YOU have made it with your quality content and honesty, so thank YOU! I typically only buy what you review with some new things here and there, but your reviews have been on point for years. Explanations of whys and hows and don'ts. I said a lot lol, but appreciate your content.
I appreciate that! And thanks for the trust you place in my opinion. Of course my videos highlight the stuff I like and it might not work for everyone, but hopefully my videos help people make better purchasing decisions all while providing important information and the ability to share my passion.
Happy new year!!
I just bought the MJCC V2 because of your review and it’s my 4th from different manufacturers. I use the Adam’s 2.0 washer @ 1.8gpm and 2500psi. It’s far and away the best foam cannon I’ve used. Thank you for your unbiased reviews.
That's also a very good foam cannon!! Enjoy it.
FYI, this foam cannon is made in Taiwan, not the US.
My first splurge for my shop. I love it. No issues at all and performs flawlessly every day. I don't use the auto metering insert on mine, didn't care for it. Love the stainless internals and I've dropped it numerous times to no effect. I was so smitten with it I bought all their soaps and a G8 and G9 DA. The stripping shampoo has an unpleasant aroma but all of them foam and work well. The DAs are far more powerful than the Porter Cable 7424xp. I'm looking at a cordless(likely DeWalt since I'm the battery line) rotary as I'm finding I need more power for some tasks and I cut my teeth on rotaries when I started back in the 90s. I had a big old Milwaukee that was built like a Sherman tank and was about as heavy. :) Have a blessed day.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing your personal experience with it. It's always valuable information for viewers who want to see how people like a product or not.
Hey Pan, I was wondering if I could pair this Griot's Garage BOSS Foam Cannon with my 1100 psi and 1.5 gpm pressure washer? and do I need to use 1.1 to make the foam thicker? Thank you!
Sticking with my MJJC. Options are great for all though
Yes they make very good foam cannons too. I have done videos about some of them, including the newest S v3.0
I still love my original MJJC foam cannon. No peoblems and a good value for three years.
Yes they make good foam cannons. Especially their newest MJJC S v3.0 and Foam Pro v 2.0
Ver.2
I have the MJJC Pro as well. Still get great foam output from the little Ryobi 1800psi 1.2gpm brick unit - honestly the best value pressure washer for $99… you can own basically own a 2nd as a backup and never have to worry about a pressure washer issue out on the job.
How many oz of soap are you all using for the mjjc?
@@lmSteveo I use like 1:7 ratio or 100ml soap and 700ml water. I’ve heard some use 1:5 ratio but that seems like way too much soap
I thought the brilliant was a little thicker foam and a little less run off.
That's another excellent foam cannon.
The question I have is... where is the innovation in foam cannons. The technology is pretty much the same on the cheapest compared to the most expensive. Buying the cheapest and then upgrading all the parts (orifice, weighted ball, pickup tube, filter, connectors etc it is still nowhere near the price of the most expensive.
This was my fav foam canon until the balls rusted out. I was shocked to learn it wasn’t SS. Very disappointing 😢. Replaced it with an MJJC.
Looks like a pretty good foam cannon! Love made in the US! Lots of features for price. Looks to me like Boss wins, but u can’t go wrong. I do like a wide opening, but I also like to adjust direction like the Mtm or the MJJC. Good to know there’s another great option! Feel better sounds like u may have a little cold!
Yeah I was a little under the weather here. Even that doesn't stop me from making videos for you guys hehe. Thanks for watching!
Hi Pan, I hope all is well. I have a question:
I recently bought a griots garage the boss foam canon and planning to use it on an active 2.3 pressure washer with mtm sgs35 gun. I want to keep it below 15 amps; how should i go about it in terms of orifice size and other factors producing great foam output? Im new to this so dont mind me asking a stupid question. Thanks
Please note I havent opened the boss foam canon and can return it and instead go for mjjc, please let me know if mjjc is better than the boss to use with active 2.3?
Ah yes, another episode of my favorite detailing channel
Looks like it is right on the griots garage web site, and in stock. Also , “the clean garage” has it. I buy a lot from them, and they are in PA.
I just recently upgraded my old mtm to the larger bottle myself.
I do like the idea of the ball on the siphon though.
Thanks Aldus!
The BOSS cannon is a BEAST. To use the regulator tips, you have to use Griot's chemicals. This is the one you want if you're a pro because of it's hefty construction and mostly SS build. However, if you're an enthusiast, this is more than likely overkill. The Brilliant Shine cannon may have better results depending on your setup.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on UA-cam as we surpassed 965,000 subscribers and we have over 130 million views! I have been detailing for 26 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
A nice feature on the boss cannon is you can screw any griot's standard spray bottles into the spray head without using the reservoir and the gun is designed to mix the solution ratio right out of the attached solution bottle. Works great . Glad to see you reviewing Griot's products. Great job!!
Thanks James! Yes I even tested screwing the foam cannon onto a bottle of Koch Chemie Gsf and that works too!
I would prefer Brilliant shine, the most thickest foam here
You can't go wrong with any of the three foam cannons in the video.
Im sticking with my MJJC, still cant be beat.
Which one do you have?
Pan, I'd love to see your opinions on the best snow removal tools and techniques. Are the foam sweeps safer in paint than a brush? Winter is here in Nova Scotia.
Hi Chris! I have many winter detailing tips videos on my channel, here are a few:
ua-cam.com/video/0zBK5Kxorko/v-deo.htmlsi=QtNTOr92v7S4tD5I
ua-cam.com/video/XmM2NzAlrts/v-deo.htmlsi=VKThJ94HwdWrTqvr
Any time you are searching for a topic, just add "Pan The Organizer" at the end and you'll likely find a video on it. For example "winter detailing tips Pan The Organizer" in the UA-cam search bar, and you would have found those.
With over 1000 videos on my channel so far, and new ones added twice weekly (Wednesdays and Saturdays), you'll likely always find what you're looking for.
Cheers from Montreal !! (It's -14C already here, and we had 30 cm of snow last week. I HATE winter hahaha).
Anyone use the RIPCLEAN™ SNOW FOAM CANNON 2.0?
I would also add to ensure you have a large gauge extension cord for power supply. My Active 2.0 kept shutting off despite plenty of amperage. It turned out my extension cord from Crappy Tire was the culprit.
Yes it's important to get extension cords in the gauge that matches the pressure washer's electrical requirements.
I use the bigboi pressure washer and they have their own foam cannon so I also opted to use that and it works incredibly well. Plus, I saw 5 other detailing channels were using the same one so they must know something and I'm not going to pretend to be an expert. If it's good enough for their professional job, then it's good enough to wash my car.
Oh for sure there are many good foam cannons out there. In fact, most of the ones in my battle videos for foam cannons do well. I haven't tested the Bigboi pressure washers yet. They seem interesting. I do like their Bigboi BlowR dryer that I have.
I had a cheap foam cannon from Amazon & couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting a nice thick foam. I thought it may have been the soap?
After seeing a few of your videos I decided to give the Boss Griot’s Garage a try & it’s like night & day! Love it!
Sometimes even cheaper foam cannons can still deliver good foam. There are many factors that influence the quantity, thickness and richness of snow foam:
1. Type of foam cannon (smaller orifices lead to thicker foam, but can potentially trip your circuit breaker depending on your setup)
2. Type of pressure washer (a higher amount of GPM water output leads to more foam, so a pressure washer with 1.3 GPM will produce less foam than one that pumps out 2.1 GPM)
3. Type of snow foam (not all snow foams produce the same amount of foam)
4. Dilution ratio of snow foam (adjust the dilution according to your setup. Start with the recommendations on the label, and increase the amount as needed).
5. Water quality. The better the water, the more foam and suds you get. So deionized water will always produce more foam compared to hard tap water, for example.
I found you through podcast. great content.
Which podcast?
Yes I have both cannons from Griot’s. Excellent products.the 3 in 1. Ceramic spray is awesome too
Cool! Which is your favourite of the two Griot's foam cannons?
the pro move is to buy a cheap wide neck one with the right nozzle features then swap out the orifice for a 1/1.1mm, swap out the filter media, then do the other water tricks for moar foam
What foam cannon are you currently using?
@@PanTheOrganizer YeewayVeh Foam Cannon; cheapo chinese brand, but once the parts are swapped its great
The Griots foam cannon looks like it will perform at a high level for a long time. Nothing is more frustrating than a foam cannon making weak foam after it use to be awesome. The lifetime warranty is the best warranty available. Thank you for the video Pan.
Yeah it seems built like a tank, with internals to match the overall high quality design.
What foam cannon are you currently using Neil?
@@PanTheOrganizer Pan I am still using my MTM as it still works very well. The plastic container does twist when I tighten the lid and having to use a funnel is a pain too. Otherwise it just works and I love the foam it produces.
I am still unclear. I have a Sampson 3000 psi pressure washer gas for years. I don’t want to buy a new pressure wash. If I bought the Boss Foam Cannon can I use my pressure washer? I think the gpm is 2.1. I think I would need 1.25 orifice. Thank you
Without adjusting the dilution for the water throughput of each cannon this is not a fair comparison. Potentially the MTM just flows water at a higher rate, with a slightly stronger dilution it may produce comparable results. All foam cannon comparisons should be done with equal panel impact ratio.
GG Boss & MJJC Pro are both better than the MTM PF22.2 from the fill neck alone. Performance is probably better as well but nothing material.
BOSS seems to have a wider fan pattern than Brilliant Finish. I have the Brilliant Finish and it's great, but the base is not the most stable and too light when empty, it stands upright but tips easily. Wide base of BOSS seems to fix that. My PF22 has been downgraded to Brakebuster wheel dedicated cannon and Brilliant Finish for snow foam. I might get the BOSS for the improved user experience. That way I have dedicated PF22 for Wheels, BF for Alkaline prewash and BOSS for PH neutral snow foam.
Another great video! A slight correction. Griot's will not REPAIR the BOSS foam cannon. They will replace it if faulty.
Why are they so expensive? It's mostly plastic for fuck's sake
In the higher end ones, there's R&D costs for sure, but also much higher build quality. For example, the Griot's Garage BOSS foam cannon has a full stainless body and internals. That costs much more than cheap metal or regular brass. So the materials used is a big one.
Can you get decent foam from a cheap $20 foam cannon? Sure you can, especially if you have the right setup (good pressure washer, deionized water, a good snow foam, proper dilution, etc). But how long that cheap foam cannon will last is unknown and it certainly won't be backed by a lifetime warranty like the Griot's. So it depends on your needs.
People with a smaller budget who only wash their car once a month don't need a $100 foam cannon. Those who wash their cars more often, or value the warranty, or just like super high grade high quality equipment, can know they are getting top notch quality here. And it's built in USA. For many Americans, it's important to support local businesses.
Looks like they're just trying to keep up with the mjjc Pro 2 which is slightly less expensive and the build quality is A1
either Griots, need to watch your snow foams video
??
Hi Pan, it might be interesting at some point to test PH levels on different products, as you said for this snow foam it was PH8, but diluted it goes down a bit closer to 7. Just an off topic one, but it might be cool how different products behave when diluted or even to see their actual PH levels out of the bottle. Great video btw 👏🏻💪🏻
Thanks George!
ObsessedGarage did just that. Most of the time the pH will change as you'd expect based on dilution, with minor variability. A lot of it has to do with the pH of your water which may vary.
Correct. People need to not overthink the pH on dilution. It's never significant, to my knowledge.@@TheBreakfastLover
Great review, wish MTM would keep up with the times, I do like the detent but it took them many years to go wide mouth and that cheap zinc connector
I wonder if the siphon tube with the weighted ball will fit in the MTM foam cannon. I'm also hopeful that MTM will design a new wide mouth bottle, i have two 22.2 cannons. i buy lots of griots merch including their polishers, creeper and soaps.
Autobrite for 2/3 years in combination with karcher K7, no broblems.👍
I have McGuire's mega cannon it has the feature of horizontal and vertical spray and it has good foaming capabilities
My tip that I use to keep my foam cannons clean is that I have extra bottles for each type and only keep fresh clean water in them so all I have to do is remove the unit from the bottle with the soap and screw it on the bottle with the water and run it. That way i also save whatever product is still in the bottle.
All three are good. I think the boss is the best though for sure. I have the MJJC foam canon pro V2.
My GG Boss has vertical and horizontal spray that can be changed by rotating the nozzle past the wide open setting.
Griot's is local to me so I am very happy you are checking out their stuff!!
Oh cool! Which state is this in?
@@PanTheOrganizer Washington State they are in Tacoma Washington. Their store is awesome!
Good to know!!
I never thought the Mtm was any good the mjjc is my fav. But I am a rinse-less guy now.
What a paaaaaaaaantastic video
Thanks Mike!! What foam cannon do you for your daily?
@@PanTheOrganizer MJJC Pro V2
Pro V2 or S V2?
@@PanTheOrganizer Pro V2
@@PanTheOrganizer you need to try Detail Firm Exterior Lather
I can never get the little plastic plugs to stay in the bottom of the hose, so I just run without.... Not sure if thats an issues but they never stay in
With my limited usage I honestly have not been a huge fan of the PF22.2 foam cannon. I feel sometimes it is still susceptible to tipping over and I could never get any consistency but this video may have highlighted a few mistakes. I believe going forward I will most likely fall in love with the BOSS cannon! I am actually surprised you did not mention the screw on bottle feature. If I gathered your recommendations correctly I'd be using roughly 2.5 ounces of soap to 25 ounces of water according to how much liquid I visually saw in your Griot's cannon.
Will the boss work fine with the ego pressure washer in turbo mode?
Side marking are very important to me. Does this have side markings?
I also really like the Adams premium foam cannon. It’s got a wide mouth too and it’s a really well-made unit.
Congratulations, Pan! Very useful information, as usual!
Thanks Ronaldo!
Have you seen the two washers introduced to the US/Canada(?) by AVA of Norway? I just purchased the GO p45 and short gun adapter. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I'm excited. The company reached out to Josh, so there was a brief conference and demo. Everything looks fantastic, esp. with a ten year warranty. Thanks again Pan, for the great review.
I have seen that video but I haven’t tested their pressure washers yet.
Hi Pan, love your channel
Have you tried testing thick foam vs runny foam effectiveness on removing dirt!?
I have my mjjc V2 connect it to my active 2.0 and it is super effective
I am considering picking up the Boss foam cannon but I really like my MJJC foam cannon pro V2. I notice on most of your videos you tend to use MJJC foam cannon. Which do you suggest I purchase. I love thick foam but I would like to get your suggestion. Thanks!
Griot’s is the best build quality for sure. But the one I tens to use most nowadays is the newer MJJC Foam Cannon S v3 which I presented here: ua-cam.com/video/L-3608MjklU/v-deo.htmlsi=hHgayhWG4jB4A0ky
Hey Pan!
I often hear that when using prewash foams (let's say Carpro Lift), we should always "neutralize" the prewash with a ph neutral mechanical wash after. Is that's just marketing so we get more stuff from the companies or actually really needed? I mean, lots of water rinsing wouldn't neutralize the prewash also?
I've always done it, but being winter in Quebec, just a quick non contact wash sometimes would be nice when it's warmer outside.
I'd like to hear your opinion on that!
Thx!!
Once you do the prewash with a foam cannon, you should always follow up with a contact wash. Not only to neutralize a stronger prewash soap, but also more importantly to actually fully clean the surface.
The prewash can only do so much. It’s made to remove the bulk of dirt and reduce chances of swirls and scratches during the contact wash.
Hey pan, so if i got this correctly, since the active 2.0 (that i own) have 2gpm, should i use a 1.25mm orifice or the 1.1mm would still give me more foam?
I dont think i understood correctly... why use the 1.25 if the 1.1 gives more foam? Thanks!
Keep the 1.25 orifice as you have a pressure washer that pumps out a lot of GPM.
Using the 1.1 orifice is for weaker pressure washers typically below 1.4 GPM of water output
I really like the stainless steel, brass on my MJJC is turning black as the reaction to chemicals is apparent. So, I don't like the filters on my MJJC pro, they 'wear out' too quickly. After a while the foam comes out as a watery mess. If I had a choice now I would certainly be looking at this one, what are the filters like? Also, I have a bottle of Gfx here in the UK, after K.C announced only 3000 bottles of Gfx made only for the US. Loads of places selling it here in the UK too
They make rebuild kits for it, check the links in the description. :)
I know people have theirs that they love. The longest lasting ones for me have been super cheap. Just how it has worked out.
Yeah what ever works for you no problem there. 👍🏻
How much diluted foam cannon solution (oz or ml) are typically needed for one average vehicle (sedan/small SUV) ?? I watched further in your video; you answered my question. You mention using about half of the container (half of 33.4 oz). :)
I typically prepare a 22 oz solution
Thanks for your videos! Could I ask, which size orifice should I use (1.1 or 1.25) with an Active 2.0? Much appreciated!
I would keep the stock orifice 1.25
When you have a good pressure washer no need to swap to a smaller orifice.
I bought the GG Brilliant Finish FC back in January 2021. I probably have 75-100 hours on it with zero issues ever. It’s still exactly how it came out of the box when brand new.
Good to know! I also have zero issues with my Brilliant Finish foam cannon. Thanks for sharing!
Probably not the best question to ask, but do you prefer the Griot's Boss or the MJJC V3? Thanks for the videos they have been very informative and help me a lot!
For build quality, the BOSS is for sure better. For overall foam output, the MJJC has a slightly better foaming capacity and also is less expensive. Both are very good, you can't go wrong really. They are top tier foam cannons.

Hi Pan! Just a little feedback. I purchased the Griot's Garage 51185, and used it a few times. The top appears to screw on tight, but the side to side motion causes the top to come off. Very frustrating watching the product and hit the floor, but that's ok. I'm going to try another Cannon, and as usual, thanks for the best channel on Social Media.
Thanks!
I love my MTM cannon, the foam produced in comparison to others is milking mice in terms of effectiveness. Were I to replace it I’d have two solid reasons, 1) the threads are easy to misalign and potentially strip, and 2) when trying to clean the bottle out for storage the soap bubbles hang at the bottom and take far to long to get out, a PIA for sure. This is important for getting pure water through the cannon for the post use flushing procedure. Long term durability of the MTM is proven, the Griots will need prove itself over time/heavy use. When, if ever, the MTM goes off line I’ll for sure have the Griots newest model on my short list. Thanks for the enjoyable and educational content always. Be well!!
Thanks Steve!
Brilliant seems better to me
You can't go wrong with any of these three really. It boils down to your personal preference and which features you want.
By the look of it, Griots Garage Brilliant Finish gun appeared to have made a better job at foaming. I still think the MTM is the staple in the business. I found that the new Griots Garage is over priced, even if made in the “USA”, it does not justify the extra money. Sometime “Made in the USA” doesn’t always mean better build or quality.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We'll see if MTM updates their foam cannon.

I like to uNeise Mineral water in the bottle and the soap is Thick.. Neighbors Love it and Nope i dt wash their cars. Even though they ask - lol....
LOL!!
I personally do not need the best foam cannon. I need one that does its job of producing foam which MJJC has mastered that in my opinion but hey, who am I right. lol
They are similar in price and both work well. You can’t go wrong regardless of choice here. It’s more of a personal taste kind of thing at that point.
Thanks to Pan the Organizer, I have become a foam addict. 😍 Got a foam question that's puzzling me for a few weeks. I use Adam's Mega Foam with my MJCC(?) foamer. The foam comes out thick and beautiful. I completely cover my car and then wash it... after I rinse it off thoroughly, the foam remains on the driveway and then flows towards the sewer opening by the curb. I have noticed that the white foam was so thick that it remained there for a day or two. The weather was sunny and warm. No, I did not use too much Mega Foam. I put about 1 tablespoonful into the warm water inside the foamer plastic container. So what could be causing the foam to remain outside after almost 2 days?
I like that! "Foam addict" hehe!! Yeah there are many snow foams that can be quite thick, and Adam's Mega Foam is for sure one of the thickest producing on the market currently. In my garage, I rinse my floor after the job and the water and chemicals go in the floor drains. So I haven't experienced the foam staying on the ground for 2 days like you have.
Perhaps write or call Adam's Polishes and see what they can help you with?
As a DIYer I always appreciate the options you share on your channel, thanks Pan 👍😁
Glad you like them! What foam cannon are you currently using?
@@PanTheOrganizer the mjjc and yes at 60 years old I’m like a little kid playing with the foam lol, have a great day my friend
Hehe I totally get that! I'm 42 and still feel like a teenager when detailing, I enjoy it so much. It's a soothing and relaxing experience for me.
Great video Pan. I have the Boss and my first one leaked and they replaced it no questions asked. I did have pay for return shipping though. One note. The Boss also has a horizontal and vertical fan like the MTM.
Thanks for sharing! Good to know the customer service is as good as people say.
MJJC pro v2 o 3 are the best foam cannon on the planet.
I'm hard pressed to believe there is any noticeable difference in cleaning results between a $100 vs $20 foam cannon.
Oh it's not just the foam... Not all cheap foam cannons perform well, but yes I could find a $20 foam cannon that would produce an amazing amount of foam, as I also have a high quality 2.1 gpm pressure washer, I have deionized water (the cleaner the water, the better the foam and suds you get), and great snow foams properly diluted.
Where the main differences are in more expensive foam cannons, is the build quality and some of the features you might not get on those el-cheapo versions. Some also value the warranty, like the lifetime warranty on the Griot's. They support the quality of their tool by putting their mouth where their money is with that kind of a warranty. And their customer service is top notch, as I noticed by the feedback in the comments. So for many, those are also all important factors.
I see this as the classic "car conversation". Can an old Lada bring you from point A to point B just like a Porsche 911 Turbo S can? Sure! But we can both agree the journey in the Porsche will be way more fun, it also happens to look a lot better (ok I'm biased I own one haha), is better engineered, and will likely have better reliability.
It's not because something is less expensive, and still "gets the job done" that it's a better purchase. Many people with a bigger budget want more for their money, and want the higher end higher quality product. Same applies to anything in life.
But if you are happy with a $20 foam cannon, then that's great too. It doesn't matter. You buy what is right for you, and for your budget.
There are many factors that influence the quantity, thickness and richness of snow foam:
1. Type of foam cannon (smaller orifices lead to thicker foam, but can potentially trip your circuit breaker depending on your setup)
2. Type of pressure washer (a higher amount of GPM water output leads to more foam, so a pressure washer with 1.3 GPM will produce less foam than one that pumps out 2.1 GPM)
3. Type of snow foam (not all snow foams produce the same amount of foam)
4. Dilution ratio of snow foam (adjust the dilution according to your setup. Start with the recommendations on the label, and increase the amount as needed).
5. Water quality. The better the water, the more foam and suds you get. So deionized water will always produce more foam compared to hard tap water, for example.
I use the brilliant finish for brake buster and mjjc pro 2.0 for the rest. Great cannons, also how do you not have the rust garbage in the bottom of the brilliant finish?
I have deionized water so I’m guessing that helps with durability of components?
Also, as I said in the video, it’s important to rinse out and flish residue out of the foam cannon after each use.
So I empty the container, rinse it out, fill it with warm water, run that through the pressure washer for 30 seconds to flush out any chemical residue, then empty the container and let the parts air dry overnight.
I always did this with my foam cannons and never had an issue.
WHat size orifice do you recommend on the Brilliant Finish with the Active 2.0 pressure washer?
The stock one that comes pre-installed.
Hey pan can you do a video on tips for fleet washing?
I have not tried the boss yet. But i have the other one, a couple cheap ones, and the mtm. I actually use their 3 in 1 ceramic as a drying aid, i put about an ounce into the foam cannon with water and just foam the car rinse and dry. Works great as a ceramic refresh. You should try to get a hold of their new ceramic rinseless.
Thanks for sharing David!!
Thank you Pan for another incredible video. Just ordered using your link 😊
I went w/the Griots Brilliant. If it works well, great!
Good pick! Welcome to my channel. You discovered one of the biggest car detailing channels on UA-cam as we surpassed 990,000 subscribers and we have over 135 million views! I have been detailing for 27 years and I love to share my knowledge and passion with my viewers.
You found the right channel to help you learn everything about detailing.
any change you could do a demo on foam cannons with different flow rates from 1.3 GPM all the way up to max?
I don't have a low flow pressure washer. Mine is 2.1 gpm.
If you have a pressure washer below 1.4 gpm, try seeing if the stock orifice works (1.25mm) and if you want more foam, switch to the included 1.1mm orifice.
I also like my mjjc if my mjcc breaks down on me. I will try the boss from cannon. Thank you for the video
Thanks! Which exact MJJC model do you have?
Pan, you never talked about the metering tips? Do you use one? I have the active pressure washer
I don't use the metering tips.
I've been using the BOSS cannon since it's release. No issues. I also use a deionizer. Mine is an On-The-Go dual bed. Also works perfectly. Thanks for all your reviews.
I just run the foam cannon without the bottle at the end to flush out the soap and clear the insides. I find there’s no need to fill up the foam cannon with water in order to clean it
I like filling the container with clean warm water, as that also helps clean the pickup tube while it's sucking up the solution. Also, my pressure washer just uses cold water, so by having the warm water in the container, at least I increase the temperature of the liquid going through the foam cannon head which in turn just helps to better dissolve and flush out any chemical residue that might still be in there. But that's just my method. I'm OCD.
But at least you are taking time to rinse the foam cannon head, which is a very good practice to prevent it from clogging with dried up soap residue. Failures usually happen because people neglect the maintenance.
I too have both MJCC and GRIOTS BOSS cannon and both do fine. Key with Griots is the ability to mount directly on a bottle is key to my use. But the best is having their customer satisfaction and product warranty, I have the pleasure of knowing they do stand on the word.
Good points!! Which specific MJJC foam cannon do you have?
Thanks again Pan. Another good one. I was questioning about which one to get for a second one. I've been using the MTM PF22.2 for years. Great combo with the Kranzle😀 However I'll go for the Griot's Garage one instead of the MJJC. I think OG store is the best place to get it with the Mosmatic 1/4'' plug.. Nice review. I'll buy quality. Many thanks
All good pick Francois! Also, please always consider using my links when purchasing items you see in my videos. It helps to support my channel at no extra cost to you, plus you're honouring the source of the information you got. :)
Cheers!
No problem. I'll follow your link to buy recommended stuff!!
@Pan another great video! I actually just bought this Griot's Garage Boss Foam Cannon and the Active 2.0 Pressure Washer. As for this Boss Foam Cannon, should I install the purple metering tip for max foam? or no metering tip at all? Thanks!
I never use the metering tips.
Cool cool! Thank you 🙏 have a blessed weekend
Honestly if you want a boss cannon AND you are new to pressure washing cars and need product get the ENTIRE boss kit. It’s $164 USD comes with the cannon, surface prep, poly gloss, and surface wash liquids, a large edgeless drying towel, and an extra spray bottle. Pretty good value imo if I would have known about this I would have gotten it.
Thanks for sharing. How did you discover my channel by the way?

@@PanTheOrganizer just stumbled upon the channel since Ive been watching a lot of obsessed garage lately and have been putting together an entire pressure washing kit for my car and i needed a bit more info on the cannon as to its construction specifically the quick disconnect. Some background here but I recently bought a second hand boss cannon that I had to disassemble COMPLETELY and acid wash because it had rust due to a bad quick disconnect and poor treatment from the previous owner. It will be chrome plated to better protect against corrosion and imo it probably should have been chromed out of the box even if stainless is pretty corrosion resistant. with the amount of action these things see it just makes sense but regardless it will be a pretty unique cannon as I don’t know of any chromed boss cannons and I would probably recommend doing the same to others after my experience but that’s just me. HOWEVER Had I known about this kit I would have gotten it since I already intended to buy a lot of griots products and could have saved myself the trouble and just wanted to let others know.
Pan. Thank you for your videos. I've been a weekend warrior for decades but had to stop for few years due to a back injury. Now healed up, I have come back to a whole new world of foam techniques and foam equipment. I watched this video, as well as your great video on the MJJC Pro V2.0 and S V3.0, and your multiple videos praising the MTM PF22.2. I had a comment and a question. Looking at the MTM page, it seems they took some of your advice, and now offer a wide mouth version of the PF22.2. A nice quality of life upgrade. I am strongly considering the Griots Brilliant Finish foam cannon. My concern is the fact that it comes with a 1.1 orifice installed. I've heard you mention several times that a 1.1 size orifice may trigger an overload on a 15 amp breaker, which is what I have in my garage. Do weaker (lower psi, gpm) pressure washers draw less amperage than higher psi, gpm pressure washers? I guess I could buy a kilowatt type device and use the 1.25 orifice first to see the amperage draw, then try the 1.1 orifice and see how much it pulls. I'll be using the Ryobi 1800psi, 1.2 gpm pressure washer that I've seen other detailers mention as a reliable and low priced unit.
It's a little different with the Griot's Garage Brilliant Finish Foam Cannon. It does come with the 1.1mm orifice pre-installed, but they also supply the 1.25mm orifice.
In the case of that specific pressure washer, they only recommend using the 1.25mm orifice for pressure washers exceeding 4000 CU (cleaning units). The 1.1mm orifice they recommend for pressure washers of 1540 to 4000 CU. And cleaning units are measured by gpm x psi.
So in the case of your Ryobi, 1.2 gpm X 1800 psi = 2160 cleaning units.
Even with my powerful Kranzle pressure washer, it's 2.1 gpm X 1400 psi = 2940 CU so I would keep the 1.1mm orifice for mine.
So you would only need to swap to the 1.25mm orifice for high powered GAS pressure washers.
Here are their detailed instructions: www.griotsgarage.com/content/pdf/51185.pdf
Pan. Thank you very much for your reply. After I get the foam cannon and use it, I will let you know how much amperage my pressure washer pulls at the wall socket with the 1.1 size orifice that comes installed.
I'll also report my results with the Griots Brilliant Finish foam cannon. @@PanTheOrganizer
This cannon has been out since March 2019. Never tried it before?
Hehe yeah I can't always be the first to review new things. It's overwhelming the quantity of new products and tools that pop up all the time, I would die trying. And I already had their Brilliant Shine foam cannon which was excellent.
But since Matt came up with his videos on the BOSS version, many of my viewers wanted me to look into it to have my opinion, so I told myself it was time to get one.
Do you have it?
Nice info.
Thanks!
Regarding the mtm pf22: The narrow opening - it fits other bottles. It’s a standard size. It might not be that used but it might be handy. Also the metal thread is a good thing. Bottles can be replaced easier than the cannon. I know it might require a bit more care but it is correct engineering! Re Griots: No spare parts. Can you buy more bottles with lids? Made in USA AND Taiwan - mmm not sure they can claim to be good company supporting domestic economy…I do agree that someone ought to make a stainless cannon without a dosing knob - make it neater and less failures: Mosmatic!
Thanks for sharing, but some of your statements are incorrect. Griot's does have spare parts for the BOSS foam cannon, including replacement bottles here: bit.ly/3uOCs9x
They also have a full foam cannon rebuilt kit here: bit.ly/47ZlX9r
And the Griot's BOSS has internal threads to which you can screw regular product bottles. For example, I'm able to screw the foam cannon head directly to a bottle of Koch Chemie Gsf.
Griot's knows what they're doing. And they have great customer service, as is evident through viewers' comments already.
Where I do agree with you, is that I would love to see Mosmatic make a foam cannon!
By the way, which foam cannon are you currently using?
That’s great - I wasn’t aware of the spares or the extra bottle thread. I am a harsh critic sometimes! I have mtm pf22.2 but I am always looking to upgrade. I did want to speak up about the narrow opening and the metal thread as they do have practical thoughts behind them as well as the drawbacks. I think I would prefer a standard narrow neck - it’s not a problem for dilution bottles. I’d like a mosmatic, full stainless, no dosing control, flexible draw with weight, no fan control at all & narrow opening 😮 perfect for my bilt hamber…
Very well done, informative video, just started shopping for my first foam cannon so I've watched a 1/2 dozen or so comparison videos today and most of them have the Griots as #1, although there was some impressive ones at a much lower price point. Most likely going to go with the boss, although it looked like the cheaper Griots foam was actually a little thicker.
Yeah there are tons of high quality foam cannons these days even at lower price points. But for build quality, for the sure the BOSS foam cannon takes the cake. That being said, there are other very very good foam cannons like MJJC Foam Cannon S V3.0, MJJC Foam Cannon Pro v2.0, Griot's Garage Brilliant Finish Foam Cannon, MTM PF22.2, etc.
@@PanTheOrganizer I had pretty much made up my mind on the Boss after watching the other comparison videos, as I've always had pretty good luck with Griot's products (even though they're sometimes ridiculously pricey) but your in depth video on the quality of it and how well it works finally sold me on spending the $100, rather than buying one for $40 or 50 bucks that I might have to replace every or every other year. Amazon just delivered it and I can't wait to try it out. I also ordered a bottle of the Kochchemie GSF and a bottle of their Green star too. Thanks.
I've used the Boss Foam Cannon for several years now and its best feature is the metering system and hooking directly to their Surface Wash bottles. No mixing or not making too much or too little soap when washing the car. You should try it. Love the video and all your reviews. Thanks
Thanks for sharing your experience!
The thing that drives me nuts about the PF22.2 is the fan pattern. The top and bottom of the fan sprays so much denser than the middle and this bugs me. Ive tried lowering the fan spread but it still happens. That BOSS looked like the lower had a weird jet off of it.
Do you think your PF22.2 is clogged with soap residue?
@@PanTheOrganizer I don't think so. It looks exactly the same as your pattern. It's been that way since purchase and hasn't changed over time.
Pan is the GOAT of car detailing !!!!!
Thanks Juan! Let’s goooo! 👍🏻
@@PanTheOrganizer your welcome 🙏🏼
🙏🏼 What's your favourite video on my channel, so far, by the way?
@@PanTheOrganizer the award & new products videos 💯
Dear Pan I respect you a lot for all your honesty and brilliant reviews. I too own 911 and used all your techniques and recommendations. It’s looks amazing. Thank you much.
I own GG brilliant finish foam cannon - regarding this video, in my humble opinion, MTM has the best output ( it leaves even /uniform wet surface behind).
Cheers.
Thanks! All three foam cannons in this video are excellent, no doubt about it. People can pick which features or price point they prefer.
Can we swap/clean/change filter for Griot’s Garage BOSS , like it is possible on MTM Pf22.2 ???
Yes there are rebuild kits available. Check the links in the description under the video.
@@PanTheOrganizerThe MTM filter is known to be of exceptional quality and is a drop-in replacement for the MJJC...does the MTM filter look to be compatible with the BOSS as well? BTW, thank you for this and all of your exceptional content!
