Best Foam Cannon for Touchless Car Washes

Want to safely wash your car without touching it? Let’s talk about the best foam cannon for touchless car washes — and how to get the thickest, safest foam possible!

Why Use a Foam Cannon for Touchless Washing?

Touchless car washing is all about reducing contact with your paint to avoid scratches and swirls. A foam cannon lets you blanket your vehicle in thick foam that lifts dirt and grime, so you can rinse most of it away without scrubbing.

But here’s the thing — not all foam cannons produce the same results. Cheap options often create watery, runny foam that doesn’t dwell on the surface long enough to be effective.

What Makes a Great Foam Cannon?

When choosing the best foam cannon for touchless washes, look for:

  • ✅ High-quality brass fittings and a sturdy build
  • ✅ Adjustable fan pattern and foam thickness
  • ✅ A wide-mouth bottle that’s easy to fill and clean
  • ✅ Compatibility with your pressure washer (check PSI/GPM ratings)

And most importantly — pair it with a soap that’s designed to produce thick foam.

The Super Soaper + Foam Cannon Combo

Here’s my go-to method for touchless washing:

  1. Fill your foam cannon with 4 ounces of The Super Soaper or on Amazon
  2. Top off with warm water
  3. Adjust your foam cannon to max foam setting
  4. Foam the entire vehicle and let dwell for 5-10 minutes
  5. Rinse thoroughly with pressure washer

This method gives you super thick, clinging foam that safely loosens dirt — no scrubbing required.
