- Hey everyone, Sam Battersby from Griot's Garage,
and today we're going to talk about
THE BOSS Foam Cannon.
Living up to our strive for perfection slogan,
we elected to take the best that exists
and make it better.
Its improved design features
stainless steel manifold construction,
a stainless steel barrel, and stainless internals.
The internals were reengineered in house
to increase foam output and performance.
The cannon features our proprietary
auto-mix metering system that lets you
dispense product without the need to premix,
a micro-detergent regulator for adjusting
your fluid flow from the reservoir,
and a patented one-way vented cap
that eliminates the risk of spilling if the can tips over.
The wide mouth cap is also double threaded
to accept our 22 and 35 ounce bottles
that can be screwed directly to the cannon
in place of the reservoir.
At the business end of the cannon,
you find the adjustable fan nozzle
that allows you to dial in
a zero to 40 degree spray pattern.
Other cannon highlights include a wide base,
33.8 ounce reservoir that prevents the can
from tipping over when it's set down,
a large mouth jar that necessitates easy reservoir filling,
a chemical-resistant silicon pick-up tube
for improved flex and durability,
and a stainless steel pick-up ball
that accepts our auto-mix metering tips.
Using the cannon is simple.
Once you've chosen the appropriate foaming system liquid,
select whether you wanna employ
the auto-mix metering system or
the traditional manual mix method.
The auto-mix metering system allows you to choose
one of the three Sure Flow metering tips,
based on your pressure washer setup.
The pink tip is for gas-powered units,
rated at 2200 PSI or more,
purple tip for electric pressure washers under 2200 PSI,
and the aqua tip is for maximum foam,
regardless of the pressure washer.
Insert the appropriate metering tip into the pick-up ball.
Now you can elect to thread a 35 ounce bottle
directly to the cannon,
or pour the product straight into the reservoir.
If you're using the manual mixing method
at a 20 to one dilution ratio,
add one and a half to two ounces of
your selected foaming system concentrate,
and fill the balance of the reservoir with water.
Run the cannon with no metering tip installed.
Now connect your BOSS Foam Cannon to your pressure washer
via the included stainless steel quick disconnect coupler.
We also offer a stainless steel threaded direct adapter
that attaches the cannon directly to the gun portion.
Both of these adapters will fit most pressure washers.
Now with your cannon locked and loaded,
it's time to have some fun.
Start foaming directly onto a dry surface
from the bottom, up.
Working in slow, methodical, overlapping passes,
spread a thick, even layer of foam.
Cover the entire vehicle, and allow the foam
to dwell for five to 10 minutes,
but do not let it dry.
It should be noted that dwell time
will depend greatly on the environment
that you're washing in.
Warmer climates will result in less dwell time.
After the foam has worked its magic,
do a thorough rinse, again starting from
the bottom, working your way up,
and work in slow, methodical, overlapping passes,
being sure that every single surface is rinsed.
This is where you'll remove as much
residual, abrasive contaminant as possible
before you ever need to touch the car.
Once the entire vehicle has been rinsed,
evaluate the surface to determine whether
you need a mitt and bucket wash,
or if you can proceed straight to the next step.
If you're not satisfied with the foam output
from THE BOSS Foam Cannon,
specifically if you're running a
lower powered electric pressure washer
that is 2200 PSI or below,
we include a secondary manifold jet
with a 1.1 millimeter orifice that will increase
your foam output when using the cannon
with lower powered pressure washers.
To install the jet, simply remove
your coupler from the cannon.
Using a flathead screwdriver,
thread out the original manifold jet,
and install the included 1.1 millimeter manifold jet.
Tighten down until snug, but do not overtighten.
No sealant or thread tape is needed here.
Then, reinstall your coupler,
not forgetting the thread tape or sealant at this point.
Now you're ready to enjoy mountains of flying foam.
Thank you for watching.
