    Just make sure u never let the soap dry on your vehicle. I don't have a foam gun, but if it was me in direct sunlight, i'd foam one section of a car at a time just to be safe. Foam one section, then rinse off, then go to the next section.

    ive been thinking about getting one, however with a nice shampoo, eg duragloss, poorboys, pinnacle, nxt.. and the Schmitt,

    I dont know if you could even get a better wash. Most customers weve had at work like seeing the hand wash moreso than a foam gun.

    this is when i prefer to use the foam gun...

    1. pre-foam the entire car...
    2. wipe a panel down while foaming it
    3. move the adjuster tab over to water only and rinse the panel i just washed
    4. continue on to the next panel and foam any part of the car that looks like it is about to dry out

    I foam the car, then rinse it all, then foam a section at a time and use the schmitt was mitt to do each section and rinse the mitt with the 2 bucket method. Then rinse the whole thing again (and may foam again just to get rid of all the soap in the canister), sheet and wash with a guzzler. Very very safe way to wash. I have let the end of the car sit in the sun when washing and it hasn't really been an issue. Just like hand washing, you don't want to let it sit so long the soap dries. But......yes, the foam gun is worth it. I love that thing.

    doesnt matter which foam gun they sell on ag...all the same except what devcal is on them...the quart size is more than large enough unless you detail multiple cars at once.

    Yup, they are all the same except for the sticker. But if you pay attention when a product line is on sale, the associated foam gun is too. I got my foam gun last month while AG had Wolfgang on sale, and I got the Woldgang foam gun for cheaper than the rest.
