Foam Gun

[alanm73]

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...

Hey, whereabouts in the Ferry are you? That street looks very familiar... :)

[Gismo]

What mixture did you use :p

[Wul]

more to the point.....surely you never used the foam gun on the inside of the doors too? :eek:;):p

[dundeered]

the pictures were taken at my mums house in elie avenue , off balgillo,

the mixture ratio i used was , made a jam jar up of snow foam , zymol shampoo, about 30 ml megs gold class, some baby shampoo. then into gun added about 40 ml of solution and then hot water.

no didnt use on inside of doors ......

[ianking]

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.

[dundeered]

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
