What are your Foam Gun thoughts?

[YankeeFan]

After a little Searching found the foam gun was became popular around June of 2006. Now that many have used it for about 10 months what are your thoughts? Is it better than the two bucket system? Do you find it, at all, cumbersome to use? Do most of you have a quick disconnect to use your own nozzle or does the foammaster nozzle work well enough once disconnected from the canister? Do you spray the whole car as many pics show or do you do section by section like you would without the gun? Was looking to buy it but gotta ask these questions prior to spending $60 to spray soapy-water.

I didn't spend $60 on the Gilmour Foamaster, but did spend about $20 at the one that Lowe's sells. I am very pleased with it.

the foam gun is awesome recived mine last week and love it. i use it with d/p extreme foam solution and it sprays a ton of foam . what i do is spray the car first with the foam let it soak for 30 sec or so then start washing with the 2 bucket method always even with the gun . also its fun to use . i say pick one up there great. its going to come in real handy in the winter when my trucks full of salt.

Trh raises a good point: even if you're using the Foamaster, I would still use the two bucket method.

I have the autogeek foam gun, if you are a car washer, this item is great to have!

My Avalanche is a DD, I can't put 4-5hrs into a full detail each week for it to be left outside 24x7 ... so, washing that plus the Pilot takes time! The foam gun actually helps speed up the weekly washes. I have 6 eurow mitts that I use with the 2 bucket method ... I don't really "rinse" until I'm done, unless I'm in direct sun?

2 vehicles washed, stoner'd winders, spray-n-gloss'd paint, tire shined ... right around 1hr!

Use the two bucket even with the foam gun. It is great.

Wouldn't it also help reduce marring?

Can you use any type of soap?


yup...you can even fill it with degreasers....and mix up just about anything liquid in them...

[joe.p]

you can use any good car shampoo some soaps make for better foam..AG sells the DP extreme foam soap developed for the FG

When my truck is very dirty, I fill it 50/50 with PB Bug Squash and Megs Gold Class. Works great!
