Foam Cannon Washing

This detergent is designed for foam cannon applications. Unlike regular soaps, it’s mixed with water to create a clingy lather that stays on the surface longer — allowing the active cleaning agents to break down grease, mud, dust, tar and road grime. The result is a safer, more efficient wash that reduces scrubbing and minimizes swirl marks or micro-abrasions.

For washing:

  • Cars, trucks, SUVs and RVs

  • Motorcycles and off-road vehicles

  • Commercial fleets and trailers

  • Vinyl siding, outdoor equipment and more

Safe for use on paint, glass, plastic and metal surfaces.

Application

To get the best out of the BE Pressure Washer Car Wash Detergent follow these simple steps:

  1. Attach Foam Cannon
    Connect your foam cannon to your pressure washer using the QD (quick disconnect) coupling. Fill the foam cannon reservoir with a diluted mix of detergent and water (1:10 ratio), use only a small amount of detergent for effective cleaning.

  2. Pre-Rinse the Vehicle
    Spray down the vehicle with plain water to cool the surface and loosen surface dirt.

  3. Apply Foam
    Cover the entire vehicle with thick foam using the foam cannon. Start at the top and work your way down for even coverage.

  4. Dwell Time
    Let the foam sit on the surface for several minutes to lift contaminants. Do not let the foam dry.

  5. Rinse Thoroughly
    Rinse off the foam and lifted dirt with clean water under pressure. Follow up with a microfiber mitt wash if needed, then rinse again.

  6. Dry the Surface
    Grab a microfiber drying towel or use an air blower to finish the process and prevent water spots.

Note: The detergent can also be used to clean windows as part of your car washing process for streak-free results.

Car Wash Safety PrecautionsWhen it comes to car washing, safety is just as important as getting a perfect finish. Always wear protective gear like gloves and safety glasses to protect your skin and eyes from car wash soaps and cleaning products. Choose a well ventilated area to wash your car and avoid direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent overheating and accidental burns.

Be mindful of the products you use—some car wash soaps contain chemicals that can irritate your skin or be inhaled. Always read the labels and follow instructions. To protect your car’s paintwork use only soft microfiber towels and gentle cleaning tools that won’t scratch or swirl. When rinsing use a spray bottle or a hose with a spray nozzle to control water flow and prevent water spots.

By following these car wash safety precautions you’ll not only protect yourself but also your car washing routine will be safe, effective and gentle on your vehicle.

Environmentally Friendly Car Washing

Caring for your car doesn’t have to come at the expense of the environment. Adopting environmentally friendly car washing practices is a smart way to keep your car looking great and minimize your ecological footprint. Start by choosing eco friendly car wash soaps that are biodegradable and free from harsh chemicals—products like Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Wash are pH balanced and gentle on your car and the planet.

Whenever possible wash your car on a grassy or gravel surface which helps filter runoff and prevent soapy water from entering storm drains. Use a bucket to control water usage and consider tools like a foam cannon or spray bottle to apply soap efficiently and reduce waste. These methods not only conserve water but also ensure a thorough and gentle clean.

By making these small changes to your car washing routine you’ll help the environment, save water and keep your car clean and shiny—all while using less product and fewer chemicals.

Car Wash Soap Ingredients

What goes into your car wash soap can make a big difference in the results you get and the protection you provide for your vehicle. Most car wash soaps are formulated with a blend of surfactants and detergents that work together to lift dirt, grime and road film from your car’s surface. High quality soaps like Chemical Guys Mr. Pink often include foaming agents for rich suds and added ingredients like wax, silicone or even ceramic coating for extra shine and protection.When choosing car wash soaps make sure they are gentle and specifically designed for automotive use. Don’t use dish soap or household cleaners as they can contain harsh chemicals that strip away wax and damage your car’s paint. Instead look for products that are pH balanced and free from aggressive additives for a safe and effective wash that maintains your vehicle’s finish.

By choosing the right car wash soap ingredients you’ll get a deep clean, protect your paint and enhance your car’s shine—without the risk of unnecessary chemicals.

Common Car Wash Mistakes

Even the most enthusiastic car owners can make mistakes that compromise their car’s appearance and protection. One common error is using too much car wash soap or the wrong type which can leave behind streaks, residue and even strip away protective wax. Washing your car in direct sunlight or with hot water can also cause water spots and make it harder to get a perfect finish.

Another common mistake is using abrasive materials like rough towels or scrub brushes which can scratch your car’s paint and damage the clear coat. To avoid these pitfalls always use a soft microfiber towel and an automotive specific car wash soap. Wash your car in a shaded area with cool water and take your time to rinse and dry thoroughly.

By avoiding these common car wash mistakes you’ll protect your car’s paint, save money on repairs and have a clean and shiny car every time you wash.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pressure Washers

How to store a pressure washer?

To ensure the durability of your heavy duty pressure washer:

  • Empty the gas tank to prevent fuel from degrading or clogging the engine.
  • Empty the pump and hoses of any remaining water.
  • Perform necessary maintenance before storage.
  • Store in a dry area.
  • Cover.

What is a pressure washer?

A power washer is a cleaning machine that uses a gasoline engine to power a high pressure water pump and nozzle. It’s used to clean driveways, decks, vehicles, outdoor furniture and more by spraying water at high PSI to remove dirt, grime, mold and other debris.Many models also come with a detergent tank for added cleaning power.

How does a power washer work?

A power washer works by drawing water from a connected hose and pumping it through a high pressure nozzle. The gas engine powers the pump which pressurizes the water and then expels it through the nozzle at high speed to clean the surface. The water pressure is measured in PSI (pounds per square inch) and the flow rate is measured in GPM (gallons per minute).Many models also feature adjustable water pressure settings to cater to different cleaning needs. BE makes pressure washing easy with models available for light jobs and heavy duty commercial cleaning projects.

Gas vs Electric power washers?

The main difference is that a gas pressure washer, known for its cleaning power, is powered by a gasoline engine, making it more powerful and portable, while an electric pressure washer is powered by electricity and is generally quieter and lighter.

Gas pressure washers are for heavy duty and large areas due to their durability, whereas electric pressure washers are for smaller jobs.

Your BE electric pressure washer is perfect for smaller jobs and built for portability, and we offer a wide range of electric models. Included with our electric models is a long extension cord for use anywhere around your house.

What to consider?

When choosing a gas pressure washer consider:

  • Pressure (PSI): More PSI means more cleaning power but also more potential for damaging delicate surfaces.
  • Flow Rate (GPM): More GPM means faster cleaning as more water is dispensed.
  • Engine Power: Bigger engines mean more durability and power.
  • Portability: Weight, handle design and wheel size for easier to move.
  • Nozzles: Multiple spray nozzles to adjust the spray pattern for different tasks.
  • Adjustable Nozzle: Allows for fine-tuning the spray intensity and pattern for various cleaning needs.

How much pressure do I need for?

The required pressure (PSI) and cleaning power depend on the surface you’re cleaning:

  • Light duty (car washing, outdoor furniture): 1,300-1,800 PSI.
  • Medium duty (patios, fences, decks): 2,000-3,000 PSI.
  • Heavy duty (driveways, brick walls, large equipment): 3,000+ PSI.

Many pressure washers come with adjustable pressure settings to handle different cleaning tasks effectively.

Can a pressure washing damage surfaces?

Yes, a power washer can damage surfaces if used incorrectly. High pressure water can strip paint, dent soft surfaces or even cause structural damage if the pressure is too high or the nozzle is held too close to the surface. Always use the right PSI for the material you’re cleaning and keep a safe distance from delicate surfaces.

To prevent damage, consider using a model with adjustable pressure settings.

How to maintain your pressure washer?

To ensure the durability and smooth operation of a pressure washer:

  • Change the oil as per manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Clean or replace the air filter to ensure good airflow.
  • Inspect and clean the nozzle regularly to prevent clogs.
  • Drain the gas tank if you’re storing the washer for a long time.
  • Check the hoses for leaks or damage and replace them if needed.
  • Follow regular maintenance requirements to keep the washer in optimal condition.

Can I use a pressure washer in cold weather and low water temperature?

You can use a pressure washer in cold weather but it’s more difficult. The water flow rate in the hoses and pump can freeze and damage the equipment. If you plan to use your pressure washer in cold temperatures make sure to winterize it and store it in a warm area when not in use. You can also use anti-freeze solutions for pressure washers.

Some models are designed to use hot water, which can be particularly effective for cleaning in cold weather.

Do I need any accessories?
