Finally got around to picking one up and then had to wait a few weeks to try it out... got myself a day with temps higher than 50 degrees and had some fun... the way you see it in the videos is how it came in the box... after i took them i played with the settings a bit... it really is a great tool to have... but like everyone says... it tends to go thru soap very fast.



Pressure washer: Honda 2.8 GPM 3000psi unit

Cannon: Cam Spray 527100 - Foamer Attachment

Soap: Poorboys Super Slick n' Suds

Yeah. You really need to "upgrade" the bottle. Just go to Home Depot and buy some tubing as you'll need a longer pickup tube for the larger bottle and a 32 oz. spray bottle. Switch out the old tube for the new tube and screw on the larger bottle and voila! Enough soap capacity to do a whole car.

That's really expensive for a soap sprayer, mostly all plastic and easily breakable.

I haven't heard of a foam cannon that is significantly cheaper that does the job as well or better.



As a side note, the foam cannon listed on Everypressurewasher.com is no longer the foam cannon that many of us bought. The one they sell now is a Gilmour foam gun with pressure washer fittings attached. It's not as good a foamer as the Cam Spray they used to sell.
 
I bought the cam gun. Ya it was expensive, not as cheaply made as it looks. It is very strong durable hard plastic. I feel it was well worth the money. And fun as hell to use. Smile and laugh every time I use it. It can throw out shaving cream like foam. And my neighbors must think I am nuts.
 
It's actually sturdier than it looks. I wish it wasn't as expensive, but like others have said if there was a cheaper alternative, I'd even be happier. For me, the only thing I can complain about what I spent on mine was the stupid Autobrite Karcher adapter. That thing is such crappy quality and like other members on DW, I'm at that point now where there's no way in hell I can attach and remove it to my wand.



CHAOS, just go pick up some tubing. It should cost you less than a quarter after tax for a foot. You can use any 32 oz spray bottle if you have one laying around. Heck, you can even use a 2 liter soda bottle (although you'll need to buy 2 feet of tubing to cut to size).
 
I did exactly what BlackElantra did. the tubing cost was about 40 cents. I just used a 32oz. empty spray bottle that I bought but had not used yet. Works great. As for connecting it to my power washer, I bought mine off of a buddy. He had a new wand with the metal lower half of the wand. It disconnects half way down on the wand. Fits perfectly. And I do not think that those type of wands are all that expensive if I remember correctly.
 
He was using the discontinued Cam Spray. You can't get it anymore, I was planning on getting it this month when I received my work bonus. :(

WOW that works soo much better than the Gilmour FG and regular garden hose. looks like it would shave atleast 15 seconds to foam half of the car :eek:
 
That foams up so much better than the Gilmour Foamaster. Is there anyway to get a Karcher or any Foam lance/cannon here in the US? Nobody from the UK ships overseas.
 
(noob question ahead) So please explain the process once the vehicle in hidden in foam? Wash by hand and rinse with pw or just rinse w/pw?



Looks like fun though...
