I first thought I owned a Riccardo Foam Cannon but after closer inspection it's just a MTM Hydro. Basically I saw PB's new foam cannon video and decided to clean my foam cannon.



What you'll need for this

  • Foam Cannon
  • A small L key or other small diameter tool
  • 7/8th inch spanner or wrench
  • Patience
  • CLR
  • Tooth brush or similar
I removed the bottle leaving me with the head only

This is the first pin you need to push out with your small diameter tool

Now slowly YANK the black spray adjuster out

Next take your 7/8th inch spanner and grab hold of the the brass thing you see in the picture

After you release the initial tension you should be good to just loosen away by hand

Can you see the little metal filter inside that piece

I use the end of a L key to push it out

Next put that piece inside disposable bowl, if you have a plastic one it's way better as I found out that CLR eats away at these things so I

changed it

Make sure you coat everything

I then ran it under warm water with an old toothbrush to really make sure I got it clean. It's good as new now

Did you say this will work on an Autogeek cannon too? Great write up-i could have used it a month ago!



Sorry I don't have knowledge of the AutoGeek foam cannon but if looks the same with the same sort of fittings then it's probably going to the same procedure more or less
