good foam gun - affordable gilmour alternative

[forde]

Well, ive seen this talked about on numerous forums mainly detailing world and i have never seen anything but great things said about it. Seems like a good alternative to the gilmour which is awful expensive. Sure, it doesnt make quite as much foam as the gilmour but for a safe wash its plenty.

Plus its only £8.95! Ive ordered mine so ill report back when i get it and tell you what its like, but if you go to detailing world people have already posted reports and pics. Theres videos on the superspray site too.

Nice find mate, let us know how you get on with it as you say.

Bought 1, and bined it in 10mins... Sprays foam everwhere... The car got cover, I got covered, my Dog ( George ) got covered... It also doesn't put enough foam on the car, just not strong enough... Buy a Gilmour, you won't look back....

 

[Coog]

Looks pretty much like the spray coverage I get with my Flash car wash job which included 2 bottles of shampoo and 2 water de-ionisers for £5. (semi-chem)

Does an alright job but still need a bucket of soapy water nearby...

 

[Boydie]

how much is a gilmour? does it work well with low pressure water?

the pressure at my house is shocking - i use the pressure washer all the time!

 

[Ruth]

they are around £50 i think boydie

 

[Neil_M]

Any recomendations for clipping onto a standard hose?

 

[Father Stack]

Gilmour's clip onto a standard hose, and work really well

 

[forde]

Yeah, but the gilmour is like 50 quid .

I dunno, i was on a load of forums where people were talkin about this theres numerous threads about it on detailing world and i was readin about it on some toyota forums too, and it really was getting rave reviews from everyone that had bought it (which was pretty much everyone on detailing world). The first and only person ive heard say a bad word about it is Amos there.

I thought id give it a go cos i dont really need a foam gun so cant justify spendin 50 notes on a gilmour, but at the price of it if its any good then its a good deal, and if its not then fck it lol. Im sure it doesnt make as much foam as a gilmour lol but who needs that much foam ffs

 

[Neil_M]

Well sure give it a go anyway sir!

got my gilmour yesterday.

does the job but was expecting more for the price really.

do u guys mix the snow foam or put it in pure? what setting do u's use? a,b,c,d,e?

 

[forde]

well i got my superspray yesterday its some job, it doesnt make mad amounts of foam like a gilmour but it makes plenty of suds for washin the car. As long as you use some good shampoo your flying, and you dont need to have a bucket of soapy water nearby just a rinse bucket. chris you use a bit of shampoo topped up with water.

I use setting c, and use a 50/50 split with Snow Foam, and Poor Boys Wash and Wax......

 

[Christopher]

right. do u mix any water in the actual container?

 

[Amos]

Yea Lad I put about 1cm of Snow Foam in, Then another 1cm of Poor Boys, Then add Hot water....

 

[Christopher]

thanks boss. was wondering cos at the rate i'd have been working the whole bottle of snow foam would have lasted 2 washes max!

check out the Trade section

you can advertise in there, its much prefered than adding a post to all the threads in the car care forum.

It does not cost to advertise in the Trade section

 

[Boydie]

can you add these accessories onto power washers?

as i said above - the water pressure at my house is shockingly bad - or would it be enought to just stick it on my hose?? (sounds rude)

 

[forde]

Well, i have shocking water pressure too and the superspray works very well.

I have now got a gilmour too, but only because i won £50 on the lottery and decided to try a gilmour. Had i not been gifted the money i wouldnt have bought a gilmour due to the price. And to be honest the superspray was good enough, the gilmour is certainly a bit better, but not £40 better. The gilmour works well at my house too as in it produces a lot of foam, it just doesnt squirt the foam a huge distance lol.

I wouldnt add either to a power washer lol.

 

[Ruth]

Sell me your gilmour then

 

[Christopher]

i'll sell u mine for £45 lol

 

[Ruth]

£30 and we're getting somewhere
