I have the one Adams sold awhile back. A must have. Like you said it minimizes swirls by taking the dirt and breaking it down running off the car. You'll be adding a few ounces (I like adding a bit more than others) of soap and water. Again, it's worth the money.

No they don't. Reason being it was not made in the USA. A lot o people like their Gilmor foamer. If you want the one I have you
Can check out GPC. They are located in PA. |

They stopped selling it because they found out it wasn't made in the USA.
It's the Gilmour foamaster you can find on amazon. *In life, there are no nandroids*

My car gets the ghetto wash treatment. And you do add a mix of soap and water. Add about 1/2" of soap into the bottom, and slowly add water til full. Shake it up to mix it and you're good to go. I usually set mine on "D" *In life, there are no nandroids*

The foam gun IS NOT a replacement for your 2 bucket wash. Its simply a way to deliver a lot of soap directly to the vehicle, which makes life a lot easier. You can do a swirl free wash without a foam gun, its just that a foam gun will make washing a lot faster as you aren't struggling to get soap to the vehicle from the bucket as much. You should still have 1 rinse bucket and 1 soap bucket just like normal. As I tell most people - a foam gun is a NICE TO HAVE, but not a MUST HAVE. |

It's all relative, lol. I think my car looks hideously dirty 90% of the time. Still looks better than 99% of cars on the road though.
