been considering the Wolfgang Half gallon foam gun.
is it necessary to have it connected to a pressure washer ?
the garden tap produces a moderate pressure I guess.
I'm not after strong bursts or any of that sort , just want to get a layer of frothy foam
onto the car, and from there I'll continue to use the usual 2 bucket method.

dont think I will be using the method as suggested on the product description page about following the foam with the mitt . too much wastage of water me thinks.

my go to shampoos are Optimum Car wash, and megs GC shampoo.
Would they be good for this purpose ?
whats the dilution ratio for the optimum car wash ?

will be good to hear more about this .


oh yeah, and is it really really big and bulky ?
i can imagine the box being overly big and postage being a killer. (international postage)

and lastly, what about the brass connector item on the bottom of the page ? is that a special add on part ?
how does the connector look like ? as in from the end of my rubber hose to be connected to the foam gun ?
would a kind soul please take some pics for me ?

thanks !!!

YES BUT DP XTREME WILL REALLY PRODUCE SUDS FOR YOU

whats the dilution ratio for the optimum car wash ?
FOR YOUR PURPOSE, I WOULD NOT GET THE HALF GALLON GUN BUT THE QUART
POUR ABOUT 2 oz OF SOAP IN CONTAINER, FILL REST WITH WATER AND THEN SHAKE


oh yeah, and is it really really big and bulky ?
POSTAGE ON THIS WILL NOT BE THAT HIGH SINCE IT IS NOT THAT HEAVY

and lastly, what about the brass connector item on the bottom of the page ?
QUICK CONNECTS MAKE IT EASY TO REMOVE FROM HOSE, YOU CAN SWITCH BETWEEN DETAILING TOOLS FAST

is that a special add on part ? IT IS EXTRA IF YOU WANT IT

as in from the end of my rubber hose to be connected to the foam gun ? YES CONNECTORS CAN CONNECT HOSE TO GUN, HOSE TO SPRAY NOZZLE, ETC.
 
Thanks for your reply Meghan.
What I am concerned with is the attachment parts from the hose to the foam gun.
I am not too sure how the inlet of the foam gun looks like.

what I have now on my hose is something like a quick release too.
I'm wondering if i get the brass connector set, can I still plug in my original nozzle into the brass connector, or the foam gun into the original connector (black one in the pics)

Meghan , would you be able to get pics of the water inlet part of the spray gun where the hose gets connected to ?

if without the quick release connectors, im sure the spray gun water inlet is a screw thread kind. Will it be able to fit into the screw thread end of my hose ?

pics as follows:

those are 2 sizes which it can fit. hopefully the spray gun can....
 
Quick connect and the foam gun nozzle all screw into the end of your standard hose threads.
 
sorry for the never ending questions...

for the parts in the pics on this webpage,
the one on the left is connected to my standard hose threads , and the right is screwed onto the spray gun nozzle ?
am i right?

Brass Quick Connector Set
