- Fill the bottle with 950ml of water.
- Add 50ml of soap to the bottle (final volume 1000ml)
- Secure the foam cannon body back onto the bottle, turning clockwise to lock it down.
- Gently shake to mix the soap and water.

Tips and Tricks
- After foaming the vehicle, empty the remaining soap mixture into your wash bucket and rinse out the bottle. Soap mixture that has been stored does not foam as well next time.
- It’s a good idea to have a repair kit or replacement filter on hand.
- When removing or replacing the cap, hold the bottle from underneath while gripping the black adaptor cap and gently twist. Refrain from twisting from the foam cannon body itself.
Price
Priced at roughly $150, it's not the cheapest option. But remember, you'll have this for a long time, making it a worthwhile investment for a full car detailing setup.
