Show Notes
Foam cannons are everywhere right now, but here's the real question: what's the best soap for a foam cannon?
In this episode, I break down:
-
Why gear like pressure washers, orifice size, and foam cannons matter — but only to a point.
-
The truth about cheap vs. quality soaps and how they affect your foam.
-
What actually makes a foam cannon soap "good" (concentration, pH balance, lubricity, versatility).
-
Why I use The Super Soaper as my go-to foam cannon soap for insane foam and a safer wash.
👉 If you want the thick, shaving cream–style foam you see online, it's not just about the cannon — it's about the soap you put in it.
