Foamer Sprayers & Gallon Pumps

[Poorboy]

After requests by many people we now have some Foam Sprayers and Gallon Pumps. The Foamers are great for use with APC on tires, engine compartments, carpet, and upholstery. They are also awesome with Spray & Rinse on your wheels.
The Gallon Pumps will work with both Liquids and Polishes and will make it easy to refill your bottles.

Heavy Duty Foam Sprayers are $2.45 each
Gallon Pumps are $3.75 each

We have also checked for the availability of the Foamer Sprayers that attach to your hose and are used for car washing among other things. First they are very expensive and there is little mark-up to make these worth stocking, but if we can get a group to commit to buying these, I will purchase them and send them out at cost. They come in either 1 or 2 quart sizes and we need a minimum of 6 people to get a decent deal. They will be about $50-$53 .

A true foam gun, such as the variety manufactured by Gilmour with the brass fittings, would be great. Folks have been looking for a good, single online source for them. It would be great to see Poorboy's being the first all detailing supplies site to offer them. :bigups

 

[Poorboy]

I believe these have "Vitron", chemical resistant fittings..not sure how that compares to the Gilmour brass version:dunno

FOAM ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:band


I used mine for the first time with bug Squash and it really puts out a nice stream of foam.I beleave i used less prodect for the same amount of coverage and as an added bonus I got see right where the product was.
I got mine for attending the Pinic but I'm gettting a few more from steve real soon

Steve, you can add me to the foam gun list. Put me down for the one quart size.

Steve, are you planning to carry the pump-up foamer / sprayer? I recall you posted a picture of one just before the hack attack.

I have a sample that I'll play around with and see how well it works. It's quite a bit cheaper than the one that attaches to the hose, but has all the same working parts...it can be a great alternative at about half the price

 

[The Pit]

Yeah, that's the one. I'm thinking that would be good for foaming the engine bay with degreaser.

Steve, How would you like us to order the new nozzles/pump dispensers? I don't see them on the website. Thanks for giving the handpump foamer a go and giving us your opinion...I'm very interested to hear what you think of it in comparison the the hose foamer you are considering offering.

Steve,

Definitely keep us posted on the foamer. It is something that I would definitely be interested in.

 

[The Pit]

Just to clarify, the hose-end foam gun is for washing. The pump up foamer is for spraying chemicals (like a mini garden sprayer). They are not competing products, right? I can't imagine trying to wash a car with the pump-up sprayer.

 

[detailbarn]

Is this a picture available of the unit in question? Thanks

 

[chml17l]

Steve,

It would be very helpful if you could post a pic of the hose-end foam gun sprayer. There are several people from Autopia that are interested and would like to compare the one you are offering to the Gilmour foam gun.

Steve,

The foamer/sprayer you have attached above seems like a great product for something like Bug Wash or a APC Pretreat. I think I'd be interested in both the foamer and that sprayer

can't seem to get a picture of it to post, but it looks like the pump one without the pump and an attachment for the hose :biggrin:

For the Foaming Sprayer and gallon pumps, just contact me via pm or e-mail
[email protected] ....we'll be getting them up on the site soon ....I'll probably test the pump out next week after the kids go back to school :lol:

Here's a couple pictures of the Foam Gun ...it is a Gilmour Gun and made with brass fittings....like I said earlier if we can get a group buy together(6+) they will be $50 plus shipping. If we don't get at least 6 orders, then add about $10 to each gun.

 

[Bill D]

That's it, the true foam gun. Good price too Steve! I'd highly encourage anyone considering one to jump on it. You won't be disappointed and you will likely not go back to washing the old way. I personally ditch the trigger and connect the gun directly to the hose. What I would suggest getting are some brass quick disconnects and a plastic cut off valve to easily attach it to the hose and control the water flow. These items can be found at Lowe's or Sears.

It looks like it would work well in prespraying APC on heavy equipment, 45' Trailers, etc. :yes:

What are the chemical to water ratios you can dial in on this thing?

I'm very interested, and want one even if it is :horse:

--love the Baba Booey doll avatar . I have his autograph here in the office.

Here are the ratios for my Gilmour shower foam gun. I assume they're universal:

1-128---1oz/gal

1-64---2oz/gal

1-32--4
1-20--6

1-10--12
