SON1C Synopsis 69 - Foam Gun ( Not Cannon ) loaded with Chemical Guys HoneyDew Snow Foam Video Review

[SON1C]

SON1C Synopsis 69 is a video & text review, the capabilities of this foam gun is shown Autogeek Quart Foamaster Foam Gun FREE BONUS also referred to some by as the gilmour foam gun. This is not the foam gun that has a black top that is relabeled by some companies, such as griots & chemical guys (this model is much better than the black top, I have used both numerous times.)

Overall if you refuse to buy a foam cannon / pressure washer (which I highly recommend) then a foam gun is your next option.

A foam gun attaches to a standard hose.

A foam cannon attaches to a pressure washer.

A foam gun in my opinion is more of a suds gun, imagine "lathering" your entire vehicle -- this creates more lubricity, a "wow" factor to anyone viewing / potential clients, can arguably provide some cleaning/cleansing power, and is certainly fun.

A foam cannon produces rich foam at high velocity that clings and cleans your paintwork. After a proper foam cannon wash your vehicle will be arguably 85-95% clean. This includes pressure washing the foam off which does benefit the cleaning greatly.

Here is an example of foam cannon usage / ProtoFoam

Here is an example of the same soap -- Chemical Guys Honey Dew in a foam cannon (gas pressure washer)

So in my opinion if you are set on purchasing a foam gun, then this is your best bet. However I would recommend purchasing a foam cannon and relatively inexpensive pressure washer (electric) to accompany this foam cannon. This setup can be had for less than 200 USD.

I hope you enjoyed this review, thanks for viewing

Awesome work bud! Do I see PROTOFOAM? When is it going to hit the market?..... it is 2014 dang it!

Seeing you using proper ergonomics in your protofoam vid put a simple on this physical therapist's face. ALSO, one thing that is lost on foam newb is that you should foam the bottom to top (as you demonstrate). Very nicely done!

Nice Drew! When using protofoam 1 in the video, I'm assuming the MTM was set to highest flow and widest stream settings?

I find myself needing to refill the reservoir when working on very large vehicles using my current snow foam arsenal. So, if Protofoam was able to be used on a lower setting (with similar results to other foams at highest setting) enabling me to cover a large SUV in one filling, that would be awesome. Looks like a blueberry fragrance is in order.

I added the Gilmour Foam Gun to my cart. I want to see the difference. Great Video! rops:

Great video(s), I liked the performance of foam gun. Your topic shows well the difference between the foam 'generated' by both.

I like the 'cannon' style for demonstrations, but in general I use cannon at low to work as your gun... that kind of 'watery suds' is my preferred kind.

Thanks for making me regret not getting this gun on my last order!

And keep posting those nice videos.

Kind Regards.

Nice review Drew :xyxthumbs:
Are most cannons compatible with a cheap electric PW, from say Harbor Freight? I'm afraid to order one and have it not fit

The MTM comes with both a male quick connect and a male threaded fitting. I'm not sure what type of connection HF uses.

yes, yes you do
Hopefully sometime this summer! It's been put on hold -- focusing on waxes as they are of course, the focal point!
haha are you referring to my posture or?
thanks claude, glad I have flawless finish stamp of approval!

No it was not, my pressure washer doesn't have the power to back up that setting, its usually somewhere around the middle + -
Bob, get out of my mind! haha
I am aiming to have it ensure it can cover entire large vehicles but testing & time will tell, which I'd be glad to have you as one of my testers for that!

Thank you sir! I appreciate the support and input, feedback like this make these worth it
I'm hoping to be able to sit down and put together 70 on AF avalanche this week

thanks for the feedback and i'm glad you enjoyed the writeup/videos
With everything its about finding what works best for you and what you like the best, fortunately foam guns are the inexpensive one of the two!
You may find though even at lower settings in a foam cannon the soap still clings better than it would with a foam gun in my experience, if you ever use one or decide to order one would love to hear your thoughts on comparison

Adam, bob has great input ^

I'm no expert here, maybe post a thread to find someone using the HF model you are looking at, I ordered my greenworks 1800 psi 1.4 gpm? electric off of amazon, it's a 200 dollar model @ lowes for ~130? shipped

The way mine is setup is with a simple quick disconect it just snaps in the foam cannon or snaps in the PW fitting for desired spray

Glad to hear your on what I think is the right track.

I would be honored to be part of beta testing.

After dabbling in wax development, I'm sure I would burn out spending any amount of time in you head.

Excellent... i've been torn wether to pick up an power washer (as mine died last year), or just don't bother and go with a foam gun. I much prefer those thick suds to help get the junk out, and have more sitting time - compared to the hose/gun method.
I was hoping to come across a review like this on AG - I appreciate it!

 

[Goodylax]

Thanks for the feedback Drew and Bob :dblthumb2:
I will post a pic of my power washer and where it attaches etc. in a thread soon.
Mmmmmm, Proto Foam

I'm glad I could be of assistance! I would certainly recommend the foam cannon over the foam gun
