What is a foam gun?

No, a garden rinser may look slightly the same but it is entirely different in its function. Hope more talk of the foam gun makes it more available online.
 
Thanks but every time I see it, I think that's what you look like....LOL

Wow wonder what people think of mine :hah

Makes me think you are square, yellow, and spongy. And probably a lot of fun to be around. Haha!!

What exactly is the advantage of a foamgun Bill?
 
The use of a foam gun is the best way I know of so far to minimize, if not avoid ,any wash induced marring altogether. For me it's more fun to do than inspect for and polish out marring ( more clear to remove) later on.

I use it like this:

Foam gun set on strongest mix ratio, foaming in one hand, a good sheepskin mitt in the other, the car already foamed down, spray the foam gun on a small section at a time. Where the foam is flowing over the paint, very gently whisk the mitt across the section. As needed, rinse off the mitt and/or dunk it in a bucket of clean water, move on to the next section ,smaller for best results (to be very extreme, use multiple mitts dedicated only to certain sections or parts of them )

Basically, the constant flow of soapy foam over the paint is not only helping float dirt away, its acting as an ever flowing lubricant when you're using your mitt. I really like using quick disconnects and shut offs with my hose and I've ditched the trigger part of the foam gun and just have the mixing end attached directly to a cut off switch to a quick disconnect to the end of the hose :D

When you're all done, simply disconnect the foam gun and use the free flowing water fom the hose to rinse and help dry.

Oh yeah, the foam gun can come in quite handy to use while claying not to mention no more mixing car wash in a bucket.
 
Interesting. I'll read your other posts on it more carefully and read up on the links you've provided as well. Thank you!!
 
My water pressure here is crummy :( so my pic wouldn't be repesentative of what it can truly do. That said, it still get the job done quite well
 
I will try to post pics this weekend, does anyone know if I can do a short video clip? My new digital camera (still playing with it) will do a short movie. Maybe I can do a short clip.
 
OI812,
You mentioned you had the Gilmour model #362, that is not a foam gun. The photos I linked are the device I have .
I also just changed my avatar back to pic of it.
 
Actually I bought one from Messeners(?), price was under 50. I thought that was fairly good. I think I posted a link to it earlier. Thanks Bill the foamer kick some serious a$$. First time I used it I thought it was almost snowing outside.
 
With the Hyrdro-Foamer, you can look under "Catalog Pages">HydroFoamer and then there's a PDF with more info...but not price :dunno

I didn't have a problem with it locking up. It took a few seconds to load and I have a 3 meg cable modem. :dunno
