How to Get the Best Out of Your Karcher Snow Foam Cannon

Here's a quick guide to using the Karcher Snow Foam Cannon to pre-wash your vehicle including instructions on using the cannon and how much snow foam to add.

Check out this video explaining panel impact ratios in a bit more detail:

I've upgraded my foam cannon since making this video and now use an MJJC Foam Cannon Pro. I also purchased an aftermarket cannon for my Karcher to see how it compares to the one I've shown in this video. Here are the links to the videos:

Thank you for explaining the dilution. I assumed thicker is better and it wasn't working. I've now got snow foam and am using less liquid.

Very simple and very helpful, just got my gun yesterday and will be cleaning my Mini Cooper out in the sunshine this afternoon now you have told me how it works, I could of worded it out myself but no need now thanks ☀️ 🧽 🚘👌

Thank you, my brother got us one for xmas. I was wondering why it doesn't produce that much foam. This was very helpful 👍

Thanks for this, you're the only one who actually describes how the yellow water adjuster works! Cheers

The Karcher and Nilfisk supplied snowfoam lances will get you started but long you are better off with 1 litre after market lances nice video 🙌🏻

Thanks I got the cannon with k5 last week used 1 litre of foam to wash 2 cars I never read the instructions 😬 but I'm a little wiser now

What a very clear, thorough review. Especially the PIR. Excellent. A good watch. Keep them coming, subs will flock in due course. Well done young woman!

[DavidHalfordsLane]

Thanks Heather. As clear and practical as ever.

[Russik]

So actually thanks for video, basically

These can be quite versatile. Try putting in more snow foam and turning the dial down. Or what I have done is put shampoo in them. Quite good for reducing swirls 🙂

Interesting Video I have started with the Karcher as it was only a tenner on Amazon. It does give a blanket of foam but it's not brilliant. One day I will upgrade.

Karcher foam cannon is rubbish, Auto Glym Cannon is much much better

Want a golden tip? put the reservoir upside down and you'll get really thick foam

Big difference in pricing from this to the MJJC products. If you're just interested in getting a decent wash, this is enough. if you're looking at professional results, spend more. I have *so* many other things to buy and a limited pot of gold, being a regular working person. Stay safe out there. 😊

I used it once then now keep it as a backup if my other 2 amazon snow foam cannons fail with the 1.1mm orifice in one and a 1.4 in the other. It does the trick to a degree but would only use it in conjunction with my karcher fluid as a pre rinse to my higher quality soaps in the amazon foamers as the secondary for say a full blown detailing job where my OCD takes over LOL.

Also if I may be bold, you are my dream misses! It is hard going finding young ladies who are into this hobby here in Australia.

Hi, Would you like to review the new MJJC foam cannon Pro?

[patrickorourke]

Very clear and only bought that snow cannon should I have gone for the karcher one that attaches to the bottle ? But your video is great keep them up very clear and very easy to understand fair play 👍👍

[spencerconio]

I brought an aftermarket lance and water was leaking out from it and no foam came out because of it. Any way to fix this? I have a Karcher K2 compact

Thanks for the review, what kind of hose you were using?
