foam gun!!!

[trhland]

i was thinking of buying the foam gun .after you spray the car with the soap can you take off the sprayer part and use it to spray down with clean water?? instead of me having to take the whole thing off and installing onother nozzel?

I'm preaty sure it has a quick disconect so you are able to do that but if you want just a gental sheeting action it wont work, it is just like a standard garden sprayer

Yes you can, it has a quick release on the canister.

Here's my question with the foam gun. Do most of you soak the entire car, or even just half of the car with the soapy foam and then scrub it? It's not really possible to do this in the hot sun is it? Wouldn't the soap and water potentially dry up on the vehicile before you have a chance of rinsing it?

You do understand that there is a lever to switch from soap to water?

I now have two of the quart ones. One for home and one for boat. Size is fine for either. You might get an extra bottle as a spare.
It has a disconnect between the nozzle and the canister. I use the extra one between the nozzle and the cutoff switch (see Killr's). I also have a 3' piece from a dead hose that will quick connect on for flood rinse. I try to keep metal parts away from paint and it calms down the water discharge from the cutoff.
For the car I rinse, foam, rinse the whole car and then do a section at a time with the gun and a scmitt. The boat is more of a rinse, foam, scrub the fish blood, rinse, walk away proposition. Perfect!
