Big thanks to Blkexcoupe for hooking me up with these!
Glad you like them. If I remember correctly, you almost said no thanks when I offered them to you. lol


I've gotten so many messages asking about them after you posted it on IG. It's making me wonder if I should see if there are any more available, but it's been like 1 or 2 years since I bought them, and they were already discontinued at the time.

Default Foam

Bought a foam cannon and washed the car. $15 well spent if you have a pressure washer

I just found that exact one on Amazon for $18 plus tax. I don’t have a link but if you search foam canons, it will be one of the first options to pop up. I ordered one.

There are a bunch of cheap foam cannons on amazon and ebay, but if you guys are looking for a long lasting one, then look into the brand mtm hydro.

Yup, I got it during cyber monday so it was a few dollars off. Just search for "Tool Daily Foam Cannon"

Looked up the one you mentioned. For $85 idk if it would be wroth it for a general DIY person. I wash my car once every 2 weeks which puts me at using this cannon at 24x a year. I would have to break the one I got 5x in to have equivalent amount of money in it. For a detailer shop, yeah for sure get the professional grade stuff. I'm sure it gives better foam and if money was no object then yeah why not. These things are just a simple vacuum suck unit with a foamer. Not a whole lot of room for innovation/improvement and as long as you can adjust the amount of soap being pulled, you should be able to adjust it to mix the perfect amount. I should also mention that the soap I was using was a cheapo $7 jug I had bought from autozone years ago. I will be getting some proper soap once I run out of this one. Its got enough for another 1 or 2 washes.

I was originally planning on buying the MTM. I was surprised to see a foam canon so cheap so I grabbed it.

I may return it since I haven’t opened it yet.

I have both, the cheap one on amazon and the expensive MTM gun. I wasn't saying the Amazon one is bad, I just mentioned the MTM for anyone who wanted to know what else is out there. Truth is, I rarely use either foam cannon. I only use it for special occasions when the cars are really filthy. Most of the time having a good quality soap is more important than using a foam cannon.

The main advantage of the MTM is how much tougher the head is built, and being able to change the size of the nozzles to "tailor" it to the output of your pressure washer.

Got my 97 side skirts installed! Taken from a wrecked 97 , I know I know, not the right door moldings, going back to the guy to get them he didnt have them off the car when i bought these. I do have the bumper moldings and 2 97 rear bumpers but im saving that for later

Im happy with how it looks I dont mind that gap at all. For anyone curious as to how we made the original door molding fit the skirts, we just took the lower black rubber stopper for the door off and that allows the door to seat properly. Actually not that hard to do. If anyone has a black or silver door molding either for the original body or 97+ please pm very intersted in one.
