The Gilmour Foamaster II Foam Gun is a great tool to help you pre-soak the car and spread the shampoo all over the paint for you. It works with your regular garden hose and helps me save some time while improving results. We also have this unit in stock and ready to ship. I know a lot of other companies are currently out of stock as the mfg is not making any more for at least another month according to my rep.

A pressure washer and a foam lance can provide a really thick layer of suds, which you may see in some pictures. I think the key with a Foamaster II is using a concentration of just shampoo if you want a really dense foam lather. I've had great success with the 128oz Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II, which is a great value and produces tons of suds. I usually put about 4 - 8 ounces in and use it on the highest concentration.

If you guys have any other questions please let me know.
