Tim Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 They're designed for garden hose use, not sure how you'd pump a meaningful amount of hot water thru one to begin with, but I'd assume it would work about the same, assuming the water isn't scalding hot. I have hot and cold water in my garage. What would happen if I did use water too hot? Oh, I have the Adam's gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple....my hot water heater is out in the garage right next to my cold water source. Just wondered if anyone had tried using hot water just for the foam gun.

StormChaser Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Things you should never discuss in polite company: Religion. Politics. Detailing. This is very true. I met someone recently and this person bragged about how awesome their detailing skills were and how they could walk circles around me. This was said in a very nasty way. That really irritated me because she doesnt know my skill level. Nor I hers. What I do know is I've been part of Adams shine crew....worked my tail off, learned a lot and had some amazing results rolling across the auction floor. I wanted to rub that in the persons face and say "what have you done besides your moms van"? I just tuned her out. LMAO. sent via Tapatalk....

Chuckkilo3 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 LOL... this is china we're talking about... they wouldn't use lead would they- oh... riiiiiiight. Only until they run out of it. It would be substituted with another toxic metal. I am returning the ones I bought from Lowe's. I ordered a set of real brass from Adam's yesterday.

Junkman2008 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I still have a bunch of that stuff left. I will eventually use it but once I tried Adam's car shampoo, I kind of forgot about the DP stuff. Yea... I would have probably done the same thing. I still have a full bottle of Zaino Car Wash left.

Team Adam's Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Yea, I have some, they're likely brass coated... when they scratch theres silver metal underneath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckkilo3 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Probably... the only ones I've ever seen with the rubber bumper on them like that are made by Gilmour or Orbit, both made in China. Dramm is just about the last US manufacture of parts like that. They sell them on Amazon.com and at Lowe's. Claims that they are brass but they are very light in weight to be brass. Maybe just the outer shell is brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman2008 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Isn't the quick connect at the bottom Chinese made also? That's a good question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nordgrey Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Wow, really not sure how folks are going through so much shampoo. Like I said, I get 8 or 9 complete foamings per full quart at the mid setting. It absolutely drinks shampoo on the richest setting, but I'm more than happy at the mid setting.

Moz Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 (x2) But if I have one of the older one's(New Guns aren't availible yet) it still should have been made in the good ol' U.S.A:cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osok Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I couldn't agree more with your American made philophsy Adam. I was going to order a foam gun elsewhere but instead I'll wait for yours. If you are going to go through all the trouble to support American business, then the least I can do is wait for yours. Which I absolutely will do. Thank you...

scott500 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 We used to sell that gun Moz! That is, until they moved manufacturing on most of the Foam Master to CHINA. (Adam's Polishes doesn't support Chinese manufacturing.) Soon, however, we are going to announce an American made foam gun! I couldn't agree more with your American made philophsy Adam. I was going to order a foam gun elsewhere but instead I'll wait for yours. If you are going to go through all the trouble to support American business, then the least I can do is wait for yours.

Team Adam's Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Hardened sap can be pre treated with a diluted mixture of IPA (rubbing alcohol) and water. The car I'm talking about specifically didn't have hardened sap so much as it had big syrupy drops with little bits of dirt and pine needles in it.

Sandra Dee Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 straight soap has its place (if your hose pressure can support it) for EXTREMELY soiled cars I will run full soap in the canister... for most 'normal washing 3-4oz mixed with water will produce more than sufficient suds. I recently ran full soap to decontaminate a car that had been parked under a pine tree for about a month. The tiny bits of sap were holding all kinds of grit... couldn't be too safe. not to digress....what else did you use to get pine sap off? I heard and have lived that that is the worst...
