I have used the Gilmour Foam Master II for several years. I have tried multiple water/soap ratios and fiddled with the gun dial and I'm yet to find a single time where this gun creates more foam than you can do with just a bucket and a garden hose. I have finally just settled on the "E" setting. This setting throws the maximum amount of suds but I can run through 3 oz mixture of shampoo & water in about 2 minutes.
Lately it seems to have doubled the time invested in washing the car since the "foam" drips from the car too fast (again, I have never been able to dial this thing in with an even consistency). And let's not forget the spray gun. This has to be the worst gun I have ever used. I usually have to stop washing and connect my Eley pistol grip spray nozzle. On a side note I am a quick connect junkie so changing sprayers is pretty quick.
Bottom line I have not been satisified, hasn't helped/saved me any time washing my car, and "foam" is average.
So that brings me to today. I finally received my Adam's Foam Gun. After unboxing the unit I immediately noticed the built quality. The "other" foam gun is mostly constructed of a cheap plastic and the sprayer is 2 pieces...not with Adam's. This thing is built like a tank and the trigger sprayer's once piece design is AMAZING! I quickly did a test comparing both guns and this thing produces an even amount of suds while not burning through the shampoo in 2 minutes. FINALLY..an even consistency!!!! Even the spray grip is better quality and is actually useable while rinsing off the car.
Final Assessment
Not a MUST have in your garage but certainly compliments your 2-bucket washing method. Lot's of fun, great suds and quality build should last for years. If you want to add to your detail aresenal I would suggest you pick one up! (I recommend pairing with a quick connect if your not doing so already)
PROS
- Quality Craftsmanship (built in the USA)
- Great Suds (without wasting shampoo)
- Spray Gun is great
CONS
- More time in the garage away from the wife (this could be a PRO to some) ha ha!
- Your pressure washer might get jealous for cheating
