Just watched your video from Feb 15, 2018. I've been looking for a foam gun just for a water hose. Your description, comments, suggestions and video, fully persuaded me to buy this product. Thank you for sharing.
I've been using my Gilmour Foammaster II for three years now. It is definitely a quality product. The only thing that sort of sucks is that in order to get the best use out of it you need to use a lot of soap in the reservoir to get thicker/clingier foam. Usually I run 50% warm water/soap with my Chemical Guys or Meg's M62. It works the best with 100% but you burn through product. The soap tends to run off more versus a foam cannon w/ pressure washer because of the water concentration so you need to really work one panel at a time.
i had the original gilmour works amazing but i recently traded up to the MTM foam cannon. I also love the Colinite 915 takes long time to apply but its honestly the best wax ive ever used. I was used to those synthetic waxes in the liquid form but they don't even compare. One of my Favorite RUclips channels Great work man!
Thanks for the feedback Tyler yes the MTM is in a different league for sure but if you cant get a pressure washer the Gilmour is the one to get, the 915 is the best kept secret i have been using it for over 20 years. Those liquid waxes are jokes but until you switch you will never look back. Send me some photos of your car via email. AF
Detailing is a great felicity we experience within and express without! Wonderful detailing! Thanks 😀🤗🤩👍❤😍
Thank you very much for reviewing this awesome product. I was initially in the market to buy a pressure washer solely to use a cannon to was my cars but this saved me from doing so!!! Very good, solid build quality. Im not a car show detailed person but definitely like my cars clean and shiny, and this DEFINITELY does the job for me. Thanks again!!!!
I just placed an order this morning for the Chemical Guys Foam Blaster 6. Wish I had seen this video before I ordered. BTW.... that same Gilmour model is on Amazon right now for 39.99. So it's no more expensive than the others.
Nothing is like a foam cannon with a power washer. I get such thick aids on my truck with that and the honey dew. It’s amazing but in the winter time, I really don’t wanna hook all that power washer stuff up. This is quick and much easier.
exactly i received hundreds of emails of guys who can not use a power washer so i thought it was time to show this unit off.
thank- u 4 your thotough coverage on this.ive had my 16 gt-350 now 4 a whole year luv it
Another fantastic video, thanks for making these. I appreciate having access to your knowledge and experience
Foammaster actually makes the CG green foam gun you had in your video and the Detail King version. The Adams foam gun you showed is the exact same one as the budget offering from CG. I wonder who makes those. Adams also has a premium foam gun that's all made in USA. I love my Gilmour Foamaster 2.
DJR5280 yeah if mine lasted this long it says something, thats why i made this video
I have the Adams one and it broke within 2 months... When you turn the water on, it doesn't stop spraying unless you turn it off..... if anyone knows how to fix it let me know
They hopefully have improved the spray bit, as it was spraying far too much at the ground. I'd like to use a foam gun, but my water pressure stinks. I think the city limits it. A pressure washer is only about $125 for an electric one. Perhaps the better choice? Thanks as always!
I just bought this, wanting to see how well it works glad to know it’s well built thanks!
How did the Gilmour work for you?
Thank you for the informative video, keep up the good work👍🏽 this is going to be my next purchase
Terrific video! Thanks so much! I just ordered the Gilmour 75QGFMR Adjustable Foamaster Gun for my Porsche!
How has it held up ? Is it worth it debating to get it or just get an electric pressure washer
Wow, the best way to snowfoam your driveway!!! 😁😬😎
EXACTLY!!! I hope they improved the sprayer 12 years in.
Hey the ones on amazon that are 15 to 20 bucks they are all brass or metal they need power washer I admit buying made in America is important but if quality is same you bought that 12 years ago that's great still works
Would u recommend a blower to dry the car?
Like the Milwaukee blower?
Ty was searching for the right one to purchase sir , awesome!!!
Good video. Every Spring I end up buying new nozzles for my hoses. I never knew there was something more superior than the regular home depot stuff
yeah grab the solid brass Gilmour stuff and if you smash the nozzle you easily replace it without the entire unit. I cant believe the abuse my rig has taken and still works as new over 12 years that is unheard of with garden hose equipment.
Thanks for sharing. The video I didn't know I needed!
My next purchase. Thanks, liked and subscribed
7:10 gets you there
I didn’t know that the concept of foam gun was present 12 years ago!
Dude, lifetime warranty? I'm in! Ordering now! (And I almost bought chemical guys' foam gun LOL) THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY A$$
Leonardo Flores awesome this will be a keeper for a long time
Auto Fanatic by the way, you should def make a video on the best waterless car wash or best full waterless detail to show us which waterless carwash is best! :) That would be a great video for people who live in apartments or areas where water usage is every strict!
i did the griots one and the homemade wash one using stuff i had on hand, my mix works way better, these systems no matter what you chose are costly and you really need a good Sure Shot sprayer to make it works best i feel
Auto Fanatic what does your mix consist of?
I currently use the Chemical Guys Mr Pink and foam gun on 3 cars, once a week. Very good with Sacramento, California water and using it fascinates the neighbors. It’s lasted a year so far, but I’m very careful with it.
water cooled i dropped mine thousands of times it keeps ticking 🇺🇸
The foam gun was a new experience (and experiment) for me. Curious about longevity. Great videos and ideas, keep ‘em coming-
Noticed the amazon link in your comment takes me to a Gilmour 75QGFMR which has a plastic piece in the connector (unlike yours in the video) ? Did you replace that? My chemical guys foam gun didn’t last a year til the spring broke. Couldn’t repair had to trash. Plastic sucks. Glad I found this video!
My Gilmour had a black plastic bumper guard which broke off over the years it is not needed as the main body and connections are solid brass.
Got mine recently (ordered gun only - did not place a separate order for the brass quick connect kit). On the gun end (before fitting the tank) it had a plastic quick disconnect/release end which has an internal spring (the plastic was not a bumper but rather the quick disconnect mechanism itself that slides and compresses the spring). To be specific, the male side of the connection (that is attached to the tank) is brass but the female side (that is attached to the gun) is plastic not entirely but the piece that holds the spring. This means a couple drops of the gun on the ground with minimal impact would bust the spring (just like my previous chemical guys gun). I had hoped that the gun end actually comes with a brass quick connect kit and the 2nd link in your description was a spare. Does the "Gilmour Hose Brass Quick connect kit" have an internal spring? How does it connect and disconnect? I dont see a release on it? you know the internal ball bearings the spring and all.
?! Wth....my Round Up weed sprayer puts out more foam than this. Looks like your your garden hose putting out 5 psi. I believe the products you have work when used properly with the correct amount of pressure..good video anyhow and you're right .. always I mean always!, go with the brass fitting options.
City water can limit PSI. They do it on purpose to us. It's why I need a power washer, but I have no garage and no outdoor storage and no basement--I'm screwed for car care. Everything I use winds up in my kitchen pantry on the floor.
I’m a long time follower and love the videos. I bought the exact Gilmour and man is it built well. I also took your recommendation and got the griots mop and a few extra heads. Do you have a diagram and parts list for the mop mod? I am very interested
I don't think they're made in the US anymore. If it's China made , the nozzle's trigger will NOT last a year. The spring in Gilmour's nozzles used to be made of Stainless Steel. Unfortunately they ceased to be once gilmour started outsourcing manufacturing to China. They even used to market the fact that their spring was Stainless Steel. Now they ignore anyone who asks them about it. If it's made in china, the spring will rust and break guaranteed. But as long as the connection between nozzle and foam container is brass I'm fine with it. Just remove the nozzle once the trigger freezes. And just connect a valved hose directly to the container via quick connect. At least I hope it can be connected that way. I plan to buy gilmour's foamaster.
nice i might have to get the gilmore adj foammaster! thanks for the demo!
The one thing that keeps me from buying a foam gun is the lack of hot water. I can fill up a bucket with hot water and Mothers Carnuba Wash and Wax and the solution mixes better than with cold water, plus I would think cleans better than cold water. Who would clean theirs hands with cold water when hot is available?
i never use hot water, not a huge deal you get use to it but i work with my hands everyday in a shop so it never bothers me
This is the way.
Good Product. My only gripe with these foam guns is the amount of chemical used. Other than that they are perfect for maintenance washes.
yes you def use a ton of soap good thing soap is cheap , i dont mind it just makes me use it what i have and try something new always. some guys fill the foam gun 100% with soap that def uses a ton but i use about 8 oz and the rest water and it isnt too bad for consumption
whats up with that weird spray? was something stuck in there?
Cant his hold up using something like purple power vehicle and boat or apc?
Okay , now do a video for those that don't have a hose hookup either 😁
where did you find that squirt plunger thing to attach to the honeydew snow foam 1/2-1gallon container?
Foam cannon is Good - I use it to wash a car with no buckets needed.
any idea how to remove the green that develops on the brass?
Have you ever used the home garden liquid fertilizer sprayers (like ortho) found in big box stores? They usually have adjustable dilution values and different spray patterns...they look a lot like the ones in your video... [edit] do you use a water softener?
K03sport those are cheapo sprayers all plastic no solid brass construction for the important parts
I believe they lack the foaming nozzle so it would be useless. Well maybe not totally useless but it probably won't produce the amount of suds like you'd get from a foam gun
So I’ve been using a pressure washer this whole time but it broke and looking to buy one of this. Can this foam gun replace the pressure washer process? Thanks!
MM Kid this will def get you by for sure, it just a different process il be shooting a video soon showing a full hand wash with this and no other fancy equipment.
But dude,that foam gun dont seem to spray well at all,lots of soap is being wasted on the floor as you spray it......
But dude.... did you see how thick and foamy setting #5 was?
That’s ok
@@theman7095 Terrible! the foam was on the ground! Poor spray!
If it was named Gilligan it would be perfect LOL
3 complete pumps should be around 3 oz just fyi -- thats usually what those pumps put out
I wonder if this would attach to the WORX Hydroshot? I've got one but I don't like soap dispenser made for it.
I'm looking at the hydroshot. Did you get a different gun for it? Does shoot foam more like the foam guns like snow?
@@dd9354 For the Hydroshot, It will have big foam bubble like a garden hose no matter what you use for it. You are probably better off using a hose and a foam gun. I used an IK foamer and the hydroshot for a while. IK to foam the car and hydroshot to rinse down with filtered water.
more videos please! awesome channel
Cody Cate sift through over 100 more posted here 👍
Just got one and is little different,my has a gap between the hose handle conector to the bottle and the bottle moves it sucks....maybe it’s not mounted right?
did you order the same one? should not do that, mine is missing the plastic ring where the hose connects, dropped mine many times in 10+ years
Auto Fanatic its look like the same just the regulator is different the rest is the same.....paid $50 tha same one you have is $60 but just the regulator is different
The bottle spins....its not firm,came with a small little black piece “deflector” don’t know where it goes the model number for the gun is #95QGFMR
jnagime try it out first, mine is better one you might want to exchange it for one i show here
call Gilmour direct tomorrow youll actually speak to someone who can help on this.
is this foam gun able to put on a power washer ?? is it compatible ?
Jacky Hyper the foam gun is for the hose the foam cannon is for a pressure washer
Great intro music. Love Post Malone!
trapcracker cool yeah he is putting out some great music very unique artist
Foam Cannon. Next!
Hi the link for the foam master has the black connector. So they don't sell the one u have anymore?
rena13003 same one the plastic protects brass connector mine broke off years ago
Awesome thanks for the quick response. I getting my 2003 Acura TL repainted and I'm wanting to do a better job at keeping the paint looking good. I do have a Dewalt pressure washer just wondering if i want to invest in a foam cannon. Thanks again.
Works better if you don't add water just straight soap
Based on this video I bought this foam gun. Getting ready to use it - seems really solid. Directions that came with it not too good. On top of the selector there is a small screw and the letters 7 5 0 G F imprinted. What are they for?
Do you like it? Is it spraying at the ground like his?
@@lockergr It works fine. Just need to adjust the hose pressure and select the right foam gun opening.
@@lockergr Just looked at the video again. I believe that if you want foam that just stays on the side you might need a different soap.
Your not suppose to add water to the soap
Whats the deal? just drop a lot of water or wash the car?
Hi, im not a big fan of the foam guns, foam cannons im crazy about them
You must have lower standards, because I only see a watery consistency.
Can this be connected to a power washer
I don't think so. If it's for a pressure washer it'll be called a foam cannon. Atleast from what I've seen.
I don't care what you all say, you can't beat elbow grease and patience.
Work smarter, not harder.
You can get the Foam master Foam gun just like the one in the video at Autogeek.com for under $50 if you catch a 20% or 25% sale that they run all the time. It's a great tool. I've had one for years.
i stopped buying from Autogeek a while ago, their handling fees and shipping fees suck along with their return policy, not a fan of buying anything from them anymore FYI to anyone out there.
That's a bogus claim. I've bought from them for years with no incidence and they always made things right and they run sales all the time with free shipping or $ 4.99 with no minimum. A lot cheaper than Amazon on the same products.
sounds like you must work for them, i bought many things they would not take back even a brand new FleX buffer and that was last year and they send me the wrong buffer pads for my other machine and took a restock fee when it was their mistake, that is a fact, i will never buy from them ever again
No. I don't work for them. I live in Ohio. I've bought from them for many many years. They've always took good care of me the few times I had issues. I've haven't found a site cheaper. Detailed Image, CarPro Products, The Rag Company, and Amazon are all higher is what I've found but some rare times they may have something that Autogeek.com doesn't carry. I.ve even called them when I needed something and they gave me the 20% savings and free shipping. I'm highly surprised you've had issues based on my experiences.
yeah i bought a few pricey items and the lady literally was fighting with me over the phone it really turned me off. I like Amazon because they always cover the return shipping back and it is just so much easier. Also for me anything from Autogeek took 5-7 days to arrive, anything from Chemical guys or Amazon 48 hours. All other products i buy locally through my wholesale account. I hope they FIRED this lady who gave me hell more than once at Autogeek.
What water hose brand do you recommend?
They make automotive ones that are flexible and have higher PSI.
Playback at 1.5x speed for best results. You're welcome.
None of these hose Foaming guns come even close to a Power Washer Foam Gun. This looks way to watery. :o/ Also the tip should be metal as well, not plastic :o/
Thanks for the video.
Get a ik manual pump sprayer In stead. These garden hose foam canons, are waste of time.
I love my little ik1.5. They take some pumping to keep foaming (as they all do), but thick foam, great tool, good quality, good price.
WTF is the snow???is winter over,BTW ,all these now a days are made in China
Bigdog Bulldog it warmed up no more snow, i wonder if the new foamasters are made in 🇺🇸hope someone can let us all know
$60 for that Schyt??????? #NoThanks... Rather buy The $20 Walmart Gun!!!!!!
First
Junk!
