Those of you guys who have one and use one (with foam guns and such), do you guys have any good recommendations for a sub 200 dollar system? Ideally electric if they are any good.

thanks

 

bump. Really no one can give me advice?

 

I personally just use my regular hose and the Gilmour Foamaster II Foam Gun. It works great for me, saves money versus the pressure washing system and saves me time verses dragging out the pressure washer. Let me know if you have any questions about this product.

I have the gilmour foamaster II foam gun but I cant get good foam out of it. I was planing to just upgrade to an autobrite foam lance + High pressure washer. What are you doing to get foam of ur it?

What suds do you use? I have tried Maxi Suds II, CG Citrus Gloss, and Meguiars Gold Class. At best they give mediocre foam that runs off really is and is not dense at all.

 

My first tip is to pre-soak your paint with it and then rinse it off to help remove or loosen some of the surface contaminants. Next I pour about 6 - 8oz of the shampoo and about 4+oz of water in the reservoir. This is usually more than enough, but it depends on the vehicle and your washing style. I set it to E for the richest concentration of shampoo and then I work in sections. I usually spray the top first and wash it, then I start working on the sides and lower panels. If you try to spray the whole car down in one shot the suds won't last long enough. Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

i got a snap-on 2000psi one from costco. it works very well for getting the winter salt and sand off of the car. it was $150.
