foam gun recommendations
Watched DRIVE CLEAN on youtube and wanted to see if anyone here uses a foam gun/lance. Opinions? Tips?

I learned quite a bit from that as well. I have a similar gun, but I typically just use it to soap the car for quick and dirty (non-wiped) washes. I never thought of using both together.

Klink10 and CTScott, which ones do you use and would you recommend them or not?

I own a potent pressure washer and have tried also using that for a lazy wash and the results are about the same, so the direct wiping of the surface seems to be key.

Had mine made by a guy in Ga. to fit my current pressure washer system. I'll try and find out who it was. Total was about 125$ if I remember right. Stipulation was I wanted snow and that's what I got. Use it as a prewash stripper of waxes and sealants.

I use a high pressure system with a foaming attachment. It uses less water than the ordinary hose used in DRIVE CLEAN.
The pressure also removes more dirt than an ordinary hose. (I have a karcher pressure cleaner with a foaming attachment) |

Thanks everyone. I think I'll go with the "Gilmour 75QGFMR Foamaster Adjustable Multi Ratio Cleaning Gun" on amazon. I don't have a pressure washer..yet

Gilmour 75QGFMR Foamaster
I recently ordered the Gilmour 75QGFMR Foammaster from Amazon.ca=http://www.amazon.ca/Gilmour-75QGFMR.../dp/B000XTH1GY I would recommend this product to anyone who washes their car frequently or has more than one vehicle. There are 2 different models , I chose to go with the all metal one vs the foam-master 2 which has a lot of plastic. See it in use Gilmour Foamaster II Foam Gun - Auto Detailing and course on this video at the 7:45 mark. Audi R8 BLACKBIRD: Basic Car Wash Techniques - /DRIVE CLEAN
