After attending the Detailing 101 class, you get to apply your $30 class fee to an AutoGeek order. My $30 credit went towards a Wolfgang Quart Foamaster Foam Gun delivers a thick layer of foam to your vehicle to give the paint maximum lubrication as you wash. Enjoy a safer,
Here is my review of the gun. I opened the box and it included all of the following.
The assembly and usage instructions are real easy to follow. I used the foaming wand, but the package also contains another nozzle if you are using a non-foaming car wash.
I really liked the spray nozzle by itself, which uses a brass quick connect valve to connect to the soap container/foam wand. The entire assembly seems to be high quality and if taken care as in the instructions would seem to get years of use.
Instructions for the quart bottle (it is also sold in half-gallon size) indicate to use 2 oz of soap in the bottle, fill with water and shake to agitate. I used the included sample of shampoo. DP Xtreme Foam Formula High Yield Foaming Auto Shampoo- Foamaster gun car wash
The gun uses a slide to change the ratio of foam/water. I had it set to halfway, so you could really lay down a thick layer if you set it to maximum.
This shampoo indicates it is specially formulated for foam guns and it lays down a great layer of foam. I only had the sample so I will update this review when I use my normal Dodo Juice Shampoo, Dodo Juice car wash, sour power gloss enhancing shampoo . It will be interesting to see how a shampoo not designed for a gun will work.
I used the foam gun in two ways. After rinsing with water, I connected the bottle via the quick-connect and foamed down the car. One way to use is to provide a thick layer of soap to soak on the car and break down the dirt/grime so that you will not mar the vehicle surface when washing. It was so easy to use, even an 8 year-old can do it!
The gun lays down a thick layer of foam, since my car was fairly clean and waxed last week the foam did not stick as much as I thought on the car. I think on a really dirty car it would stick more and provide the pre-soak as indicated on the vehicle finish.
After letting the foam soak the finish for about five minutes, I also used the gun in my right hand to foam ahead of the wash mitt in my left hand. This made for an extra slick way to wash the car and not induce scratches. This was the reason I bought the gun. I still used the two bucket method for washing, but using the gun ahead of the mitt really works well. :dblthumb2:
The soap bottle is also on a brass swivel, so you can turn your wrist left and right while the bottle hangs below. This reduces how heavy and awkward the gun could be, plus it makes it easy to set the gun on the driveway and not have it tip over. A nice design feature.
All in all, it was money well spent. I plan on using it for all my washes moving forward.
Thanks for taking the time!
