This video is a massive load of shit. Theres numerous videos on youtube that contradict this standalone bullshit youtuber. Bet anything he added more soap to the cheap ass one.
I’ve had that same exact cheap one for 12 bucks for the last 3 years works perfect as always just got done using it this morning and it’s still a beast ordered it off of amazon I’ve done well over 100+ car washes with different cars never got bad feedback from a customer 🤟🏽
I have that amazon foam cannon. I have used it weekly for three years, still works fine. You do need to mix it here and there and is a bit in consistent,but over all is great.
AWSOME TIP: When searching on Amazon for this cheap foam cannon buy the cheapest one. All the vendors use the same foam cannon but just stamp their branding on it.
Don’t fall for any of Chemical Guys or Adams crap when they try to sell you that $12 one for $80+. Literally the only difference is they just put their sticker on them and charge a premium, its the EXACT SAME. I bought a cheap one and did the 1.1mm orifice mod and it foams the same if not better than those mtm ones. If you have a pressure washer that isn’t as powerful just get the cheap one and do the orifice mod and you’ll get insane amounts of foam. Save yourself a weeks worth of grocery’s
Zak Deckich so basically the only difference between a $90 foam cannon and a $10 one is a little orifice inside the sprayer of the foam cannon. The smaller the orifice, the more foam gets produced. You can get them for like $7 on Amazon and all you need to install it is like pliers and a flat head screw driver. Look it up on RUclips there’s several good videos on it
Zak Deckich i would Google it to see what orifice is best for your pressure washer, going the smallest isn’t always the best from experience. Me and my brother got one that is best suited for our pressure washer and it foamed up way better than the smaller one. Best choice Is find out how strong your pressure washer is and find out what’s the best size for that much pressure 👍🏻
I've been using the cheap one from Amazon for a couple of years now. The bottle is made of some hard plastic that breaks easily the first time you drop it. Not really a problem though, because you can use any 32 oz spray bottle to replace it - same threads. I bought a 2nd one just to have multiple soaps/chemical options depending on the use.
I ordered a pack of just bottles. Only the one that came with the gun broke after 4-5 months. Another 4-5 months later and the gun broke. Time to order another but I'll order several and keep 2 then sell the rest for like double the price.
I guess the expensive one will have more durability (I would expect), so it would be good for a detailer. But for someone like me who only needs to wash my own car I'm definitely going for the cheap one.
I’ve had the cheap one for about a year and I work everyday except sundays detailing cars and it’s never let me down yet..knock on wood .But I’ve loved it so far
@@dirtyboyjkable Amazon was about $15 .Just a couple of days ago I broke it by dropping it :(.The brass on top isn’t very strong but lasted a long time so I got another .It was some no name brand
Thanks for the comparison! Saw that MTM cannon while shopping for one a couple weeks ago. Decided on the cheaper Maatc foam cannon from Amazon and the 1.1mm orifice. You have a new sub!
Great video! Thank you for doing this comparison, I wanted one just for personal use and wasn’t sure about expensive vs. “cheap”. You have answered that question for me, thanks again. 👍🏻
The difference is someone made $88 extra dollars on their cannon. 10,000 sales X $12 = $120,000 VS. 10,000 sales X $100 = $1,000,000. Now can you see the difference, someone has an extra $880,000 bucks in their pocket
I have had an amazon foam cannon for like two years now and it's still going strong. Maintenance washes once a week and washing friends cars every once in a while. It has started to burn through soap and if I lower soap intake it's very thin foam. Overall I think it works perfect from your weekend warrior to DYI.
I have the cheap one. Paid $20 about 4 months ago. Use it about every other week. No issues so far. Do wish I could turn the spray part but really nothing I’m willing to pay more for.
Agree. It may be convenient but public safety is more important. Everyone thinks "It won't happen to me" until one day you go to turn the water off and take a piss and come back to a fire hose running through the holes where your windows used to be.
I must have gone through four or five cheap no-name foam guns before splurging on a pricy Italian one. The cheaply made ones either don't work well out-of-the-box, or they fail at the most inconvenient time without warning. Once, I came back to find my shelf dripping with liquid soap because the reservoir had developed a crack (???) while sitting unused. That was the last straw for me. My MTM is 2 years old and still works like new.
What's the spec of your pressure washer? I believe if you have a low GPM pressure washer, the cheap foam cannon won't work as good. Some people even need to change the orifice (1.1mm) to get some good foam!
I like how you pretreated the wheels and brought the foam in to keep her rollin. 🤙 Definitely a fellow Detail Jedi. Heheheh. You deserve the credit, eff the haters. I’m a Jimbo fan, Larry fan, maybe one other? Lol
I have the cheap one, I stripped the threads off the bottle by accident but discovered an Aquafina water bottle will actually screw onto it. It makes suds....what more do you want?
I hate that MTM gun the bottle design is horrible I cant get the darn thing to stand up irritates the crap out of me! You will get interior and fastener corrosion at some point for $99 it should be stainless steel like the Griots just my two cents. Thanks for the video Jimbo.
I think your assessment is on point. I think the manufacturer would argue theirs is better made - and that would likely prove true. However, how many people would uncover that truth...that's at the heart of the matter. I just threw down on the MTM because of a bad experience with a standard pressure washer. As usual, you get what you pay for. If it's not inconvenient when the cheap one fails, keep on re-upping...
My foam cannon lasted a year. Only broke one bottle. Cannon finally broke because I was careless and over twisted the neck. I'll just buy 2 more and be good for a long time.
My buddy and I have 4 of these cheap China foam cannons on the go in the shop... 2 running degreasers and 1 running straight car soap and 1 running car wash/wax soap. These things get used everyday, multiple times a day and they are awesome. All I've had to do is buy the 1.1mm orifices with the replacement foaming filters and they just keep on going. Not bad when you can rebuild these for $0.99 US dollars! I don't care how much you use these or how professional one says they are; any one of these foam cannons over $12 is a MASSIVE rip off and waste of hard earned dollars.
The most important thing VS these two isn’t the bottle! It’s the pressure washer you’re using. They sell “foam guns” that you attach to your hose. Those will NOT produce foam it’s more like bubbles. You’ll prob get better foam with either of these from a gas pressure washer but honestly all u need is the cheap one
Good video.mthe protruding "I don't know what you would call it " part isnthe nozzle. The round part on the top is the valve. The tip,is where the foam exits the nozzle.
I have had the cheap one for 5 years now. I live in the north east and with the salt and sand from winter I use it on a weekly basis and it still works great.
Hey. I really didn't see much difference and to be honest i would rather buy the cheaper foam gun as you get ten of them for the same money. Also, the more expensive foam gun missed a couple of spots. Lol. Anyway, thats my opinion and each to they're own. Take care.
you know whats funny the original mtm foam cannon has the "generic" look aswell, the pressure washer GPM matters more for foam if its lower like most inexpensive electric washers the orifice has to be changed out to a 1.1mm size its a 5$ part cant go wrong
But you SHOULDN'T use Armorall at all... It is a terrible product that will actually make your interior deteriorate faster. Use Meguiar's or Adam's Polishes or Chemical Guys dressings at least
Good video for those unsure which one will be best for their needs. I have cheap ones and the MTM PF22... for me quality wins. It's just a better experience with the MTM. Off topic here Looks like a a lot of space around there. Why park in front of the fire hydrant? That's irresponsible. I know we like to get in and out no matter but those risks just aren't worth it to me. Fines, getting stuck, possibly being the reason the FD can't do their job. Just a thought.
I didn't see any prejudice or over recommendation of an expensive one. I thought the test was fair and the recommendation based on your usage was spot on.
My cheapo unit has been running good and hard for a few years now. I probably have to tear it down maybe on a quarterly basis and clean the unit out real quick (quick blast of brake clean or carb clean on the inners) and it's back up and making me money
I haven't jumped onto the foam cannon band wagon...partly because I don't wanna have to break out a pressure washer EVERY time I wanna wash my cars. I've got a question though. It seems like it's a bad idea to spray foam mixed with water onto a dry car vs doing it the way I've been doing for years which is garden hose the whole car, bucket with a grit guard in the button and a good ol wash mitt. I'm not seeing the perk of foam other than it looks kinda cool. Opinion?
Foaming the car loosens the dirt and all the filth structure, due to making surface tension smaller. It's like prewashing. You just have less dust and smaller particles which can scratch the car during hand washing. But you should use it bottom to top ways, not like the guy on the video. ;)
Also shouldn't be scrubbing it after foaming. The way it's being used here is not the intention of a foam cannon. Wet, foam, spray and then mitt scrub.
Chris Robbins.....How much do u charge for each car? 3-5 cars a week doesn't sound like alot but if u make decent money off it then it makes perfect sense? I'm just asking cuz I'm almost ready to get my Auto detailing business up and running
Ciddyslicka Vasquez it all depends on whats getting done just a exterior wash and interior vacuum depending on the condition will be 50 wash claybar wax and sealant depending on the size of the car will run 250 for cars or 300 for trucks and than ceramic coatings ill charge over a grand just because the amount of time it takes to do it perfect honestly i focus mostly on performance cars i don’t really do just random kia’s and cars like that
133 80 its illegal and if a fire happens the fire department can break windows to get the hose through the car if your windows are right in front of it
I’ve had the cheap one for years now and it’s been great. Considering it has washed my cars over and over multiple times a week. I wouldn’t buy an expensive one at all.
Great video. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. If you want quality you spend the money. Trying to teach my wife that is another story though.
Lol.. but, the point of not parking in front of a Hydrant is in case of a fire, the water from the hydrant is accessible. He's there with the car.. though. 😑🙄
I went on Amazon and took a shot in the dark on a foam cannon. It was the EXACT same one as the chemical guys cannon. I paid $16.99. I get killer results. $16.99 for cannon and 6.99 for the better orfice for the valve and bam, you have a killer cannon that will perform better than chemical guys at 1/4 of the cost. I'd also like to add that I'm currently using the greenworks 1600psi electric pressure washer. Works fine.
MTM is an italian company but their products are made in the USA, its obvious too because the parts feel quality and it wont break when you drop it like the amazon one will.
My supplier for detail supplies&pressure washer repairs sold the "cheap" one but not for cheap @ $79&every other month would break, he'd fix it, charge me $20 until finally I found these on Amazon. My clients love seeing their cars covered in white suds, no 2 bucket method for me.
I bought the MTACC foam cannon from AMAZON for 20 bucks and it is amazing. Glad I DID NOT fall for chem guys "sticker" price. Love the MTACC cannon from AMAZON. Zero issues and I do many cars for the business.
Well cheap one is a clear winner, stand alone. It did a very good job to be honest I think it did a better job than the expensive one. Big difference in the price and the expensive one doesn't justify it's big price tag.
I bought the cheap foam cannon from amazon and swapped the orifice but it was still runny. I ended up getting the mtm pf22 foam cannon and there was a huge difference because I finally got the thick shaving cream foam. Both get the job done so it honestly really doesn’t matter but the mtm is made out of stainless steel and the cheap one is made out of brass. I just got the better one for marketing because customers love seeing that thicc foam and their story posts help attract more customers.
Wow 4 years ago Amazon had it down packed back then.....but with the MJJC PRO these days you can't go wrong . It's the best around , you probably have 1 by now ! ✌
It's comparable to led the headlight game, it's a crapshoot! Most often I will try the cheap option first and probably about 75 percent of the time it tends to be the right choice. Some things just can't be re-invented lol.
I didn't see a difference
Patrick Tuggles there isn’t any really. The $12 is more then fine
The question is do you see a 88$ difference :)
In my eyes the spray on the cheap was better..
Dusan Zec maybe long term!

Hell u can buy 10 for the price of one. So I'll go cheap wait till it go s bye bye then grab another.
William Eaton exactly what I was thinking
And then do what with plastic once it goes "bye bye"? - Consumerism has you all.
Or buy all 10 and keep 2 so you still have one when it quits. Then sell the other 8 for $20 each

Great job blocking the fire hydrant. If there is a fire the fire dept will break the window to the Tesla to apply the supply line. Would be funny!!!
Do you have a video on your compressor setup?
Think I’ll go with the $12 one all day long, if it just lasted the summer I’d get 10 years worth
It’s lasted me 6 months and hundreds of cars so far. Still going strong
Auto Detailing Podcast nice! Ya I believe I’d stick with that one lol
he soaked the first one with soap wayyy more than the second
I’ve had the cheap one for years now and it’s been great. Considering it has washed my cars over and over multiple times a week. I wouldn’t buy an expensive one at all.
Great video. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. If you want quality you spend the money. Trying to teach my wife that is another story though.
You illegally parked in front of Fire Hydrant just to make this vid... lol 😂
Lol.. but, the point of not parking in front of a Hydrant is in case of a fire, the water from the hydrant is accessible.
He's there with the car.. though. 😑🙄
Bs you used the second canon less then the first one I was able to tell right away
I rather buy the cheap one
I went on Amazon and took a shot in the dark on a foam cannon. It was the EXACT same one as the chemical guys cannon. I paid $16.99. I get killer results. $16.99 for cannon and 6.99 for the better orfice for the valve and bam, you have a killer cannon that will perform better than chemical guys at 1/4 of the cost. I'd also like to add that I'm currently using the greenworks 1600psi electric pressure washer. Works fine.
Since it's basically identical, I'm guessing the cost difference will show up in the reliability factor. That being said , i bought the cheaper one
Buy expensive, they eat out twice on your expense! LMFAO
Their BOTH MADE IN CHINA :}:}:}
MTM is an italian company but their products are made in the USA, its obvious too because the parts feel quality and it wont break when you drop it like the amazon one will.
@@martinigasolini4062 why you will drop it? You must have shit hands or parkinson for do that
@@martinigasolini4062 well if you break it you can buy 8 more for the price of the other one. Real hard choice
It's just foam dude 🤣🤣 why would you buy a 99.00 foam to put soap on a car.....hummm
My supplier for detail supplies&pressure washer repairs sold the "cheap" one but not for cheap @ $79&every other month would break, he'd fix it, charge me $20 until finally I found these on Amazon. My clients love seeing their cars covered in white suds, no 2 bucket method for me.
pc1967 ouch.
I bought the MTACC foam cannon from AMAZON for 20 bucks and it is amazing. Glad I DID NOT fall for chem guys "sticker" price. Love the MTACC cannon from AMAZON. Zero issues and I do many cars for the business.
Great to hear!
Tesla = Poor mans rich car 😂
HA! Truth, they are becoming the new Honda's in my neck of the woods.
Don't park in front of a Fire hydrant dummy.
Thank you captain obvious
@Auto Detailing Podcast Yet your dumbass still did it lmao. Also you can't wash your car on a public roadway genius. Real professional....
DrinkMDeveryDay lmao chill carwash officer
@@georgesmbyd6603 nice defense.
Well cheap one is a clear winner, stand alone.
It did a very good job to be honest I think it did a better job than the expensive one. Big difference in the price and the expensive one doesn't justify it's big price tag.
agreed. the cheap one last forever as well.
I bought the cheap foam cannon from amazon and swapped the orifice but it was still runny. I ended up getting the mtm pf22 foam cannon and there was a huge difference because I finally got the thick shaving cream foam. Both get the job done so it honestly really doesn’t matter but the mtm is made out of stainless steel and the cheap one is made out of brass. I just got the better one for marketing because customers love seeing that thicc foam and their story posts help attract more customers.
Sold me on the cheap one , new subscriber
Wow 4 years ago Amazon had it down packed back then.....but with the MJJC PRO these days you can't go wrong .
It's the best around , you probably have 1 by now !
✌
It's comparable to led the headlight game, it's a crapshoot! Most often I will try the cheap option first and probably about 75 percent of the time it tends to be the right choice. Some things just can't be re-invented lol.
I bought the cheap one over a year ago and still going strong!
Love the video jimbo, just subscribed!
Great info,my first time buying foam cannon. Will try the inexpensive one. Thanks
Well you will see the difference when you dilute the shampoo. But still not big enough to pay &$100.
Btw it's just only for £43 in UK 🤗
This video is so chill awesome choice in music
Who's playin?
Pedro Valenzuela what you mean ?
@@user-mf7tj6mt6v the music! Who's playin? Sounds nice!
