Foam guns or foam cannons?
What are the differences and what are the advantages of using them? I only used 2 buckets methods. Are there any ways to make your own? Cause they are bit pricey?

Re: Foam guns or foam cannons?
I have this one on my radar for spring (Detroit, if it ever gets here). It's pretty cheap and I can use a hose. I'm sure it's not as good as the one you use with a pressure washer but it will be more convenient for me

My pressure washer has a setting for foam but it's more like soapy water

foam cannon/lance (pressure washer) = thicker/heavier clinging shaving cream like foam with longer dwell time.
foam gun (garden hose) = pre-soak and use while washing to help reduce marring.
i have both and like the foam gun because you can spray the panel down as you wipe it
which helps to lubricate when touching the paint and flush away dirt as you go.
if i had a dark colored vehicle i wouldn't be without one.

I don't need a foam gun/cannon when I use
a PW first; then, do the "2-Bucket System".

The Gilmour gun I have is more like sudsy water. More for show. It's just another toy, really.
Used it a few times and just find it faster and easier to use the 2BM.

Mr DjbuddyPL,
Turns out without thinking I always default to the 2bm. Dragging out the power washer just seems a hassle, a noisy hassle at that, and smelly. At most I may foam gun but will also 2bm at the same time.
Just something simple about washing a section then having a rinse hose readily available without having to detach the foam gun barrel.
Pure preference. The foam from the cannon sure is impressive though.
Cannon works best as a sales generator for detailing when people are around to see it in action.
In My Opinion none are superior to the other for actual lubrication.

IMO they are worth the time and money.
I have found the same to be true as Lawrence.
