Default Soap Mixing Spray Wand

I have been looking for a power washer but don't have the extra cash laying around to get the one I want. Found this in Wal Mart today and used it this afternoon. I was thoroughly impressed. For only $15, this did a great job! I used Meg's platinum soap and poared it in the wand's chamber and it created a nice suddsy mix as I sprayed it on the car. It wasn't quite strong enough to get all the little tar and bugs that were stuck to the paint, but was still very satisfied. When you are finished soaking the car, you simply switch the wand to rinse and rinse away. Cut my wash time in half, will be using this everytime until I purchase a power washer system.

Here is a link (couldn't find much online):

Better to just go with the foam master, these cheap soap mixers don't foam up soap very well.

I will probably upgrade to that in the future...but for now, the cheap wand is exceeding my expectations.

I used the Walmart wand. Piece of junk. Instead of simply siphoning soap into the water stream, it simply runs the water right through the soap dispenser and immediately starts diluting from the beginning.

That's the same problem with the target soap mixer, dilutes it.

I have the adjustable ones (Gilmour 75QGFMR), but I have to go through with a microfiber sponge anyway - does that mean I didn't use enough soap or just the stuff is caked on?

EDIT: I found the answer - basically it's best used as a lubricant. You will still need to use soap+sponge to get maximum cleanliness.

Yeah, and make sure to spray it off really well to not leave soap residue. I've had that in the past.
