Foam Gun question

[shad2009]

i just received a foam gun from Grabiak Performance Center (Thanks ALOT Jason:thumbsup:) and i'm guessing it's one of the ones that was introduced the first time around because it doesn't have a setting for the amount of foam that is released...

 

1.will this still produce alot of foam?

 

2.how much shampoo/water do i put in? it goes up to 32 oz on the left side and 500 then to 1000ml on the right side

 

thanks for any info, and a big thanks to Jason and everyone at GPC:rockon:

1) you have the hydro unit, its a fixed ratio and yes... it makes tons of foam.

 

2) use anywhere from 4-8oz of soap p/32oz canister... more soap = more foam

[shad2009]

thanks dylan so keep the foam under the 500ml mark and fill up to 32oz with water, right?

[Team Adam's]

Its easier if you just fill it to almost 32oz, then pour in your soap.

 

Then, once you have the lid on give it a little shake or swirl to get it to mix completely.

 

You put the soap in and then try to add water you'll get bubbles pouring out of the top before you fill it.

thanks...so im assuming that i can pour as much shampoo as i want and get MORE FOAM but not too much of course lol...but what's TOO MUCH foam lol

You can fill it up with 32oz of straight soap... but at a certain point it just becomes wasteful... it will make a thick lather, but it will burn thru soap so quick your head will spin.

good to know...so water up to 32oz...then add soap as desired...check...i'll start out slowly and see what amount gets the entire car...i'm probably going to run through car shampoo like i do detail spray:willy:

[Team Adam's]

I personally like it around 6oz... but everyone has preferences.

I've got one of Adams foam gun and I use it every week on my Holden G8GT and I love the foam. Sure makes washing the cars a lot more fun and I take my time now and don't care if it dries because the shampoo rinses.right off. GRRRR8. All Adams Products Used on the Black Rat".

i really need to invest in a foam gun. i try to take extra care washing especially having a black truck. i use the 2 bucket method/w grit guard and still get swirls. since theres still not an adams foam gun for purchase idk what other ones out there that are up to par.

there is a screen in the end of the suction tube ;make sure it's clean. I had a lack of foam problem, noticed the screen, problem is gone. TIP: hose outside of screen first , clearing the tube then the outside.

Make sure to mix in the Adam's shampoo, swirl the canister around - it is kind of thick and will lay in the bottom of the canister if you don't mix it up.

 

BTW Love my foam gun - really helps on the maintenance of the finish.

Awesome man, you will like it. I just run a quart of clean water through mine when I'm done, just to ensure no soap get's gummed up in the pick-up hose or the nozzle. I think it even says it in the directions. I use 4 oz per wash, on setting E for the RS, and settind C for the van (because of the size of the van).

Had the Hydro out last night. Used one oz. more shampoo than normal, and was spitting clouds outta my hose!

 

Make sure if you don't have one, you contact the dealers that still do!

I'd like to thank Eric @ Thompson Racing for the foam gun I purchased from him. It's a Hyrdo one as well. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow after work! My truck hasn't been washed with adam's shampoo in awhile and now that I finally have a foam gun I'm more eager to wash it haha.
