I just received the last part from AR Blue's website, the bayonet adapter, so I haven't had a chance to fit it on yet. But here's the picture you requested... I don't know where to go from here, kind of scratching my head.

Re: My solution to $150 foam guns...

I have an older Husky 1750 psi pressure washer which uses the Bosch Style connector. I would like to order the MTM Hydro, or the G-Foam Blaster, but cannot figure out how to get them to connect. I don't want to order a foamer that I can't use.
AG sells the following adapter. Will this directly fit either of the above foamers?

Bosch Pressure Washer Fitting

Apparently the G-Foam only uses a 1/4" quick disconnect, but the MTM can use 1/4" quick disconnect, or M22 threaded in place of the 1/4".

Re: My solution to $150 foam guns...

I'd love to get a power washer and one of the foam guns, but it seems not everyone has the same results based on soap, pressure washer, etc. Blah, maybe I'll stick to 'the mitt'

Re: My solution to $150 foam guns...

Can someone explain how this is better than washing with the two bucket method? It seems to add an extra step since you're foaming the car and rinsing it off then foaming it again then washing it with two buckets.

Re: My solution to $150 foam guns...

The home-depot foamer lasted me maybe 20-30 uses then it petered out. I still think I got my monies worth.

The foam is supposed to lift up dirt, and when you wash them off you have less dirt on the car. Less dirt when hand washing is supposed to mean less swirls.

Yeah, it adds a step. Or if you're lazy like me, apply opticoat. Then foam car. Rinse car. Dry car. Done
