Pinnacle Foam Gun question

[jlb85]

I got the Pinnacle Foam Gun a few weeks back, and got to use it for the first time yesterday to wash my car. However I was not able to get it to make thick foam like I see in some of your threads. I used Poorboys Super Suds undiluted in the can. I played around with all the soap flow settings, but was not able to get my suds to stick. What is the technique for super thick suds? What am I doing wrong?

The foam from a Foam Gun will not stick to the car the same way the foam from a Foam Cannon will. Foam Cannon is an attachment to a pressure washer. If you want shaving cream style foam, you'll need a pressure washer.

Thanks for the reply!

I have a pressure washer, a B&D electric. I will look into this Foam Cannon attachment. If not I guess I will stick with the foam gun...

YW, I've kinda been looking for a PW myself. Good luck.

What I found at least while using the DP foam shampoo was you have to swirl the mixture around first

DP Xtreme Foam is some THICK stuff

Try this: mix the tank 3 parts water to 1 part soap, then set the slide to the 3rd hole from the left which should be 4:1. This will give you 1oz. soap per gallon, but by thinning the solution it will come out much easier than soap alone. You will empty the tank a little quicker, but you won't be wasting any soap and you will get much better foaming action.

Thanks, I'll try that.

make sure the little screw on top of settings is tightly closed.
