- What's up everybody?
Welcome to Chemical Guys Detail Garage.
I am really excited to introduce a brand new product
that's going to make foaming easier
and more maneuverable.
Today, we have the Torq Snubby Foam Cannon Attachment.
And, what this is going to do
is make it easier for you guys to move around
any size vehicle, any shape,
get inside of wheel wells,
cover the top of your car
in thick suds using your favorite foam cannon.
Now, right off the bat,
you see that it has this very exciting
new graphics on here.
And it's got a simple layout of exactly
what comes with the foam cannon attachment.
Now, obviously you have the Snubby here
and this is what's going to attach
to any pressure washer using two couplings.
You have here, one 1/4 inch male connector
for your quick release.
Or, if you don't have one of those,
you also have an m22 14 millimeter
twist-on and plug kind of attachment
for any kind of regular pressure washer.
And, you also have a 3/8 female quick connector
which is going to couple your foam cannon
to the Snubby.
And there all thread locked,
so there's not gonna be any leaks.
And they're also copper.
So they're going to be very durable
and last as long as possible.
So, over here we have two buckets set up
which is our traditional wash bucket method.
And, they're both filled with water and a dirt trap
which is going to filter out any impurities
that could scratch your vehicle.
Again, this is going to be a very light washing
we're going to do today.
If you want more in-depth be sure to check it out
on our channel here.
We have tons of videos showing you how to do wheels,
engine bays, washing interior,
anything you guys need to know is on this channel.
So, check those out.
But, for today, we're just going
to go over the basics of washing.
And, here again, we have our two buckets
and today we'll be using some watermelon snow foam,
this produces a lot of suds
using any kind of foam cannon.
But, today we're gonna use it with our
big-mouth foam cannon
which you've already filled up with water.
Now, pro tip for all of you guys that are looking
to get more foam and more foamy action
is to fill your canister up using two to three
ounces of your favorite car wash soap
and filling the rest of it with warm water
and then gently agitating the mixture together.
Rather, than violently shaking it up
causing the foam to create inside of the bottle;
you want it to properly aerate.
So, just by mixing it together,
that's going to give you the perfect solution
and that warm water helps to
enhance your foaming action.
So, now again, we have our two buckets here.
I'm gonna add a little bit of soap to our wash bucket.
And, then also to our foam cannon.
This is the canister for the big-mouth foam cannon.
And, we use about two ounces.
And, then our second bucket,
which is just the rinse bucket
will be full of clean fresh water.
And, this is what we'll go back periodically
with our clean wash mitt to remove
any kind of impurities that we bring off the vehicle,
trap them underneath the dirt trap
and keep them from coming back to the car.
So, now we'll just set this aside.
And, I've already set up one of our Torq Snubbies
to our pressure washer using the
m22 threaded quick connect as well as the
3/8 female quick connect
and this what is going to attach to our pressure washer
coupling it to the foam cannon.
And, just a few features here,
you see it has this awesome, you know,
black and red combination,
as well as this really ergonomic design.
This is going to reduce fatigue
and it's also gonna make it more precise
as you're foaming.
The long wand is a little bit hard to control
for shorter detailers,
as well as working on different size vehicles.
It's something that can
get away from you very easily.
So, having it nice and tight and compact
is going to make it easier for you to control.
As well as not make a huge mess.
Now, you see you have the trigger here.
It also has a trigger lock
to prevent any kind of unwanted foaming
during your rinsing process
or once you set it down.
Simply clicks right away.
And, now we're gonna attach our foam cannon
to the Snubby.
And, I'll sow you guys just how easy
it is to rinse as well as wash your vehicle.
Doesn't matter what size, shape,
color, vehicle.
It's all going to be the same.
So, now we're ready to begin the foaming
and washing process.
I've already attached the Torq Snubby
to the pressure washer.
And, again, whenever you're using this
you wanna be sure that you're rinsing
from top to bottom
whether you are rinsing or foaming,
working in straight lines
to prevent any kind of swirls.
But, what's great about this is
now you don't have this long attachment
that could potentially scratch the vehicle.
It could be kind of cumbersome
and hard to work around wheel wells
or anything that's intricate.
And, this is also gonna give you
more precision and control
so you're not spraying
an excess amount of foam all over the ground,
or potential walls
or other cars that are around the vehicle.
So, now all we're gonna do is start spraying it
and then start washing.

And, guys, there you have it.
You see just how simple
and easy it is to use the Snubby.
What I recommend is putting your hand
right back here against the shoulder of it
and grabbing it just like you would
with a regular kind of foam gun or trigger.
And, this is going to make it so you're
not going to run the risk of inducing scratches
or swirls as your washing
because you have the potential of using the wand
and slamming it against the paint work.
Because there's a million things going on
as you're foaming or washing the vehicle.
There could be, you know, ambient noise,
there could be people around making you nervous.
But, this is going to make it so you're working
very precise, very methodically
around the vehicle and not inducing
any kind of harm to the finish.
And, now we're going to attach
the foam cannon to our Snubby
and continue with the same process
working our way from top to bottom.
Working at the highest point down to the bottom,
so we're not bringing dirt
into areas we've already rinsed or cleaned.
And, then we're going to move along
to our wash process using our wash mitt.
This will again remove anything that's stubborn
sitting on the surface,
working in linear motions to prevent
any kind of swirls.
And, just a few facts about the Snubby is,
you can use this basically with any kind
of pressure washer,
as long as it's capable of attaching to the couplers.
And, also, that you're not exceeding 5,000 PSI
or 10.5 gallons per minute.
Now, we don't recommend going that high on vehicles,
because that does have the potential
to harm the finish.
Because, it's a very high velocity of pressure.
A lot of guys ask us what we use
here in the Detail Garage.
And, today we are using gas-powered 2,800 PSI,
2.3 gallon per minute pressure washer.
This is a great combination
to, one, aerate the product thoroughly.
But, not being too aggressive
where it's going to harm the finish.
So, again, we're gonna start top to bottom
working our way around the vehicle.
Rinsing down as much of the grime,
daily road debris that's on the surface.
And, then we're going to use our wash mitt
to gently remove anything
that's stubborn on the surface.
And, then we'll dry it, get it looking it's best.
