hey guys welcome back to a day ten of self quarantine around the house kids are bothering
the hell out of me inside wife's getting annoyed with all the kids so I decided to come out here
and some much-needed that car cleaning I haven't cleaned these dang cars and probably over a month
now or maybe longer in a month they're usually garage kept so they stay pretty clean and I wipe
them off once in a while but I decided I recently to buy a foam cannon for my pressure cleaner and
I've got a bunch of old Maguire soap that I use up so I'm going to do some mixing of that soap
I saw online to see how that works and see if it works well in the foam cannon you know like most
of you guys that are probably holed up in your house right now you probably doing these types
of cleanings that's all on a lot of the forums or the group's online everybody's cleaning the
car so I figured I'd join in and do some detailing on this car right now so stay tuned McGuire's Gold
Class so I've been using this thing for like 15 years now wash all my cars I usually stock up
on this stuff got half of that bottle left I've actually got two more bottles up there kind of
sitting in the wings that's just regular soap that you use for cleaning and I did recently
pick up this on Amazon I think it was only like by twelve or fifteen dollars or something like
that I've been eyeing these foam cannons for a while so I decided to pick one up recently you
could get these things em'ly that they've got like expensive ones that are up to hundreds of dollars
for these sets but I just picked up this kind of cheap china made one just to see how well does
it one of the things I thought I came with these tips for that pressure cleaner yeah I think I've
had two or three sets of these tips now but you know that seems like every time I buy something
for the perfect thing they come with extra tips so I've got a bunch of those but the foam cannon
itself is pretty small it's kind of you know it's that little guy right there you attach it
to that bottle should be pretty straightforward to use this stuff I know a lot of people wear buy
it now to wash their cars with these foam cannons so I figured I'd give it a shot and for the price
it's worth it what I might do I read online on some mixing of these Gold Class soap I think
somebody was using like maybe a 1 in 128 mix that sounds like a lot that's like one ounce for every
gallon of water to mix the soap so I might be doing something less than that maybe like a 1/32
mix sounds more like it but it's worth a shot I'm gonna put it in here probably with some warm water
just to dissolve it and then get it to see how well it foams up the car my start my mixing put a
funnel up in here so what I'm gonna do is I might as a soap first just kind of eyeballing it and I'm
not gonna measure this crap I'm just gonna put in kind of eyeball what I need seems like enough
they're filled up that much of the bottle I've got my water heated these little petals with a little
thing is best invention ever you guys don't have one but he did it out let me fill this baby up
catching the foam cannon to come to one of these little scrawls you
just gotta stick it right in there tighten it up
we'll go ahead and bring the car down
so this gun wasn't really that bad for $15 so it took some getting used to to figure out this
setting so originally I had it when I was testing it the plus all the way out but I guess that's
what the nozzle fully opens you didn't foam too well with that setting so what I ended up doing
was I had to close it all the way to the negative so I turned it straight all the way to negative
almost close to get it right as far as the mixture goes that make sure I had was okay yeah it put too
much hot water next time I mix it up for Depp I just maybe a quarter hot water and the rest cold
water because I think that hot water was causing it not the foam at the beginning either until I
mixed it and let it cool down a little so overall pretty good foam gun for the money also at the
front you want that nozzle to be touching close or else that when you unscrew it open with those
two little metal Clips it actually just sprays a straight line instead of diffusing it and creating
a little wave of foam and bubbles and all that so pretty good foam cannon daily tool tool day
so guys thanks for watching all the way the end and hope you guys enjoyed this video and got
something out of it whether you're quarantined and neither wash your car or just looking for a new
tool to wash your car with so until next time stay safe out there quarantine safely social distance
