We`ll call this a little mini-review...
First of all, this is not a foam gun. `Nuff said.
This is a sprayer similar to what you would have on the end of a pressure washer or at a DIY car wash. It has a 4 oz. soap reservoir, about 24" nozzle, and 2 strength settings. Made of ABS, Rubber and Aluminum.
Construction: Decent, but I wouldn`t want to drop it on concrete. The rubber tip covering the very end is a nice touch.
How it works: I bought this because I thought it would be an easy way to distribute soap over the car prior to washing. For this, it works very well. Very sudsy and probably about twice as much soap as you get at a DIY car wash. It left a nice coating. There are two spray strength settings (controlled by a trigger), but I honestly couldn`t tell any difference in them. Spray strength was probably 50%-75% of what you get at a DIY wash. Where it was really nice was the wheel wells. The long nozzle made it easy to get soap up in there, and I didn`t worry about poking anything because of the rubber tip. It is also switchable from soap to no soap.
Overall: Well, it`s not a foam gun, but it allowed me to completely coat my car with soap (pre-wash) in just a couple of minutes. It is definitely something I will use each wash, and will be a big help with wheel wells and underbody.
Cost: $14.95 @ Costco.
