Sorry about the crappy pic!
i saw this at target. do you need another attachment to make it work? the directions seemed a bit unclear but then again i was in a rush and only glanced over it.

Just get a cam spray with the foam cannon. shaving cream all day

My goal is to get one this year.

I had a foam gun before, I liked it at first, but the novelty wore off, and it just became too much trouble, and time consuming.
What do you think is going to happen with the foam cannon? That take a lot of extra steps over the Gilmore. My hose has a quick connect and so does my gilmore so the only hassle i have is to fill it with soap.

noone switches from a foam lance/cannon + pressure washer set-up back to only a gilmore. that alone should tell you something. people may like the believe the theory about helping dirt run off quickly, but surely that thick shaving cream that the big toy's produce will run off eventually.
I'm one of those people. I don't see the point of having foam on your car as thick as shaving cream. Take for instance the no rinse products. ONR, DP and QEW, they produce no foam at all and are staples of some pretty good detailers.

I did not get a chance to use the foam gun from Target today. It ended up raining today. I agree with MuttGrunt.... I do feel as it if is more like a soap despender then a true foam gun.
Bump for pix!

this is the ultimate testament of "you get what you pay for"

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT it is the most useless piece of shit ever.





(in action)




just goes to show, nothing beats the good ol fashion wash.

zero foam whatsoever.

the soap and the water do NOT mix in the container, you have to hold it upside down to get any soap out.

its wishy washy, one moment it works, the next it doesnt.

i musta used 50ml of soap and gallons and gallons and gallons of water (great way to jack up your water bill)

i'm going back to target and i'm gonna tell them i'm an extremely unsatisfied customer and try to get my 8 bucks back.

Thanks for being the guinea pig! Although even with the Foamaster, you need to mix water with the soap in order to get foam, could it be that straight detergent is too dense?
