Foam Gun = Good
Well a while back I posted a thread about the Gilmore foam gun to see if anyone had used it. Well i decided to give it a try myself, I purchased it from autogeek.net and here are the results. It works great and is worth every penny.
So to anyone thinking about getting one, I definetely suggest it.

I believe it was about 60 bucks from autogeek.net and I just got the bare minimum which comes woth the gun and a quart mixing bottle, they also include free foaming wash (which I did not use) and a set of hose quick disconnects.
By the way I used Meguairs Gold Class Car wash in the gun.

yup, basically it replaces your usual soap filled bucket, I sprayed the car, then sprayed the mitt, and did a panel at a time. Then rinsed the mitt and repeated. Plus I found it nice to give the entire car a good coating before I even started with the mitt that way it could get time to work into all the gunk that way it would come off easier.

Seems like alot of work. Sray car, spray mitt, wipe, rinse mitt, spray again. Repeat. I like the standard bucket method.
Althought, more suds = sweet for cleaning.

yah it just depends how much of a freak about your car you are. I am meticulous and do what I can to achieve no swirl marks which requires a rinse bucket and going a panel at a time for starters. The foam gun has really made the whole process easier and less time consuming.

Excellent choice. Foam guns are one of the best things you can buy for your vehicle in terms of keeping the exterior clean and swirl free as they can eliminate most of the dirt from the suds alone that the foam gun produces. I use one as well, but mine is an attachment for my pressure washer.

A) didn't have my dads motorcycle in it.
B) wasn't full of ****.
C) wasn't only 6 feet deep!
D) WASN'T CONVERTED INTO A PLAYROOM FOR MY BROTHER! >_<
my balt and nova both get stuck outside, at least the nova has a car cover, I havn't gotten around to gtting enough money to buy a good one for the cobalt (the one on the nova cost $150)
