How to use and what to expect

Fill with approved detergent following the manufacturer’s dilution guidelines, then connect to your pressure washer wand using the 1/4 inch quick connector. Twist the nozzle to modify the spray pattern and rotate the top control knob to set foam thickness. This setup is well suited for vehicles, siding, boats, RVs and UTVs, offering a creamy foam that stays in place long enough to work on grime.

Real-world use scenarios

Picture a car hood or a boat deck covered in rich, white foam that clings as it loosens dirt. The thick layer helps prep surfaces for a safer, easier rinse, potentially reducing scrubbing time and helping surfaces look refreshed after cleaning.

Maintenance and care

• After cleaning, run clean water through the cannon for at least 30 seconds to rinse away soap and residue.
• Store in a dry place and keep all seals and fittings in good condition for long-term use.
