The Field Guide.

Everything the kit does, how to run it, and how to keep the cannons working forever. Ten minutes of reading. Read it once — wash better every time after.

01 · What's in the Box
Nothing to fit. Nothing to build.
Labeled diagram of the Rinse+ Foam Cannon — pump mechanism, relief valve, interchangeable nozzles, measuring cup, and measuring marks

The cannons arrive assembled and ready to use. There's nothing to attach, screw on, or fit — unbox, mix, spray.

  • Two V2 Foam Cannons

    Two Foam Cannons. One for Pre-Wash, one for Snow Foam — you never rinse one out mid-wash to switch liquids.

  • Pre-Wash 16 fl oz

    Pre-Wash, 16 fl oz. Goes on first. Lifts road film, tar, and traffic film off the paint.

  • Snow Foam 16 fl oz

    Snow Foam, 16 fl oz. Goes on second. Carries the rest away in the rinse.

  • Measuring cup

    Measuring cup. Sits in the cannon. Use it to dose the concentrate — no guesswork.

  • Interchangeable nozzles

    2 × Brass nozzles. One black, one gold. Most people run black on the Pre-Wash and gold on the Snow Foam — a preference, not a rule.

  • Spare nozzle, filters and washer

    3 × Spare seals. Two red nozzle filters and a clear washer, in the bag with the nozzles. Spares, not parts you have to fit.

Safe on paint, trim and glass. There's nothing in either bottle that can hurt your finish.

02 · The Mix
One number to remember.
20 : 1
Twenty parts water. One part product.
Both liquids, same ratio, every time.
Car
Fill to 1L · 3 fills of the concentrate cup
A saloon takes the 1-liter fill. Per cannon.
Truck · large SUV
Fill to 1.5L · 5 fills of the concentrate cup
Anything bigger than a saloon — go to 1.5L or you'll run short before you finish the car.
Measuring product into the cannon at 20:1

Fill to the mark on the cannon, then add concentrate — water first, then product, it mixes cleaner that way. Stronger doesn't mean cleaner: mixing past 20:1 buys you nothing but an empty bottle. At the right ratio, each 16 oz bottle delivers 8–10 washes on a car, 6–8 on a full-size truck. Around two months before you reorder — and you only ever reorder the Refill Bundle.

03 · Maintenance Wash
Under twenty minutes.

No mitt. Nothing touches the paint. This is the one you'll run most weeks.

01 · Pre-Wash
Spray on dry paint
Cover the whole car, starting at the dirtiest panels: lower doors, rear bumper, wheel arches. Dwell 2–3 minutes. It's built to cling rather than run off, so it can go on thick and patchy — that's it working, not a fault. Don't let it dry on the panel; on a hot day, work in sections.

02 · Snow Foam
Cover and let it work
Switch to the Snow Foam cannon. Coat the car top to bottom in thick foam, straight over the Pre-Wash — no rinse in between. Dwell 3–5 minutes. The foam does the lifting — you don't scrub, you wait.

03 · Rinse
Top to bottom
Hose, bucket, or a jerry can — all work. A hose is easiest if you've got one, but you never need a pressure washer. Rinse until the foam runs clear. Everything comes off together.

04 · Dry
Towel it down
Dry with a clean microfiber towel, panel by panel. No streaks.

Three mistakes to skip
  • Washing in direct midday sun — product dries before it can work.
  • Mixing stronger than 20:1 — no extra clean, just wasted liquid.
  • Letting it air-dry — the rinse does the cleaning; the towel prevents the spots.
04 · Full Wash
Under thirty minutes.

The deeper clean. Every few weeks, or after a bad stretch of road. Needs a wash mitt.

01 · Pre-Wash
On dry paint
Same mix, same coverage. Dwell 2–3 minutes.

02 · Rinse
Grime goes first
Rinse loosened dirt before anything touches the paint. This is the difference. The Maintenance Wash skips it.

03 · Snow Foam
A fresh coat
Cover again. This coat becomes your wash soap. Dwell 3–5 minutes.

04 · Wash
Mitt over the foam
Clean mitt, foam as lubrication.

05 · Rinse & dry
Then the towel
Final rinse, then dry panel by panel. Don't air-dry.

05 · Cannon Operation
Hand pressure only. Respect the limits.

Each V2 cannon is a manually pressurized pump sprayer with a 2-liter tank. It runs on hand-pumped air — nothing else. Before first use, check the bottle, hose, pump, and nozzle are undamaged and fitted tight. If any part looks cracked, deformed, or altered, don't use it — contact us.

Pressurizing the V2 cannon by hand pump
  1. Unscrew the pump head and fill with diluted product. Don't overfill past the 2-liter mark.
  2. Refit the pump head securely. Check all fittings are tight.
  3. Pump to pressure — around 15–20 full strokes, depending on liquid volume. Pump until it feels firm and hard to push, then top up as you work round the car.
  4. Press the trigger to spray. Twist the nozzle to adjust foam thickness.
  5. After use, release all pressure through the safety valve before unscrewing the head. Every time. Never block or modify it.
Releasing pressure through the V2 cannon safety valve
The safety valve — release pressure here before opening. Every time.
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 component.
  • Repair a damaged cannon — tank, hose, handle, or fittings. Replace it. Reply to any of our emails and we'll sort it.
  • Put solvents, fuels, bleach, or corrosive chemicals in the tank. Rinse+ liquids and water only.
06 · Cannon Care
This is why they last forever.

Two minutes of care after each wash keeps the cannons working indefinitely.

  • 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. 41–86°F is the safe range. Same goes for the liquid bottles: cool, dry, sealed, never frozen.
07 · Product Safety
Handle it like you'd handle any cleaner.
  • Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and mouth. Gloves and eye protection are sensible, especially when mixing concentrate.
  • Eyes: rinse with water for 15+ minutes. Skin: wash with soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical advice.
  • If swallowed: rinse mouth, don't induce vomiting. Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Never mix Rinse+ liquids with other chemicals.
08 · Troubleshooting
Real questions, real answers.
The foam looks thin or watery
Nearly always pressure, not product. Pump it up properly and top up as you work round the car. If it's still thin, confirm the mix is 20:1 — over-diluted foam won't cling.
The Pre-Wash goes on thick and patchy
That's it working. It's built to cling rather than run off so it can sit on the panel and do its job, rather than sheet away like water.
You ran out before finishing the car
Step up to the 1.5 liter fill next time. One liter is a saloon fill — anything bigger needs the larger fill to make it round the car.
Pump won't 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.
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 washer while you were in there? There's a spare set in the small bag that shipped with the kit.
