Foam Cannon to Wash RV

I just purchased this to wash the RV.

Trinova Foam Cannon (amazon) to be used with a pressure washer. We used the Armorall Ceramic Wash (Wallmart) with it per the instructions. OMG the foam sticks to the side of the RV, we sprayed 8-foot sections, both my wife and I used nylon brushes to rub it in, used the pressure washer to rinse it off, then used the leaf blower to dry it off. Took about 45 minutes to do the whole RV.

The results were amazing. Been at the campsite for several days now and the usual dust and film don't seem to stick to it. Highly recommend. Also, water seems to baed off of it.

Just used the meguiar’s ceramic with foam cannon and pressure washer on my truck, and wife’s Subaru. Looks great… and I agree seems to stay cleaner longer. I intend to do the rv at some point.

Can’t guarantee the results without using ones marked for a foam cannon, but I have used reg auto soap in higher concentration and it works. ymmv

I recently got a foam cannon for my pressure washer. I used it with an open bottle of McGuire's carwash soap, that I have been using for some time.

It really put the suds on. What I did not like, was the amount of soap I used. I am not sure it made the washing process any easier. All I know it used ALOT of soap. I will give it a few more tries before I say one way or another.

Was the soap specifically for a foam cannon? I use very little Megiuiars premium wash when I use the cannon.

No, I just used McGuire's Ultimate Wash & Wax. Mixed it per the instructions.

I did wash the TT, TV & the DW's car. Might have had the adjustable noozle open to wide.
