Foam Gun: Necessary?
For all those people out there who wash and maintain their cars on their own, do you find this to be a necessity in washing your car on a regular basis?
I'm beginning to assemble an arsenal of products for the upkeep of the exterior, but trying not to go overboard. Thus, seeing what items are necessary and what isn't. Any recommendation for or against foam guns, and certain brands? |
I'm in the same boat. I just placed a big order on Auto Geek but left out the foam gun. I did see someone use a Miracle Grow sprayer as a make shift foam gun on one of these forums.

I bought this foam gun and love it. It's the cheaper version, but I like the big adjustment wheel on top, and I remember reading that the more expensive version also has weak plastic connectors instead of brass.

Does yours leak slowly if it's upside down? Mine does. One nice thing about variable ratio is you don't need to worry about getting an exact mix of soap:water in the bottle. And I can do 0 soap / 100% water without disconnecting (though the pressure isn't as good) |

I was actually there picking up a new pressure washer and noticed in the aisle they had a foam cannon attachment for $18. I don't know how well it would work but it might be worth looking into for some of you that have pressure washers. |

If turned upside down the mixture will come out of mine too, there is a hole near the top of the brass fitting that allows the soap mixture to come out if inverted, it appears to be there by design. Wasn't a problem since I never turned it upside down (except to check what would happen). |
Alright, this is great news. What type of soap are you using with these guns then? Anything special or Meguiars, etc.
