To buy a Foamaster II foam gun or not to buy....

NOT stupid at all!



I mix up a gallon of concentrate and then fill the foamgun with that. For the concentrate I mix 6 ounces of shampoo and enough water to make a gallon total.



Then I use the three strongest settings on the foamgun, varying the setting based on what I'm dealing with. But note that I have the other Foamgun, with the sliding mixture bar, and I'm not sure how your dial compares to that :confused:

You the man Accumulator how is it that I couldnt have thought about that making a pre made gallon thats a great and convinient idea...
 
I have about three gallons of soap which I switched to another soap due to lack of suds/lubricity for my liking. My question is it Ok to use one soap in the foam gun and another soap for the wash bucket?
 
Of course it is.

Noting that I'm really fanatical about this stuff, and that it's easy for me to spend your money....



I use my also-ran shampoos for LSPed wheels and other such non-critical duty. Even through the foamgun, I like to use the best shampoo available.
 
I used my foam gun for the first time today. I used it twice but I think I have to use it more. It does a great job for the pre soak..
 
G37- For the longest time I felt the foamgun was just a toy, that I'd wasted my money and should just retire it. But I stuck with it and gave it a *LOT* of thought, and after literally dozens of experimental washes I came up with a regimen that's basically eliminated all my wash-induced marring. So IME it can take a while to figure out the optimal routine.

I am happy with my wash technique, but after watching plenty of foam gun videos I would like to buty one. Anyone have any thoughts should I buy one or why I should not buy one??? Thanks...Buying the Glimour foam master II

I have a foam cannon and it looks very cool, uses alot of soap and takes some time to set up, switch over and clean. i have used it 1x since I bought it.



If i were a Pro and getting extreemly dirty, polished cars, I say go for it. Other than that it is the worst 110.00 I spent on my addiction.

Well, I'm even worse :o I bought the foamlance/cannon thing even though my pressure washer had died, and it's just sat on the shelf as I never did replace the pressure washer! Talk about wasting money...

What kind did you buy? I might consider taking it off your hands since I am in the market for one :)

Which soap do people prefer to use in their foam gun? Does anyone use the DP for foam guns?

With the way I use it, I stick with the same Griot's Car Wash. But then I'm not after thick clingy foam either.
 
I have used my Glimour FM II about 5 times now..I use it as a pre soak...after cleaning the wheels I use the FG to spray soapy waer on the dirty car let it sit for a few minutes and then do a thorough rinse before starting to wash it with a mitt/2 bucket method. It apperas to remove dirt away but I guess the question is how effective is this method do you think Icould get the same results just doing a rinse?
 
Is it ok to just fill the foam gun container with just soap not diluted to setting A 1oz per gal or B 2oz per gal or might this strip LSP??
