Hello all
I am thinking of purchasing a foam gun, but I don't have a pressure washer. Does anyone have any experience with foam guns that can be used without a pressure washer? Is it worth using one without a pressure washer??
Feed back please (Feedback would be VERY much appreciated)!
Thanks,
Tad

I have a foam gun and no pressure washer and it works great. Have to make sure you use the correct wash soap. I use DP Xtreme Foam Formula and get tons of foam with it.

Foam cannon works only with a pressure washer. The foam gun works with a water hose. Its a nice tool that works well...

no experience with using one or other but as far as i seen, cannon makes foam stick better to car when foam gun couse it doesnt add as much water to the foam. correct me if im wrong.

cannon is just better version of gun, otherwise why would pros use cannon instead of foam gun. im gona get cannon soon. found one for $57+shipping
 
I have the foam cannon. It works great. I really only use it on very dirty cars.
 
I love the Foam Gun .... great for washing and presoaking prior to washing. Its not just about the foam, but sure looks cool.

After you use a foam gun, do you still wash the car normally with bucket and mf mit/sponge/whatever? Orrrrr do you just use the mf mit/sponge on the foam that's on the car and just rinse it off?
 
I still use a sponge. I use the foam gun to soak the car. Then go in with a sponge while using the gun to keep lubricating the car. I also still use a rinse bucket
 
trichard, I have that foam gun you mentioned and like it. I rinse the car, Foam gun the car, let it sit for a minute while I toothbrush and griots rubber cleaner the window seals, come back and rinse car. Move to regular multiple bucket w/ grit guards for washing. One important thing is I think the water on your mitt coming from the bucket and not just being suds is going to have a lot more lubricants. The suds do not have as many lubricants.

I used the sample foaming soap that came with it. After that I just went to using the same soap I use in the buckets UPGW (Ultima) It foams great as well when coming from the gun.

It certainly isn't needed but it certainly can't hurt.

Foam gun is good foam cannon is excellent !! I have both and honestly I hardly ever use my foam gun anymore since the cannon arrived.

What about the gun designed to connect to a compressor? I just received an excellent compressor as a gift, any comments on that one?
 
youtube has plenty of fun videos featuring foam guns/cannons. Looks like fun.
