The Best Foam Cannon Setup for Touchless Washing
Want a safe, effective way to wash your ceramic-coated car without touching it? This guide breaks down the ideal foam cannon setup—from pressure washers to soaps and everything in between.
1. Choose the Right Foam Cannon
A good foam cannon creates thick, clinging foam that dwells on the surface long enough to loosen dirt. Look for:
- ✅ Adjustable spray pattern and foam output
- ✅ Wide, stable base and large fill port
- ✅ Brass fittings and a sturdy connection
2. Use Ceramic-Safe Foam: The Super Soaper
The Super Soaper is optimized for foam cannons and touchless washing:
- ✅ High foaming action
- ✅ Safe for ceramic coatings and PPF
- ✅ Strong enough to lift road film and grime
- ✅ Rinses clean with no residue
Recommended mix ratio: 2–4 oz of The Super Soaper per foam cannon fill, topped with warm water.
3. Match It with the Right Pressure Washer
For best results, use a pressure washer with at least 1.4 GPM and 1700 PSI. This ensures your foam cannon creates thick suds and provides enough rinse pressure.
Recommended electric models: Ryobi, Greenworks Pro, or Active VE52/VE56. Gas options offer even more power.
4. Don’t Skip the Process
- Apply foam to a cool, dry vehicle out of direct sun
- Let it dwell for 3–5 minutes
- Rinse from top to bottom with high pressure
- Only do a contact wash if needed, using safe tools like the Orange Wash Microfiber Towel
