That should cover it

A few more pics for those who enjoyed seeing the Pressure Washer Foam Canon in use.
These are some shots of Meg’s Deep Crystal on my neighbor’s Benz (probably mixed in the bottle at about 20 parts water 1 part Meg’s).

Very nice!!! I've found I get about the similar thickenss in foam using the DP Xtreme Foam in my foamgun.

Do you get the same looks like from your neighbours and passer-by's as I do when washing vehicles? You know that "what the heck is that lunatic spraying on his vehicle" sort of look as they go by?

Yup....some of my neighbors like to come out and watch when they hear me start up the pressure washer LOL.

>>Is the soap a regular car wash soap
Yup...just reg Meg's Deep Crystal from Wally World, the Meg's Gold Classic and NXT foam pretty good as well.

Here's the link to my first post about it
Some Sick Foam

I had to rig a bottle on it at first because they messed up and didn't ship bottle.
They made good though and actualy shipped me a complete second gun with a bottle.

How many bottles or what portion of a bottle do you go through on a wash? That's a quart bottle?

I mix about a 1/2 inch of soap in the bottle (little less) and fill the rest with water, it's enough to cover my F-250 with a nice thick layer of foam.

That's Insane,

Where is this available at? Does it have to be used with a pressure washer or will a hose work?

Thanks

Got it from here.

It needs to be connected to a pressure washer.

So you're saying you use how many ounces of car wash to wash the truck?
