Review: Green Earth G-Foam Blaster.

 

I wanted a foam gun that would work with my pressure washer and provide enough foam that could cling to the car to pre-soak. Before I used the detergent hose that was attached to the pressure washer and that didn't do much at all.

 

After searching the internet, I found that all the foam guns I wanted were out of my price-range...or required a standard hose. Until I searched autogeek.net forums and found a cheap alternative:

It's only $20, so I figured I would give it a shot.

 

This device is a simple quick disconnect that attaches to the end of your pressure washer wand...similar to what you do with other attachments.

 

I use 2oz of my favorite shampoo and put it into the the container:

I then carefully add hot water to fill the rest of the container, putting a ton of water in at once will foam it up...which isn't too good:

Then screw it to the rest of the device:

Going outside, and attach it to your wand...a simple quick disconnect makes life easy:

Turn on your pressure washer and let there be foam! I found out that shaking the container prior will help mix the soap up, and pre-foam:

The main purpose of this is to let the soap soak into dirt, helping it release and prevent swirls. The only problem with this foam gun is that it eats through the soap pretty quickly. There is a adjustable valve to control the soap release...but that doesn't release as much soap and it runs more than desired. It's plenty to do the whole car about twice...but if you don't like using alot of soap...this isn't for you.

 

A couple minutes of soaking:

Then simply keep the car wet while working around with your 2 buckets and you're done!

For $20, it something that makes my life alot easier to wash my car and prevent swirls. I would want more foam, but I can't complain. It does eat through soap, so use at your discretion.

 

Thanks for reading!

Did they have this in stock or did you have to order it?

Hmmm what to get for an Electric

 

Depends. I mean if it has a metal quick disconnect you're golden...but if not them you might need to see if OE has any parts...

 

I know Kracher has their own foam gun for their electrics
