I am thinking of buying a Gilmour foam gun for helping to wash the car as the BM takes twice as long to clean as the Mini did.

Has anyone got one or use one on a regular basis? If so how do you find it?

Also where can you get one as I noticed they are sold out on clean & shiney's website

Thanks

Alan

Let us know how you get on with this gun Alan...

I like using two buckets both filled with very hot water.

I think I would miss the hot water to be honest...

Do you connect it to the jet wash or just a standard hoselock garden hose.

Was I reading correctly when you said you put baby shampoo in you car wash mix.

yes baby shapoo as its ph neutrel, just to make more suds...cheapskate i am ... best stuff though is snow foam ,,, you need to connect the foam gun to the karcher lance , but with the gilmour you just use hozelock i believe
