i am new to detail

and i love the thickness of the foam gun provided ( watched on youtube )
and i found that some foam gun wont make a snowing result and the foam wont stick to the paint

so.....please suggest me a good foam gun which is pretty cheap and looks like the video

That's a foam cannon (attached to a pressure washer)...I have a camspray. A foam "gun" will not do that (attaches to a garden hose)...I have a Gilmour. I like both for different needs, but the one in the photo looks like a CamSpray.

you can have a foam cannon with a garden hose as long as you have a pressure washer in between :p

A garden hose is needed to use either foamer, but you will NEVER get plain water to clean, dislodge, and lubricate like a foam cannon.

DP Xtreme Foam + A Gilmour foam gun will yield results closest to a foam cannon. It was made specifically for the foam gun ...

Autogeek Quart Foamaster Foam Gun with FREE BONUS (http://autogeek.net/auqufofogun.html) Has different settings for the type of foam you want. The model I have doesn't and it still does its job - provide added lubricity when washing.

A foam cannon will cost a minimum of $90 alone, plus a PW which is a lot more than the $10 in your budget.

Gilmour makes the foam gun that Autogeek, Wolfgang, etc. sell. They have a custom tank with their own logo, but it's a Gilmour gun.

The #95QGFMR and the #75QGFMR both get good reviews on this board.

As far as I know, Gilmore is pretty much your best bet if you don't have a pressure washer.

If there is a pw cheaper than $100 I probably wouldn't bother getting it. Can't see it lasting too long. The Troy Bilt I would like to have is about $300 - hence why I haven't bought it.

The only cordless "pressure washer" I know of is made by Nomad Nomad 12 Volt Auto Cord Portable Power Cleaner - Buy Direct -Wash, clean, spray, rise or mist all of your gear - clothing, shoes and more at picnics, tailgate parties, soccer games and sports events (http://www.nomad2go.com/pressure-washer-washing/nomad-12-volt-corded.aspx) but a foam cannon would obviously not fit it. It is more used for light cleaning rather than car washing.
