MTM Short Gun & Foam Cannon Upgrade Kit · Karcher HD Easy!Lock / Nv Snow - 1L$309.95 About MTM Short Gun & Foam Cannon Upgrade Kit
Built for those ready to ditch the stock gear, the MTM Short Gun & Foam Cannon Upgrade Kit delivers pro level feel, flexibility and foam, all in one clean tailored kit.
This isn’t your average pressure washer add on. The MTM Short Gun & Foam Cannon Upgrade Kit is built for serious users who want better ergonomics, better foam and better results.
At its core is the MTM SG35 Short Gun, a compact, Italian built unit designed with brass internals, stainless steel components and an impressive 5075 PSI rating. It’s balanced in the hand, tight in operation and eliminates the bulk and awkward angles of longer factory guns.
But it’s the inclusion of the MTM PF22.3 Foam Cannon that pushes this kit into elite territory. Widely recognised by professionals as the best foam cannon in the world, the PF22.3 sets the standard for adjustability, build quality and performance. It features a wide mouth 1L bottle for easy filling, a top mounted dial to fine tune chemical concentration and a dual adjustable nozzle that lets you control both spray width and orientation. Whether you’re laying down a vertical sheet or horizontal fan, the PF22.3 delivers thick, shaving cream style foam that sticks, softens grime and preps the surface like nothing else.
You also get to choose your 1L bottle of premium snow foam:
- Nv SNOW – a pH neutral gloss-friendly foam, ideal for ceramic coatings and routine maintenance washes
- CARPRO Lift – a more powerful alkaline pre-wash foam that cuts through heavy grime, bugs and road film
- Koch Chemie GSF – a versatile pH neutral snow foam with rich foam and added gloss
Matched with a full set of 1/4” QC nozzles and your choice of quick-connect adaptor (Gerni, Karcher, Stihl etc.), this is a plug and play foam gun upgrade kit that adds professional control and cleaning power to your routine - no compromise, no guesswork.
Difference Between Snow Foam Options
Nv SNOW – pH neutral and safe for all protection. Creates thick, clinging foam with gloss-friendly surfactants. Ideal for coated cars and maintenance washes.
CARPRO Lift – Alkaline (high pH) with more cleaning power. Targets grime, bug guts, and road film. Best for dirtier vehicles or deeper pre-washes. CARPRO says it's safe on CQUARTZ coatings at normal dilution.
Koch Chemie GSF – pH neutral. Balances visual gloss, cleaning, and safe chemistry. Versatile foam with good cling and consistent performance. A well-rounded choice.
Benefits of a Prewash
Using snow foam as a prewash significantly reduces the risk of scratches during your contact wash. By blanketing the surface in rich foam, you soften and lift grime before your mitt even touches the paint. That means fewer swirls, safer washes, and better long-term results.

- DMDaawud M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoBest foam canon for detailing
I was originally using my stock pressure washer soap gun and wand and when I upgraded to the mtm it felt like I was in the real detailing world especially when you pair it with Koch chemical gsf
- GGordonVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoExcellent!
I bought this kit (1L of Lift) to replace a failed lance assemby for my pressure washer. I ended up washing 3 cars and a box trailer back to back with it as it was so comfortable and satisfying to use. I only started to feel some fatigue in my hand towards the end of the final rinse (so i swapped hands and kept going)
I am considering buying another to replace some of my other guns which are not as comfortable to use
WCWaxit Car Care22 seconds agoGreat to hear you are so happy with the Short Gun kit. Glad it is comfortable for you to use, I am sure you will get plenty of use out of it!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review.
