Never heard of us?
A family business, not a brand
Jeremy Stevens started detailing in 1996 and built Shine Supply out of the family garage in 2008. His two sons work alongside him today, and it is still run out of one shop in Ventura, California. It has never been sold to private equity and it never will be.
Still on the fence, or just want to learn more about the products? Call us at 805-535-4332. You will talk to one of our team members, not a robot and not AI, and you will not get an automated email back. Your connection with us is our top priority, always.
In action
What it looks like on a car
Both cannons throw the same thick, clinging foam. This is what a full blanket looks like before you ever touch the paint.
The OriginalFoam thick enough to sit on the panel and cling to the wheel while it works.
The SlimA full blanket over a whole car in one pass, before anything touches the paint.
The foam is not the wash. It lifts and floats the loose dirt so there is less grit for your mitt to drag across the paint.
The difference
Four things change
The metal, the canister, the cap and the pickup. Everything else about these two is identical, foam included.
The Foam Thrower
Alloy, 1.2mm, 1L
Alloy body and the tougher bottle. The original, and still the workhorse.
Reach for it whenYou run strong chemicals through it, or you want the bottle that stands up to the most abuse.
- Alloy body
- Injection molded 1L canister with better acid and alkali resistance
- Improved cap threads for a tighter fit
- Wide mouth, so filling it is easier and it balances better when full
- Pickup runs through a plastic filter, so grit stays out of the line
$50.00and up
The Foam Thrower Slim
Brass, 1.2mm, 1L
Brass body, clear bottle, locking cap. The refined build.
Reach for it whenYou want to see your soap level and pull every last ounce out of the bottle.
- Brass body
- Clear 1L canister, so the soap level is never a guess
- The cap locks instead of threading. Half a twist and it seats, so there is nothing to tighten down
- Stainless steel counterweight ball on the pickup, so it keeps drawing when the bottle is low or leaning
- 360 degree spray control at any angle
$75.00and up
Short version. The Slim is brass with the clear bottle, the locking cap and the weighted pickup. The original is alloy with the tougher, more chemical resistant canister, improved cap threads and a filtered pickup. Neither one runs on a garden hose.

The build
Neither one is the downgrade
People assume the newer one is strictly better. It is not that simple. The Slim gives you a brass body, a clear bottle you can read at a glance, a cap that locks with half a twist, and a stainless steel counterweight ball that keeps drawing soap when the bottle is low or leaning.
The original gives you an injection molded canister with better acid and alkali resistance, a wider mouth that is easier to fill, better balance when it is full, and a filtered pickup. If you run strong chemicals through your cannon, that bottle is the one you want.

Before you buy
Questions we get
Which one should I get?
Both throw the same foam, so it comes down to the build. Get the Slim if you want the brass body, the clear bottle and the pickup that keeps drawing when the bottle is low. Get the original if you run strong chemicals through your cannon, since its injection molded bottle handles acids and alkalines better, or if you want the wider mouth for easier filling.
There is no wrong answer here. The original is not the old one we are clearing out, and the Slim is not a stripped down version.
Does either one work on a garden hose?
No. Both need a pressure washer. The Slim runs at 1600 to 2200 PSI. There is no version of either one that will foam off a hose bib.
How much soap do I use, and which one?
2 to 4 oz, then fill the rest of the bottle with water. Soap first, water second, every time.
Hotshot for a straight high foam wash or paint prep, Shift if the car is ceramic coated, Shine if it is waxed or sealed. A 16 oz of your choice comes free with either cannon.
Who actually owns Shine Supply?
Jeremy Stevens. He got into detailing in 1996, started Shine Supply in 2008, and it has grown into what it is today. His two sons, Colby and Cory, work alongside him, and the rest of the team has been with us a long time.
No private equity, no parent company. Just the family and the people we work with every day.
