Adams was running a 20% deal, so figured I’d see what all the hoopla is all about LOL

The PF22.2 is a great foam canon. I have 2 of them

I know our buddy Dyeon uses it too. Been using an Adams foam cannon for a while. It’s ok but figured I’d move up in the world LOL

I just watched their intro video for it as well as Cars with Kiev’s video testing it out. Looks like a quality cannon for half the price of the well-known ones.

Same, I am still working on a Shampoo+ gallon, so I did the Decon soap. They technically don't drop til next week I don't think, I think Keav and the other influencers got a preview sample

Thanks for the info about his channel Brian, I too just watched the video. I'd never run across his channel before but it is well done and I sub'.

I was impressed with the bottle and the cannon but not sure if it's enough better than the MTM. That said, I need to check the orifice in my gun (and the ratio) because my Reset foam is not as dry as his and it's semi runny so there's more water in mine. Might be the Incredible Suds soap but I think it's the gun and orifice.

Deyon (@DFB5.0 or anyone else): My apologies for a lousy memory but have you ever tried that soap? I did like the little kit with the incrementally sized rods. MOF, I don't even remember what size orifice is in the PF22. Any plans on testing the ADS gun?

Reset foams pretty well out of my Adams cannon, I don’t have anymore so can’t compare against MTM or DRFT unfortunately. I’ve never tried Incredible Suds but I think Yvan has done a few videos on it to show how it foams.

It’s half the price of the MTM and the Nix cannon has had many great reviews.

PF22.2 comes with a 1.25 orfice out of the box. And incredible suds does make INCREDIBLE suds. It is VERY thick and gloopy and foams super easy. I have went thru 3 500 mil bottles of it. Its not my favorite, but it does work amazingly well. Its VERY purply and Grapey smelling. Like Grape Kool Aid on steroids. The PF22.2 is an amazing canon ( I have 2 of them ) . I just have a thing for nice shiny new things.

As far as runny foam, now that I have my Active 2.3, I switched to 1.45 orfice in my Active canon, and have 1.5 in my PF22.2's. Much runnier now, but that is OK with me. Runny actually works better most times, pulls the dirt off better in my opinion.. This was from my Active canon this morning, Gyeon Bathe 10:1 in the canon with a 1.45 orfice...

4 cars thru my bay today. SHEW I am tired... My daily driver first. Tried Vonixx V FLOC. It is OK, Very thick and gloopy, grapey smelling, much like Incredible suds. Slick, cleaned well... VERY cost efficient. A 1.5 liter bottle was only like 30 bucks from the Clean Garage.

Then did my friends 25 Cali Special, my friends' 20 Bullitt, both of those with Gyeon Bathe in the canon and bucket, and P&S Frostbite in the wheel bucket. ADS Wheel and tire cleaners respectively. I then did my friend's 24 GT convertible. That one got a 6 month ceramic maintenance wash. Full dousing with Gtechniq W6 iron remover, then Carpro Lift foam down. Scrubbed the top while that foam was on. Rinse, then foam down with Descale and bucket wash. ADS Wheel and tire respectively on the rubber and wheels. 6 months since I applied ADS Quartz V1. Still working AMAZING...

Reset was like that in the early days, but they changed the formula when foam cannons really took off. With a heavy concentration (100 - 150ml), Reset will FOAM like no tomorrow. You should still get great foam with 60 - 80ml though, so perhaps check that the mesh screen in the foam cannon is not blocked.............................and that you have the top adjuster wide open, its easy enough to bump.

Incredible Suds is a fantastic soap. The formula has recently been updated to reduce the thickness of the soap without hampering foam quality. They also revised the label as the original had the dilution way too rich (labels are expensive to change, so they had to rely on customers reading the website descriptions or via reviews).

Mike G explains it in the below video (just note that was a paid review) -
Weekend Wash with DIY Detail Incredible Suds Type 2 Car Shampoo

Incredible Suds is also slightly alkaline, which is why it cleans quite well. I also loved the free rinsing properties. Overall, I really liked using Incredible Suds, however there are a few reasons why I no longer stock it.

Firstly, it's just too expensive in Australia, $34.95 for 473ml (16-oz) or $179.95 for 3.78 Lt (1 gallon). For perspective, Carpro Reset is $25.95 for 500ml and $134.95 for 4-litres, and it's the better soap by far.

Secondly, I really don't care for the business ethics and general attitude of the DIY brand and wider THOR group of companies......................very cult like and not something I want to support. There is a reason why Armour Detail Supply moved away from the THOR group. (THOR - The House Of Rags).

Any plans on testing the ADS gun?

Unlikely, the MTM remains one of the leaders in this space and I don't see any reason to add the ADS version into my artillery.
