Does anyone have any pics on how this is set up?

I have the basic Karcher system and I just got the Foam cannon in. But I cant figure out how they go together.

I have never turned on the Karcher yet.....
I have the wand, the 2 attachments, and the karcher.

The Foam cannon comes in 3 pieces, the handle, the sprayer and the bottle.

I just got a karcher and was looking at the cannon to go with it. It appears that you have to get another hose made to connect it to the washer...or buy the 50 ft. one from justin, since the hose does not disconnect from the karcher wand.

I believe Rey05 is correct. You'll need a new hose (22mm I think) to connect to your Karcher. I'm waiting on my hose to arrive but after I get it all setup, I'll post some pics.

You will have to remove the 25ft stock hose and wand from the Karcher and buy a 25ft pressure washer hose with one Female 22mm connection for the Karcher and then buy the other connection for the foam gun spray inlet to hook to. Your looking at about $30-40 more dollars. here is a action shot....

This is so awesome, I want this stuff SO bad!

FMINUS: what Karcher did you buy at Wal Mart? And where did you buy the Foam Cannon from?

FMINUS, give us the report! What did you have to do to get the thing hooked up to the Kratcher? The picture is amazing, but did it actually make a difference in cleaning the car? What soap did you use? Did you rinse or use a mitt next?

I drove all around town looking for an attachment or adapter.... no luck.

So I got the Karcher at Big Lots for $70 or 80 (I cant remember, OrngeZ got the same one for 60.. :( )

I then had to buy a PW wand for $50 (came with 5 nozzles, long nose, and attachements)

Then I had to get an extension hose at Walmart because the part thats connected to the Karcher gun is NOT detachable. $30

The gun was from Justin $110-130 (Again, I cant remember)

I ordered the karcher attachment from the UK so I wont need the gun I bought from Lowes anymore.

I dont like the lowes gun because the extension (which is not removable) is like 2 feet long plus the cannon and the handle the thing is almost like 4 feet long. I have to stand SO far from teh car to spray!!!

I used 1/2 oz of CG Wash and Gloss and 1 oz of DG 901

I personally like this a lot more than the foam gun.
I presoaked the car (pic above)
Then sprayed the panel again that I was about to wash.
Then rinsed the mitt in the bucket of water w a grit guard
