Thanks PQ! Well, now you have another option for a foam gun. If you don't mind me asking, what do you currently use?



Thanks! I guess I can call my videos a homie in his garage productions!

I tossed it a little whiole ago but I got it at Lowes. GTAHVIT had one like it and we got it when he was here last.

Oh ok...I remember I used to have the Ortho sprayer. I think I got it at Homes Depot. I used it for a while until I decided that I should stop being ghetto and get a better foamer.

I'm lower than ghetto. I splash soapy water out of a bucket and rag now.

I've learned my lesson and I'm gonna try using less soap next time I wash my car.

CamaroDreams: no hand outs in this country...I mean forum

Lol just saw this. You must be living in a different country than I am. That's all it is anymore.

I miss my foam gun :( When I'm living at my apartment I have no way to use it. Jealous of you people and your convenient water supplies

Washed both my wifes silver Rogue and my Black SS today with the foam gun. I did a 2 bucket system and it worked fantastic. I clayed both cars and my black SS needs some swirl and haze marks polished out of it. I'd rather do it myself than pay some schmuck 150 dollars to make a mess of things.

I foamed her entire car down and then washed sections at a time. By the time I got to the final sections, all the soap was all gone. For my SS, I foam guned a section and then washed and repeated for each section. It seemed to work better but I'm not sure if the technique is to foam it and let it soak in while washing or foam each section/wash/rinse and then repeat...

Looks like a Porter Cable 7424xp kit purchase is in my near future...

My apologies...wishful thinking is all

I haven't used mine in about 3 weeks, but that's also because I haven't been able to properly wash my car :(

Do you mean that when you foam the car, the soap "dissappears" from it? that's usually what happens to my car on the sides, but there is still some foam on the hood, roof, and trunk parts of it. I usually spray the foam on the entire car and let it soak for a good 5 minutes. Then I proceed with the 2-bucket wash.

I'm just too detail oriented when I wash and am weary of the foam I've soaked the car with "drying" on the car before I can get there with my sheepskin mitt using the2 bucket system. Wind and sun really increases the dissapearance I've noticed.

After reading this tread I went to Tractor Supply and bought it for $29.99 +10% off on there Grand Opening Sale ! Great timing . Thanks for the heads up !

You should not be washing your car in the elements where wind and sun can be an issue. You're just asking for water spots and other undesirable results.

I wash mine after dark. I have no place to get it out of the sun.
