Cheap foam gun?

Huck · 06-08-2012, 01:49 PM

Quick question! I don't have $70 to spend on a foam gun right now, do you guys think this one would be a decent substitute? $18 at target.

It's only $18...why not just give it a try?

I'm cheap, don't want to waste $18 right now until I get a job.

I'm cheap too. I fill up a dollar store $1 spray bottle with water and add two caps of Zaino car wash. I shake the crap outta the bottle and then spray... "foam"!

I have one of these for my car and it seems to be working out. It really foams it up. You go through about 3 canisters worth of soap. I use Meguiar's Gold Class.

Get this thing:

Perfect for washing a car. Not really for power washing as the reviews will agree.

I have that same gun. (the one the OP posted) I think it works great for the price. The car doesn't really get foamed up, but it does do a pretty decent job. I really like it because when the car is really dirty, I'll foam it over once and wash off with the gun, and then foam again right before I wash. I use Adam's car wash and it seems to foam up a little more then other stuff. Its not perfect, but i'm sure it helps a ton.

I don't understand what's so good about a foam gun. Just spray on and rinse off?
