Foaming my Camaro: The pictures.

Thought I'd show you guys some pics of my Camaro after hitting it with my Gilmour foam gun. I used 2oz of Zaino Z7 car wash for my mixture. I used it on the middle setting and all I can say is WOW. It was awesome. It laid down tonnes of foam. The quart was enough to foam the car four times over.

Enjoy!

Sorry that they're sideways. No idea why that happened but it probably has a lot to do with my lack of computer intelligence.

I just ordered the 95 model, think that is the Foam master II you are talking about right? 75 is the foam master 1 I think.

Correct. Typo on my part. 95 is the II and 75 is the I.

You won't be disappointed. It's awesome and fun to use.

Yeah I use a regular hose. I've only ever used Zaino for my wash. I was actually a little worried about the Zaino because I had read some posts that said it didn't foam up that great. Well they were wrong. As you can see by my pics, it foamed like mad and that was with only 2oz of soap on the middle setting.

I think you'll be fine with Megs. Give it a try and go from there. Fill the cannister with water then add 2oz of soap, swirl it around to mix and let 'er rip!

I used my Foamaster II with Meguiars GC and it worked like a charm

So with this, you just blow foam all over it, then spray off? Or do you still need to do a traditional wet scrub?
