Less expensive pressure washer foam guns?
I picked up a pressure washer (1600 psi, ~1.4 gpm flow rate) and I've started looking for a foam gun attachment. Ideally I want something that produces a good foam which clings to the car for a while.
I've seen the autogeek one for about 120 but that's quite a bit more than I'd like to spend if possible (I need adapters etc. too). Does anyone have any suggestions of something that's less expensive without being complete junk? |

Wolfe, go to power washers direct. They have the MTM Hydro for $42.99 plus shipping. Its the same as the ones on auto geek.
I paid $51.73 deliver to my house. It takes a week to be delivered. Get the honey dew snow foam from chemical guys on detailedimage.com They are the best and super fast shipping.

I still like using it but I realized it's costing me a fortune in soap. I saw a video of the MTM hydro where the guy uses 1" of soap in the reservoir and foams a whole infiniti with plenty to spare. Thanks for the tips guys, I'm just trying to find out what adapters I'll need to get the MTM gun working with my pressure washer but if there's a way to make them connect up I'll go for it & the honeydew foam from detailedimage. |

Its true just 1"of soap and your in business. If you have a gas pressure washer the MTM will fit right on as it has a quick connect adapter it comes with.

I was watching HSN (I don't know why) but they used this thing called EZ Jet that looked really cool and could serve your purpose well. Look it up on their website:

It might. I have an AR112 and MTM foam cannon and had to hunt high and low to find the right adapter. Shoot me a PM and maybe I can help you out.

Just ordered some of the honeydew snow foam but have a question.
I found this video of it: and that's not quite what I was hoping for. Is this due to a weaker concentration or wrong kind of nozzle or is this about as good as this foam gets? I've seen another video of the chemical guys maxi suds II in the MTM hydro and that was really clingy foam. |
