Check out Autogeek.net , this looks like a foam gun/cannon.

Good luck. Have you met FMINUS yet , he's going to produce his own version of a Foam Gun apparently.

Here's something else to consider , I also purchased a fire nossle from Autogeek .It has a great degree of varying power from fine spray to some serious power for wheel wells and bumpers etc, combined with the Wolfgang foam gun the car is much cleaner to start the washing process. Thus less opportunity for fine swirls etc.
Good Luck

Yes, the pic that u shown is foam connon.


Foam connon (Left): must be connected to pressure washer and it's produce very thick foam and will stay much longer than the foam gun produced.
Foam gun (Right): Doesn't need pressure washer, can be connected to hose directly but won't stay long

Foam Cannon = Pressure Washer
Foam Gun = Hose

I have both.

B/T/W RJ - Shouldn't you be buying yourself some new wheels by now? Stop procrastinating with detail products and buy yourself some new wheels already! It's been what...over a year now?

With the amount of money you are about to spend on detail products, you can start looking into some new wheels. Then move to detail products.

He stopped replying to me too. Guess he doesn't have time for detail noobs or "non-paying" customers.

Keith,

That foam cannon looks like it is compatible with the Katcher pressure washers. Can I ask you where you got this picture?

Regards,
Dan
