Cheap foam gun?

[agarabaghi]

I thought I had seen a thread about a fairly inexpensive foam gun... ? Any help would be appreciated.

Do you mean foam canon/lance? The type that attaches onto a pressure washer?

If so, I would suggest typing "foam blaster" into google and you will find what you are looking for.

[agarabaghi]

Can a foam gun / canon not be used with a regular garden hose? I don't have a pw.

Also reading, Im not sure if i really need a foam gun now... seems like a a lot of debate as to weather it is worth it or not..

[DirtyBlackHoe]

Foam gun is for a garden hose
Foam cannon/lance is for a pressure washer

[zmcgovern45]

Foam cannons (for pw) or foam guns (for hoses) are definitely more of a "luxury item"... I find them particularly useful when stripping LSP prior to a correction job, or when a car is particularly dirty, but they are definitely not a necessary tool to have.

gilmore foam gun is what your looking for... i actualy might be selling mine soon

Ace hardware sells a smaller version of the Gilmore foam gun and it's like $20 if I remember correctly. I don't think you can beat that

I bought it and must say it works extremely well for me, I was surprised at the results.
The one I bought has a rubber tip at the end of the nozzle.

just buy a real (gilmour) foam gun and be done with it. it may cost a little more than some would like to pay, but it will last forever and you won't waste money in the long run...

I have a Gilmore and it's worth every penny.

Since I do conventional washes so infrequently now I'm content with using my Ortho dial-a-spray I had sitting in the garage. It actually works OK. I store the shampoo in the reservoir straight.

Gilmore has a couple of versions.

Gilmour 75QGFMR Foamaster Adjustable Multi Ratio Cleaning Gun
Gilmour 95QGFMR Foamaster II Cleaning Sprayer

Splurge for the 75QGFMR more versatile and looks better constructed.
Autogeek only sells the better version under several names. Go for it.

I started out using my garden sprayer, and while it does work, there's more ratio control on the gilmore with a detachable hose nozzle and a reservoir that always dangles in the correct position

A luxury item that's FUN TO USE

I have one, I sure use MUCH more shampoo than I used to. I think it's worth it. I have the Gilmour with adjustable ratios, purchased back in 2006 or so. It still works.

I have found that Meguiar's Gold Class and NXT Car Wash (R.I.P.) foamed the best. I have Chemical Guys Mr. Pink and it hardly foams, but it is super slick.

I use my Gilmour with DG 901 without adding any water on setting of A. An inch of soap lasts me 4 or more washes (uses very little with no waste).
