AMMO Foam Paint Cleanser vs The Super Soaper – Best Soap for Foam Cannons?
We tested both to see which foam cannon soap gives you thicker foam, better cleaning, and safer results on ceramic coatings.
Foam Paint Cleanser is one of AMMO NYC’s most popular products. It’s designed to work in a foam cannon and promises safe, effective cleaning without harming protection layers. But how does it stack up against The Super Soaper—a modern, ceramic-safe alternative made for today’s detailing process?
This comparison is based on real-world testing for foam quality, cleaning power, and surface safety.
Foam Thickness and Cling
AMMO Foam Paint Cleanser:
- Foams decently but thinner than expected
- Drips quickly on vertical panels
- May require higher soap-to-water ratio to get dense foam
The Super Soaper:
- Thick, rich foam that clings like shaving cream
- Great dwell time for pre-soak and contact wash
- Works in foam cannon and pump sprayer setups
Cleaning Performance
- AMMO: Gentle on paint, but sometimes struggles with road film and bugs
- Super Soaper: Removes grime and traffic film without stripping wax or ceramic
Super Soaper is noticeably more aggressive on dirt while staying safe for all finishes—including coatings and trim.
Surface Safety
Both soaps are pH balanced and safe on coatings, but The Super Soaper also adds lubrication to reduce swirl risk during contact washing—especially when paired with a soft contact towel.
Price and Value
- AMMO: Premium pricing for smaller bottle size
- Super Soaper: Lower price per ounce, concentrated formula, more uses per bottle
