Just used mine for the first time. It might be cheaper quality than the MTM that I have. But it’s lighter on the end of the gun and I swear it does better with foaming like you showed.
Got mine on Amazon for 47$. You can get 2 for the price of 1 MTM.
yeah this cannon Rocks its all I use for washing now
You can add metering tip to the brilliant finish as well! Just order the tips
My main thing with other foam cannons is the amount of product they suck down. I use some cheap no name amazon cannon for wheels and it absolutely chugs product where I can foam my entire super crew long bed f150 with 6-700ml of soap thoroughly. Watching you foam this down this Griots looks like it is pretty economical on the soap usage. Thanks for the review, I seem to be adding more and more Griot's Garage products onto my shelf.
yeah i can foam an entire car at least 3 times with this new cannon which is great. my other ones blast so fast i never can get 3 passes around the car
That foam cannon looks legit! One thing you didn’t mention and I noticed in the video is it looks like the top will also except their small bottles like the BOSS cannon does.
yes I actually realized that later on but i do not have any of those Griots 22 or 35oz bottles of product on hand but its neat if anyone does have those laying around. Also the automix metering tips do work on this cannon as well. Next video is a direct comparison with the MTM Pf22. So far I absolutely love this foam cannon that I gave away all my others to fans and bought two more of these for my shelf.
@@autofanaticcars That’s how I typically use my BOSS foam cannon. I rarely mix into the container I just spin a 35oz bottle on and go.
try this one it foams much nicer than the Boss i feel let me know what you think once you try it out.
@@autofanaticcars Will do
Everything looks amazing, but i think we can't really tell if what's producing that foam is the new soap or the cannon.
Woulda been best to test it with a more regular soap that is available.
I did test with 4 other soaps prior to shooting the video, results were pretty much the same except 4+ oz were required for good foam
@@autofanaticcars 4oz to how many oz of water?
With the Pf22 i personally do 1oz of soap to 8oz of water , since the bottle sucks in size i only get to do 24-3
been loving griot garage stuff, looks like I'm going to spend more money on them!
I bought you’re current version of the snow storm shampoo. I added 4 ounces to my foam cannon but didn’t foam as expected. Definitely going to purchase you’re revised version. What part of New York are you from ?
try shaking the current bottle very good next time. we realized over time the chemicals were settling so that was another reason the new formula is much thinner and different chemistry.
Love your video. Can you please tell me what pressure washer you are using in this video? Thanks…
the Northstar 230V i did a video on the channel of it
Oh shit auto fanatic is ur brand ? WTH I didn't know that I've been watching u for yrs
visit our website to view all our product offerings www.auto-fanatic.com
is air supposed to comeout of those ridges where the plastic aduster is at?
To me works exactly the same like mtm , but this one is more convenient price, There’s only one way to know , do a comparison video Show side-by-side so we all can see it, That is the only way to find out
i have compared side by side this seems to work better, and is easier to fill and use by design.
@@autofanaticcars can you please make a video next time?
Why am I not surprised?! I use a lot of their cleaners and dressings which are nothing but top shelf IMO. I always keep my garage stocked with a number of their products and cant wait to add this to my shelf of tools and products.
Should be noted that like 80% of the results with a foam cannon depend entirely on the pressure washer used, rather than the cannon itself or soap used.
next video will show the MTM vs Griots using the Comet Static 1700 Pressure Washer so you guys can see. My pressure washer rig is a serious commercial grade 230V unit so we felt testing it on a much less expensive 120v unit was a good idea. Stay tuned for that video either later today or tomorrow
I always wonder how you wash your cars in direct sun 😂 every time I do I end up with dried soap residue and a headache
usually residue in sun is from soap that contains harsh surfactants and too much caustic i have found. my soap is super safe that was the goal when we originally created it now the new version is even better.
Nice 👍
Where can we purchase this other than online?
Griots site i suppose
Anyone know if this will work with like the Ryobi 40v 600PSI battery powered pressure washer?
No it will not
Now that only hooks up to a pressure washer or does it Hooke up to a water hose
pressure washer only
Can you swap bottles with the BOSS one?
It does not I just checked the BOSS Foam Cannon has a much smaller opening to fill than the new Brilliant Finish. I hope they start selling extra bottles and caps for these hint hint
So “you’re” soap is blue in color and the product in the cannon is clear in color-
What kind of marketing magic am I missing here ?
marketing magic is the blue bottle with label is a mock sample for photos only. I was working with to see what I liked in terms of color. The clear with touch of blue is actual physical soap without all the dye. the production soap is light blue it is already made and off to bottling.
Had one of these that only lasted a couple of months and the damn thing would only spit out the foam. I always ran warm water through it after each use. Total POS! Been using my PF22 do three years now & never have had one issue with it. The foam output is more dependant on the quality of foam you use vs the cannon. Been using GSF gentle snow foam as of lately & no product out there can even compare with it.
Wrong you did not have one of these a couple of months back this new foam cannon unit just came on the market this month so no idea why you are commenting that you had one. and FYI your overpaying for soap if you love GSF stop letting those other channels get into your head.
@@autofanaticcars FYI a friend of mine works in the product & development department that supply's many of the products for Griot's & he gave me one a couple of months ago to try out. I told him what I liked & disliked about it. And as far as the GSF is concerned I've never found a product including your snow foam that even comes close. Plus I get free shipping on a gallon which I don't think you can offer. I don't let the other channels get into my head. I try a product and if it out performs my expectations then that's what I'm using. I know many supplier's in the detailing world & I can get a gallon of GSF soap for $50.00 that retails for $80.00 plus the free shipping!
Bad . After one season it doesn’t make foam
Mine died last month after hundreds of washes
In the video it looks like this is the thickest foam I have ever seen. I will definitely be getting some of the revised version of Auto Fanatic snow foam. Looks like Griot's has issued a "throw down" to other foam cannon manufacturers! Griots still put's out some awesome products. Richard Griot should really be credited with bringing higher level "detailing" products to the masses when he first started Griot's with a catalog magazine of products before the days of UA-cam, Internet, Iphone's, etc. He was one of the first........many other's have followed Richard's lead.
yes this new cannon has a patent pending riffled internals and it sounds totally different than anything else. this one is a winner.
Every one of his vids.. "wish I had a garage and an air compressor"....
Holy cow... This is shaving cream tick!! love it.. i'm getting one right now!
Awesome, About time a reasonable priced Cannon that puts out Crazy Foam. A better version then CG cannon. Thanx - Stay Safe, Be Safe!!!!!
To see Griots bring something like this to market that performs this well at a good price point is a good thing for everyone. I echo your sentiment on the PF22.2 - it's a good cannon overall, but the narrow mouthed top is a frustrating detail.
I can not stand filling the Pf22 it drives me nuts which is why i rarely use it. I now will be using this cannon regularly so check my IG for future clips and updates
Used this foam cannon and I have to say that it beats the Pf22.2 foam cannon hands down. I used a 2900 psi 2.5gpm Ryobi gas pressure washer.
thanks for also confirming my testing and video the new cannon is awesome
@@autofanaticcars Is this better than the Boss?
What’s the Recommended PSi and GPM for this?
Anything more than 1100psi and less than 3000psi
You should compare it to the new MJJC foam cannon...
Or not?
Griots is SLIGHTLY better (thicker foam). Not much better, but 10-15 bucks cheaper and slightly better performance is a win-win.
I wonder how these would work on my lil pressure washer I have? I like Griots stuff but its pricey up here in Canada :/
Even a snap on screwdriver! Cool.
That’s awesome! Another great video Phil! When do u think ull have ur new Snow Storm shampoo available??
next month through our store the production run is already manufactured and we start bottling soon.
Man what pressure washer do you use? I dont get that thickness in my soap😩
NorthStar 230V its way overkill but i use it all over the property for heavy duty work. Watch my other video using the same cannon, my new soap and the Comet 1700 electric pressure washer. if you can not get good foam the pressure washer you using is not enough GPM but my new soap works awesome even with a cheap SUnjoe, check out my IG feed from yesterday youll see.
Looks like marshmallow spraying out. Nice thick foam
yeah this foam cannon is awesome
What’s up with the reviews I’ve read about the metal ball rusting??
the balls did rust, i just removed mine but i think the new ones are stainless the original ones were chrome plated
Great video the clarity is unmatched you just gained another subscriber
Awesome, thank you! Search the channel for lots more auto detailing content and reviews you will enjoy, AF
Combining plastic, and metal, aluminum etc provides a weak point on impact. As plastic has more give then metals etc that do not have any give causing week points and cause breaking and cracking a lot easier
Nice review. I generally feel your not Griot's biggest fan but you definitely gave this canon props. I just do my own stuff and been using a cheap $20 Amazon canon which does work great for the $ but I think you just sold me on this. Appreciate review and probably wanna try your soap.
Foam cannons without a pressure washer is a waste, correct?
need pressure washer to use the foam cannon however you can still foam up your car using a pump up foamer i show that on the channel in some older videos.
I received mine today! I like Your gun. Can You provide a link to it?
Cannot think it is all the new design versus your new soap being amazing!
yeah the new soap is insane il be showing more in a video once i get some sample bottles soon. should be available in May 2021
pity cannot get this in the uk seen this on amazon for 200 pound your having a laugh
Omg I need to pick one of these up!
Now that looks wicked awesome. This just arrived today, but my truck and cars are clean. Go figure. 😒
try it once you can and let us know how you like it
Great review! Just relocated from California to Florida and will need to order both the 007 foam and new Griot’s foam cannon. I’ll need to look at your video history for pressure washer reviews.
I just purchased the Chemical Guy Torq Canon this week end and it cost me over $70 i haven't used it yet. Should I return it and get the Griots canon?
I would love to get my hands on your new soap. Where would I be able to buy it from and what will it be called?
honestly Yes i would if I were you, better warranty with Griots plus this new cannon has a patented riffled housing. win win i think. I cant stop using mine
I love the gt350
What part of this foam is from the cannon alone? Cuz I mean the soap and the pressure washer used also play a role.
yes good foam is the soap, cannon and GPM of a pressure washer but I know my set up so well that it never foamed as much as when I shot this video and the only change in my set up was using this new foam cannon.
What pressure washer do you have?
Northstar 230V i did two videos on them on the channel months back check them out
Hey Phil, any updates on the Rubbermaid Commercial Bucket/mop system we were emailing each other about? Hope all is well sir! Great content as always buddy
no luck finding them, Rubbermaid makes these other yellow buckets that should work perfect ULINE sells them
I just watched this video for the very first time. Where can I get this at? What stores sale it or do I have to order it online? If online, whats the address? Last question.. I see you used your pressure washer in the video. Can you produce the same results connecting that to a garden hose?
Advanced auto parts has it for 5.99 rn . 64 oz bottle
Wow she is very thick... can’t wait to grab this and try it!!
Just picked this up and after watching this video I want to go out side in 36 degree weather and wash my car.....😂
I did mine in the same temps last week, check my channel for the winter wash i posted a few days ago
If you continue to rotate the nozzle it will turn to spray in horizontal
Great video review of the Griot‘s Foam Cannon. I just picked one up and haven’t used it yet. Worked so great with your snow storm shampoo that I just ordered some of that and I’m looking forward to trying it on my vehicles. Also you have a new sub
you will absolutely love the combination report back once you try it a few times.
The only reason the 1/4 " quick connect is hard to thread on is because of the PTFE thread seal, it's very dense, and the finer on the bottle provides a better grip. I just ordered one, and I m going to try it with your foam soap that I've had for a month.
enjoy it and let us know how you like the combo its awesome and all we use now
It leaks from the top because it needs a hole to draw air from for the foam.
How many PSI does it use?? Thanks
Anyone know if this fits with chemical guys snubby pressure washer gun?
as long as it has a 1/4 male fitting it will fit all guns
What's are the ratings of your pressure washer and what size orifice are you using in the cannon in this video?
search my channel for the pressure washer videos I am using a professional 230V North Star machine it is 2.5 GPM and 3500 PSI at max boost
1.25 orifice? I was told that size is restrictive for pressure washers outputting more than 2gpm, are you using the northstar2.5gpm 3000psi?
video was using the Northstar and i did switch the orifice both ways this way works best as the video highlights.
@@autofanaticcars ah okay, just had to double check because I don’t like having the thought of somethinng possibly breaking, when it could have been prevented
I would like to see how this would work on an electric 1,600 psi 1.2 gpm pressure washer.
Just did another video test today stay tuned
I think people really need to use warm water in the bottle , never got foam goodness until I tried that
i rarely use warm water its a hassle for me to trek my wet feet back into the house usually
What sort of pressure washer do you need like how many GPM or PSI?
i always suggest 1.8 GPM or more
What brand of handle are you using?
Thanks for reviewing this! I saw this is in my latest GG catalog as well and was thinking of buying it; definitely will now! I am completely new to foam cannon washing a vehicle (not a stranger to detailing my vehicles though!). Is the premise that you simply foam up your vehicle, let it sit for a minute or two, and then rinse off and dry? No need for a wash bucket/mitt and any agitation? Does the foaming action also clean the rims pretty well or you recommend they are still agitated with a wheel brush and cleaner afterwards? Cheers!
Hi Dom it depends i wash my cars so often i mostly do touch less because my cars are protected with Auto Fanatic 007 Ceramic as a toper after each wash. I foam , wait then rinse, blow dry most of the water off, hit the panels with 007 and a PFM towel and done. I only do a contact wash when there is very bad dirt on the car like over the winter months or if i parked under a sap tree or birds had a party on the paint. Check out some other videos on this channel to see more about my process.
Very nice! I have your old snow foam and it works great with my PF 22! What pressure washer are you using?
NortStar 230V check the video on the channel from a few months back
Interesting that the container looks identical to the Weirran cannon. Looks like a good unit. I hope they sell extra jars and lids
yes the jar on the Griots uses a fine thread and they are not interchangeable and i also hope they start selling extra bottles, when they released the Boss Cannon it was about a month or so before the extra bottles were offered with a cap.
Do you like it better than the ryobi?
I have the boss foam cannon. To you this new, cheaper one really does foam better than it?
it does seem to foam more than the Boss, according to the catalog I forgot to mention in my video that the nozzle has a patent pending riffling design like a gun i suppose. You can hear it how different it sounds compared to any other foam cannon so they are definitely doing something different in design
Awesome video!
Thanks for the visit
What pressure washer are you using?
What handle do you recommend?
What Spray Gun would you recommend? TIA!
MTM SGS28
My pressure washer is at 1.2 gpm would I get the same results?
doubt it
Test the MJJC foam cannon pro
Looks great but phil can u try 2 other soaps like honeydew and maybe Polly gloss just to see how those diff variants work otherwise looks promising for sure thanks phil
I already tested and the cannon works great with other soaps you just need to add about 4oz
@@autofanaticcars 4oz to how many oz of water ?
I've been using the brilliant finish foam cannon for several months and I have an issue with the weighted pickup ball rusting even if i dry it out after every use
contact Griots they will send you replacements they did for us.
@@autofanaticcars Are the replacements more resistant to corrosion?
Fantastic foam 😍😍😍😍
Where can I buy this foam canon I cannot find it anywhere
wonder if this video sold them out already
I watched the first video a few days ago, thanks for the new video on the updated BOSS canon.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Pressure washer specs?
Nice! Can you turn the fan vertical or horizontal quickly?
you know I never even checked but i think it can like every other cannon
Did you turn the psi down to 800 for this video?
yes if you use this machine at mega high PSI it almost becomes counter production when foaming it is just too powerful and the reservoir will be empty in seconds
It's $99! You need to be checked by a medical professional.
READ it is $59 not $99
@@autofanaticcars Nope. Checked their site today. $99.
No they make two cannons the Boss one is $99 this one is $59
Thanks for the video. Great Foam Cannon from Griots Garage, When are you planning to get the snow storm unscented shampoo in the store?
should be in my store end of next week but i have some samples we can sell you during the development phase in various colors and scents.
Overall, we like the unscented shampoo comparing with the hydro suds ceramic car soap that smell like a generic red bull.
our new version has a very mild scent by the chemistry but nothing overwhelming like most soaps
AF what is your spanner brand ?5:07
I have various from Gear Wrench, Snap On and USAG
So damn early
First
Is this better then the boss or the mjjc pro
yes it is
When can we expect the new 007 snow storm?
few more weeks, soap production is finished now we are scheduled to be bottled and warehoused soon. stay tuned
Aren't you supposed to wet a car 1st then put soap on it??
you can do that but the pre-rinse water left on the car makes the foam slide off to quick which is almost counter productive, i like to not pre rinse so the force of the foam and water coming out of the foam cannon blasts away the dirt on the top of the paint and the soap sticks for longer to do a contact wash or touch less wash.
@@autofanaticcars But.....when I pre rinse with a power washer it takes off a ton of dirt and dust so.....
What pressure washer are you using?
Northstar 230V there are two videos on this channel from a few months back if you want to learn more about my rig
Me who just ordered a pf22.2: 🥲
the pf22 works awesome but the ergonomics simply SUCK and until they redesign it i am sticking to this one. I just gave away my Weirannan cannons to a fan.
I am planning on using the pf22 for the snow foam and my cheaper foam cannon for wheel cleaner. Might have to give this one a try too!
Definitely will be looking out for your new soap so far everything I have used from your product line is awesome!
Awesome! Thank you!
I like how your 007 not thick like maple syrup! Also, what psi did you set the northstar to?
Hey Auto, do you mind sending me your email to ask you some questions?
Literally just bought a new PF22.2 😭😭 Those suds are amazing out of the new Griot’s unit! Not bad at all for the price.
Couldn't agree more!
