i uses the foam gun without pressure- main diff is that i dont get the thick foam... thick foam is nice on big vehicles where you have soap drying too quickly. i havent had that issue with our cars.

The Gilmour Foamaster II ($40) is what you want. The 95 series has plastic couplings, and the 75 series has brass. Both the 95 and the 75 series have a choice of adjustable ratio (4 settings, plus an off setting) or fixed ratio (1 setting, non-adjustable).

I have used both the foam gun which attaches to a garden hose and the foam cannon which attaches to a pressure washer.

The difference between the two is night and day. The foam from a foam cannon is MUCH thicker and stays on the car MUCH longer. Foam from a foam gun flows right off the car IME.

Here you go:

You also need a pressure washer to hook it up to. If you buy an electric pressure washer it may be harder to attach. If you buy a Kacher there is an adapter you can buy to make it attach. I have a Husky and I had to buy a new hose and gun to get it to attach.
