Brookstone Foam Gun

I bought one, and tried it out this weekend.



My advice: give it a pass. Definitely not worth the money. It doesn't foam at all (which is predictable, I guess). basically, it will allow you to spray some soapy water onto your car, but is certainly not sufficient to eliminate the need for a bucket. Moroever, it is clunky and hard use as a standard nozel.



Basically, It think you are better off with a plain spray bottle and a nice fireman type of nozzle. But, this particular gadget does not do much of anything.

Yeah, if you want a true foam gun, the Butchers or the one I got locally that can be seen on automagic.com is the one to get.

Bill, isn't the Simple Green foamer like the one you and Accumulator have?

Looks very close, I can't tell if it has the same sort of brass sliding ratio adjuster. Wow, that holds a half gallon. Nice. That one may indeed be the best online source for a pro foam gun.

I put that one on the Christmas list I gave my wife, so I guess if Santa doesn't bring it I'll just have to order it.... thanks.

Don't forget to look on ebay, that's where I got mine

Return it and get one of those nifty massagers. Oh dear

 

[imported_The Uncle]

LOL. It would probably be a little more useful (well, at least for some things).

It kind of goes to show--If it doesn't look like a foam gun then it's probably not a foam gun.

It appears from the threads about foam guns both here and on Detail City that the real foam guns known available are:



The Gilmour foam gun ( seen on automagic.com)



Butchers foam gun ( appears identical but different colors)



Simple Green foam gun





I don't think anyone reported back on the Simple Green variety yet and IIRC it's cumbersome to get the Butchers online and the Gilmour from Auto Magic is rather pricey at $72.



I purchase mine locally, the same as the $72 one, for a total of $58. The store does ship but I do not believe it is in the rules of the forum for me to post the contact info/# here for anyone interested :nixweiss

I just bought the foam gun from Automagic. I'm hoping to to get it before this weekend. I also bought not one, but TWO GritGuards! That way I can use the foam gun and rinse twice!

That's the way to go! :up
