How to Use

Step 1: Prepare Your Foam Solution

Fill the 1-liter bottle with warm water and add your preferred foam cannon shampoo according to the chemical manufacturer's recommended dilution.

Step 2: Connect to Your Pressure Washer

Secure the bottle to the foam cannon and attach the stainless steel 1/4-inch quick-connect fitting to your compatible pressure washer gun.

Step 3: Adjust Foam Concentration

Turn the oversized metering knob clockwise for a richer foam mixture. Adjust the nozzle to achieve your preferred vertical or horizontal spray pattern.

Step 4: Apply Foam to the Vehicle

Spray an even layer of foam across the vehicle, allowing the cleaning solution to dwell and loosen surface contamination. Never allow the foam to dry on the surface.

Step 5: Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse the vehicle with clean water before proceeding with your preferred contact wash method.

Step 6: Clean & Store

After use, flush clean water through the cannon for 15–30 seconds, empty the bottle, and allow components to dry before storage.

💡 Pro Tip: For lower-flow electric pressure washers, install the included 1.1 mm orifice to improve foam production. For maximum performance, use warm water, a quality high-foaming shampoo, and adjust the metering knob until you achieve the desired foam consistency.

Dilution Ratios

The Armour DRFT Foam Cannon works with a variety of foam cannon-compatible shampoos and pre-wash chemicals. Dilution requirements vary by product and desired cleaning strength.

🧴 General Starting Point: Approximately 1–2 oz of foam cannon shampoo per 16 oz of water, when appropriate for the selected chemical.

🧴 Pre-Wash Solutions: Follow the manufacturer's recommended dilution for the specific cleaner and level of contamination.

🧴 Maintenance Wash Shampoos: Follow product-specific foam cannon dilution instructions to balance cleaning performance, lubrication, and chemical consumption.

Always follow the chemical manufacturer's dilution instructions. Foam thickness will vary with shampoo formulation, water quality, pressure washer flow rate, and metering adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Will the Armour DRFT Foam Cannon work with my pressure washer?

💡 Yes. DRFT uses a standard 1/4-inch quick-connect fitting and is designed for pressure washers operating between 800–3,000 PSI and 1.4–5.0 GPM. The included 1.1 mm orifice helps optimize foam production with lower-flow electric pressure washers.

❓ What is the difference between the 1.1 mm and 1.25 mm orifices?

💡 The pre-installed 1.25 mm orifice is designed for standard and higher-flow pressure washers. The included 1.1 mm orifice can improve foam concentration when using lower-flow electric models.

❓ Can I use any car shampoo with the DRFT Foam Cannon?

💡 DRFT is compatible with many foam cannon shampoos and suitable pre-wash solutions. For the best results, choose a product formulated for foam cannon application and follow its recommended dilution. Avoid incompatible aggressive chemicals that could damage the cannon's components.

❓ Why is my foam coming out thin or watery?

💡 Foam consistency depends on shampoo concentration, water quality, pressure washer flow rate, and nozzle settings. Try adjusting the metering knob clockwise, using warm water, checking the foam filter, or switching to the included 1.1 mm orifice for lower-flow machines.

❓ Can I use DRFT on ceramic-coated vehicles?

💡 Absolutely. When paired with a coating-safe, pH-neutral shampoo, DRFT is ideal for routine ceramic coating maintenance. The pre-wash process helps remove loose contamination before contact washing.

❓ How should I maintain the foam cannon?

💡 Flush clean water through the cannon for 15–30 seconds after each use. Periodically clean the pickup tube and mesh filter, inspect the seals, and store the cannon empty and dry to maintain consistent performance.
