i first wanted a soap foam gun such as the gilmours style. then noticed there was a pressure washer one as well (i own a 3k psi pressure washer that i don't use for cars much). and then i see there is also a tornador foam gun that works off the solution and compressed air (i have a big enough compressor to use as well, plenty big).
my problem is.... what is going to work best for what application?
some people will pull their pressure washer out every time they wash a car, which isn't what i do because mine is gas powered. so i figured this would be out of the running, even though it provides probably the best of both worlds in the foam category.
and likewise, some people without will just use a hose, but the one thing i wish the water foam guns did was give a longer clinging foam.
and i haven't seen many threads on it at all, but can the tornador foam gun be used as a first step in a wash with no problems? such as, can i use something like the foam gun to lay down a thick soap foam on the car, let it dwell for a minute or two, then blast off or just wash directly over it?
and how well does each of these types of applications work for stripping lsps with something like a high concentration of a solution like CG-CWG, or dawn, or anything used as a stripping agent, possibly a foaming apc even.
sorry for so many questions, but this is something thats been bugging me, and i held out on purchasing one through the memorial day sale because i didn't want to end up wasting money on something that wasn't going to be the best for my application
