It's a good way to retain a swirl free finish, especially on dark cars. You can pretty much put your buckets on the shelf if you have one. Anyone else use one?

Re: I'm Thinking Of Getting A Foam Gun.

Oh boy......another detailing product for my detail cabinet. That's a lot of foam. I was thinking of the last time I WASHED my TTA.....It was November 2014! I just dust and do waterless detail.

Hafta get one!

My brother has had his car in the Best of the Best shows (locally) for several years now, and this is all he does. My annual streetrod building neighbor was the same way.

Re: I'm Thinking Of Getting A Foam Gun.

I use Adams Polishes Foam gun and I love it. Feel like a porno star every time I wash something. Is it a necessity, no but I feel like I'm getting a better wash when using it.

Can you use regular car wash soap through it, or do you need something specifically designed for it?

I have still yet to actually run any Adams wash through it. I had bought some bulk car wash solution that I really liked so that is what you see there. You can adjust how foamy, soap:water ratio through the siphon tip on the gun.

I have heard the Chemical guys foam cannon works well, as well. I keep buying from Adams as everything I have bought from them has works really well.

Re: I'm Thinking Of Getting A Foam Gun.

I only "wash" my car about once or twice a season on average unless I get caught in rain ....... mostly I just rinse it. Having 0 TDS in the rinse water and blow drying is a huge factor in having a great finish on the car.......lol on the **** comment, BADNBLK that pic is just missing some skimpy bikinis :0
