Whats the difference between the Autogeek, Pinnacle, and Wolfgang foam guns? Also, what kind of shampoo is everyone using with it?

No difference except for the label. And may I say for the 100th time, I LOVE MY FOAM GUN! It is so awesome! One of the better purchases I've made from AG.
 
I dont see exactly what a foam gun goes... I mean you still have to wash it.
 
It looks like DP Xtreme is good to use with the gun. I heard that Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo is good with black cars because of the oils in it. How would this work in the gun?

Yes you do have to wash it but....

  • is great as a presoak to loosen up the dirt
  • is much easier to soap up a panel
  • foam clings to panel much better than any soap/water that you put on the panel via a wash sponge/mitt
  • prefoamed panels along with a layer of foam on wash sponge/mitt increase lubricity and therefore help to prevent wash-induced swirls.
  • easier to lug around 1 bucket and foamgun vs two buckets
I thoroughly rinse my car, give it a presoak of foam, foam each panel as I wash, and also spray some foam on my wash sponge for each panel. The sponge just glides over the panel. It's amazing. Yes I do use more soap but Meg's Gold Class is $8 for 1.25 gallons where I buy it from.

Before the foamgun, I could feel the "grit" as I move the sponge across the panel. I have a daily driver and it gets dirty within a day or two.
 
There is no difference in foamguns, just has the name of whatever site you purchase it from, or whichever you desire, but they are the same. As for the shampoo, you should try the new DP Extreme Foam. It's designed for the foam gun or bucket washing. I used it today for the first time and I was VERY pleased. Suds galore with very little product. It's very slick too, feels like the vehicle has lube on it. Rinses very clean and very easy. Others say the Poorboys Slick Suds is good, or Pinnacle shampoo.
 
splitters are great don't buy a cheap plastic one spend a whole big 3bucks and get a metal one it will actually last a long time
