01 · What's in the box
Nothing to fit. Nothing to build.
The cannons arrive assembled and ready to use. Unbox, mix and spray.
-
01
Two V2 Foam Cannons
One for Pre-Wash and one for Snow Foam. No rinsing one out mid-wash.
-
02
Pre-Wash · 16 fl oz
Goes on first. Lifts road film, tar and grime.
-
03
Snow Foam · 16 fl oz
Goes on second. Carries the rest away in the rinse.
-
04
Measuring cup
Sits in the cannon and doses the concentrate. It holds ½ fl oz.
-
05
Two nozzles per cannon
Two with each cannon — one brass, one chrome. One is fitted and one is the spare. They spray the same, so fit whichever you prefer.
-
06
Spares bag
Two red filters and a rubber grommet with each cannon. Spares — not parts you have to fit.
Safe on paint, trim and glass, used as directed.
02 · The mix
One number to remember.
Both liquids. The same ratio. Every time.
Water first Product second
The supplied measuring cup holds ½ fl oz.
Mixing stronger than 20:1 does not clean better. At the correct ratio, expect 8–10 washes on a car and 6–8 on a full-size truck.
03 · The Wash
30 minutes. Mitt over the foam.
Three stages. Two rinses. One dry. This is what the kit is for.
-
1 · Lift
-
2 · Carry away
-
3 · Finish
- 01 Start dry Start with the vehicle dry.
- 02 Pre-Wash the dirty half Lower panels, sides, front and rear. Dwell 2–3 minutes. Do not let it dry.
- 03 Rinse thoroughly Get the dirt off before anything touches the paint.
- 04 Snow Foam the whole vehicle Cover the car and dwell 3–5 minutes.
- 05 Mitt over the foam Use the Snow Foam as the wash soap. Work top to bottom. Over foam, never over grit.
- 06 Rinse thoroughly Remove the remaining foam.
- 07 Dry Finish with a microfiber drying towel. Panel by panel.
04 · The Top-Up
20 minutes. Foam only.
For a lightly dusted vehicle between washes. It still needs a rinse. Done in twenty minutes before dinner.
Contact step · no mitt
- 01 Start dry The vehicle should be dry and only lightly dusted.
- 02 Pre-Wash the dirty half Apply and dwell 2–3 minutes.
- 03 Snow Foam over the top No rinse between products. Dwell 3–5 minutes.
- 04 Rinse thoroughly Just water and a driveway. No pressure washer.
- 05 Dry Finish with a microfiber drying towel.
Skip three mistakes: direct midday sun, mixing stronger than 20:1, and letting the vehicle air-dry.
- Before first use, check the bottle, hose, pump and nozzle are undamaged and fitted tight. If any part looks cracked, deformed or altered, do not use it — contact us.
- Unscrew the pump head and fill with diluted product. Never fill past the 2L mark.
- Refit the pump head securely and check every fitting is tight.
- Pump until it feels firm and hard to push, then top up pressure as you work round the vehicle.
- Press the trigger to spray. Twist the nozzle to adjust the foam thickness.
- After use, release all pressure through the safety valve before unscrewing the head.
Every time: release pressure before unscrewing the head. Never block or modify the safety valve.
Never
- Over-pressurize the tank, or keep pumping past the point it feels firm and hard to push.
- Modify, block or interfere with the safety valve or any other component.
- Repair a damaged cannon — tank, hose, handle or fittings. Replace it. Reply to any of our emails and we will sort it.
- Put solvents, fuels, bleach or corrosive chemicals in the tank. RINSE+ liquids and water only.
- Rinse the tank with clean water after every use, to stop product build-up.
- Pump clean water through the nozzle until it sprays clear.
- Store depressurized, with the pump head loosened a turn to relieve the seals.
- Store indoors — away from frost, direct sun and extreme heat. Safe range 41–86°F.
The same storage rules apply to the liquid bottles: cool, dry, sealed and never frozen.
- Avoid contact with eyes, skin and mouth. Gloves and eye protection are sensible, especially when mixing concentrate.
- Eyes: rinse with water for 15 minutes or more. Skin: wash with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
- If swallowed: rinse the mouth and do not induce vomiting. Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Never mix RINSE+ liquids with other chemicals.
- The foam looks thin or watery
- Nearly always pressure, not product. Pump it up properly and top up as you work round the vehicle. If it is still thin, confirm the mix is 20:1 — over-diluted foam will not cling.
- The Pre-Wash goes on thick and patchy
- That is it working. It is built to cling rather than run off, so it can sit on the panel and do its job instead of sheeting away like water.
- You ran out before finishing the vehicle
- Step up to the 1.5L fill next time. One liter is the car fill — anything bigger needs the larger fill to make it round.
- The pump will not build pressure
- Check the pump head is screwed down fully and the safety valve is seated. A loose head is the cause nine times out of ten.
- The nozzle sputters or clogs
- Dried product in the nozzle. Pump clean water through until it runs clear, then twist the nozzle through its full range while spraying. Lost a filter or the grommet while you were in there? There is a spare set in the bag that shipped with the cannon.
