Default Hydrofoam attachment

I saw this attachment last night at Sears. Anyone have any experience? Might be a replacement for the foam cannon.

I had to give this product a review before I can make anymore assumptions of it. I went out to the local Sears and picked up a 28oz bottle for about $11.84 total.

The instructions read you can dilute one 28oz bottle to 1 gallon water or 4:1 so I decided with the 4:1.

The foaming ability itself was pretty fun to look it, the lance sprayed it pretty thick and it was full of suds. However, the foam started falling away only after 30-45 seconds of being on the car.

The foams cleaning ability wasn't very great. It took me a few foams to notice a difference.

Overall I would say this product is OKAY. It foams more than most shampoos I've used and looks like it would be a great lubricant for the 2 bucket system.

did you use just the concentrate with your own gun? or did you use it with their supplied lance as well?

i used the solution with my own gun


EDIT: I just purchased the solution alone, I did not want to spend 5 more dollars on another attachment, I already have too many foaming attachments and nothing has compared to the cannon, even at the price of $90

Isn't that really what the foam is suposed to do, pull dirt with it.

I never understood using the foam cannon and having foam as thick as shaving cream that doesn't suspend or remove dirt.

awesome thread. good point made above by Ubetit.
i'm torn between the good 'ol gilmor and the foam cannon. looking for some good opinions here.

i plan on getting one of those little cheap pressure washers soon (the kinda that are >200 as i don't have a need for a huge 800 dollar machine)
