Conclusion. Overall I would recommend using a foam cannon for some people, especially if you're a car enthusiast that owns a larger truck or SUV.

Is a foam cannon better than a foam gun?
Whereas a Foam Cannon will lay down a thick shaving-cream-like layer of white foam over the entire surface, the Foam Gun with a water hose simply does not have enough water pressure to create such a thick foam, but it will still cover the surface in thick suds to help loosen and lift dirt more easily.
Are foam cannons good for your car?

Simply put a foam gun is meant to be used on a regular water (garden) hose. Both can be equipped with quick connect fitting to make for a quick swap to pure rinse water. Naturally, the foam gun on the garden hose is not going to generate near as much foam as the foam cannon on a pressure washer.
