemical brothers store not far from me so was wondering if I should buy one of their guns or like you did just a cheap one online.
Your car was already clean ;-)
I would put the hot water in the cannon first and then add the snow foam soap. Great video! I just got me a 1.1 and can’t wait to try it out. You have to get a short gun it is SO much easier!!
Here's a question. What do you think that happens when all that cold water flowing though that lance hits that small amount of warm water? Some very thick soaps will dilute a bit better in hot water, but other than that, it doesn't do anything.
Helps the soap mix with the water@@AB-80X
I also bought a 1.1 orifice and it’s too small, just keeps on turning. So frustrating
Check out nerta active diamond foam, find it quit good. rinse all the dirts out with about 5% mixture.. My fav prewash foam
That Zeppelin is a nice touch
Thanks for the tip. Just ordered one, hopefully I see a change. I pay way to much for my foam cannon soap not to get the most out of it.
I bought this 1.1mm oriface for an MATCC foam cannon and when I removed the original oriface and compared it to the "upgrade" part, the hole sizes looked identical.
@@Coelacanth97 yeah I noticed it was the same size as well. I think there was no point in buying this.
Did u ever update ur hose on sun joe or u still rocking stock one
Still rocking the stock one.
Do you know if the sunjoe can be swapped? I bought it from homedepot and I ripped up the box so now i am stuck with it
If you have a receipt you don't need a box to return to home depot
Also try using distilled water in the bottle.
$1 per gallon from dollar stores.
You’ll see even more foam
I use my foam cannon with my Karcher eco-although it's not set on the eco-mode it doesn't do a bad job took it to my buddy's place changed the end put it on his petrol pressure washer wow what a difference with the form so it also has to do with the amount of pressure coming through Took it back to mine change the end again put it on my Karcher not to good .. took it back to his did the same thing wow
Do you still have to hand wash it?
Any idea if this works for the foam cannon chemical guys sells? I have the same pressure washer and the foam isn’t as thick as I’d like.
It literally looks like the exact same snow cannon. I think there bottle is different and they probably replaced the jet. But hey it’s five buck on amazon what could it hurt to try.
Blake's Garage sounds legitness. Thanks for the reply man. Love the Chanel. I also have a e30 for autocross so I really appreciate the DIY videos. Keep em coming.
Adjust the top nozzle for foamier soap
That's lit
I seen people say that it works good on low pressures but i run a 4500pst pressure washer and this 1.1 is not for me my pressure is 4.0 gpm and i do fleet cleaning so this works great for low pressures but it would suck at high pressures
Yes, and your point being? I would assume that rather than telling people that it does not work in your machine, you would tell them where and how to find the info on what orifice sizes they need and how to find out.
I genuinely hope that if you wash cars with that machine, you use something like a 060 nozzle to lower that PSI, unless you're washing busses or vans.
My own orrifice is 1.0mm if i change it to 1.1mm does it work?
No. Find a 1.0 for the foam cannon.
I bought this orifice for my proklean cannon,but it didn,t work properly.Any info,guys?Is it a particular 1.1mm orifice for a Karcher k2
Just buy the foam cannon I recommended and put it in that. Problem solved for $15 👍🏼
Led Zep in the intro?? Dig it... the tongue twister too.
I am confussecd, is this only washing the car, but not waxing it?
So is the new orifice smaller or bigger than the stock orifice?
Smaller
I appreciate this video, along with your others, but I'm not sure why the fluffier foam is better. I get that it LOOKS better, but I can't think of a way it gets your car cleaner. It seems like the mod just increases the amount of air that gets mixed into the soap. If so, how does that clean better, at least after a certain minimal point?
It reminds me of how the shaving cream companies used to sell their shaving foam - advertising how thick it lathered. It took me years to realize how much better it was to use a little soapy water and a brush.
but are you sizing up or down the nozzle hole size?
The whole is smaller increasing pressure and allowing less water GPM flow.
