Best Foam Cannons

Adam's Polishes ASFG-17 is about as good as foam cannons get. On paper, it might not seem that different from most of its competition but you'll hardly be able to find another foam gun with the same combination of control and effectiveness.

As far as the former is concerned, the model gives you 3 separate metering tips. Using these tips, you'll be able to control the amount of soap that goes through. As you'd imagine, this alone makes the tool particularly versatile, even though going with the high pressure will prove the right choice more often than not. This way, you'll be able to significantly cut down the wash time without affecting its quality.

As for the model's effectiveness, most of its stems from the quick connect hose nozzle. With this nozzle, you can rinse the wheels, tires, and other exterior components off without completely dousing those components with shampoo. It produces a thick sudsy wash foam with increased lubricity, allowing you to avoid scratching in the process.

The only real issue we have with this model is that the main attachment has a molded construction, a construction that makes the tool a little awkward in terms of storage.

Other than that, we'll go ahead and dub Adam's Polishes ASFG-17 the best car wash foam gun on the market today. Again, it's all about that combination of effectiveness and control, making the tool equally suitable for professionals in the automotive industry or weekend hobbyists.

The people at Gilmour call this model "the perfect all-around tool for cleaning, degreasing, and disinfecting" and, for the most part, we're inclined to agree with them. Due to its design that we will cover in a moment, this foam blaster is equally suitable for turning your backyard into a car wash facility, cleaning the windows, or washing the siding on a house.

With that out of the way, what we like most about this tool is its even distribution of foam. Thanks to the latter, you get the most controlled, scratch-free wash possible. You won't even have to mix a cleaning solution with water beforehand as this foam gun does that for you. By accurately mixing and spaying foaming chemicals, the tool effectively concocts the right solution for all of your washing needs.

A wide, easy-to-fill mouth isn't a huge change of pace from the usual deal but it does a good job of preventing spills. The dial settings allow you to choose the right level of solution concentration. The foaming attachment incorporates a fan spray, enabling you to maximize the cleaning area. The aforementioned mouth is part of the 32-ounce canister, a huge container that will allow you to cover the bulk of the job without having to refill it every few minutes.

Overall, this adjustable foam gun car wash from Gilmour doesn't leave a whole lot of room for complaints. Its clever design makes the tool particularly easy to work with. In return for a rather small chunk of change, it will cover most of your washing needs.

A foam gun car wash isn't the most complicated or convoluted contraption, there's no denying that. But the quality of the materials and components still plays as important of a role as it usually does in any other type of products. On that note, let's talk about this foam spray from AOOU.

Arguably the best thing about it is the pipe joint. Made of premium brass, the joint is particularly durable and robust. Plus, it fits just about any standard garden hose, ensuring the ever so necessary water-tightness of the gun. Other than that, there's the perfect-fit rubber seal that also plays its part in ensuring a leak-free connection to the hose. And, last but not least, the heavy-duty ABS plastic parts make the whole thing as sturdy as these things get.

Aside from these little details, there isn't much that makes this foam gun car wash particularly different from the rest of them. As per usual, you have a 0-5 gear adjustment dial. Using the dial, you'll be able to increase or decrease the concentration of foam.

The company claims that the refined internal components of this tool allow for improved interaction of water and air, essentially mixing more air with the detergent in the bottle. In theory, it makes for less detergent and more foam but it is difficult to tell whether it is just marketing baloney or not.

What isn't marketing hogwash, however, are these nice little bottle filling lines that let you fill in soap and water without guessing.

In short, what we have here is a great foam blaster from AOOU. Though a car wash tool first and foremost, you can use it to water flowers and grass. It is just as suitable for yard ground, swimming pool, beach chair, glass, wall, and other surfaces as it is for washing every little component of your car.

Clean Car USA FK-071 has simplicity and quality of materials as its biggest selling points. Starting with the former, what we're dealing with here is a complete, low-pressure washer kit. You'll be able to easily connect this thing to the garden hose. You won't need any extra equipment nor will you have to spend a lot of time and effort setting it up. It is compatible with any standard hose and doesn't require an extra hose attachment. Just connect the two and, et voila, your garden hose is now a foaming pressure washer, capable of instantly producing loads of suds.

With the quick-release connector, you'll be able to go from a water spraying garden hose to foam sprayer in a single click. The precision fit rubber seal gives you that leak-free connection that really seals the whole deal (pun intended).

Other than that, there is not that much to it. Not dissimilar to most of its counterparts, the 30-ounce canister features fill lines that tell you exactly how much soap and water you should mix. The adjustment dial that goes from 0 to 5 lets you choose the pressure.

Finally, we did mention earlier that the quality of materials is one of the biggest selling points of this product and that is, more than anywhere else, evident in the machined brass fittings. They aren't prone to rust and corrosion, so they should be able to last you a lifetime.

To rephrase all of this, Clean Car USA FK-071 is a complete, low-pressure washer kit. It makes the whole car washing process about as easy and effortless as it can be. Aside from simplicity, what the model has going for it are high-quality components and compatibility with any standard hose.

VIVREAL VFW09 is a little smaller than other foam cannons in this review and a little less versatile (again, due to the relatively limited capacity of the canister). That said, it has quite a lot going for, enough to warrant a spot on our list.

For the most part, the biggest part of the model's appeal is the well-built nozzle sprayer. It spouts the solution at a constant rate with no leaks.

As per usual, it allows you to adjust the soap level with but a twist of the knob. With about 74 psi/5.1 bar in the power department, it easily washes your car clean without scratching it or ruining the surface in any way, shape, or form.

Now, we did say earlier that it is less versatile than its competition but that isn't entirely true. Sure, it is unable to hold as much solution as the rest of them. But, to make up for this little shortcoming, the manufacturers have equipped the foam gun with 8 types of spouts (rinse, mist, cone, flat, jet, center, stream, and shower). With them, you will be able to spout water in 8 patterns. Aside from washing your car, it will let you just as easily shower your pets, water the plants, and so much more.

On top of everything else, equipped with an automatic trigger and a nice ergonomic design, this tool is very forgiving and will likely tire your hands out even after some time.

So, without wasting any more of your time, VIVREAL VFW09 is a slightly less versatile foam blaster from one point of view but, at the same time, a lot more flexible and versatile from another. If you don't mind the small canister and frequent refills that come with it, this is the model to go for.
