First off there is 2 kinds of foam guns!!
The first common one is one that will connect to your typical garden hose!
The second type is a Cannon that attaches to your pressure washer!!

U should take into consideration of what tools u have readily available and what u use more to make your purchase..
Obviiusly the Foam cannon on a pressure washer is the BEST u can get!!

how is a foam cannon better than just washing?

FYI you can get the Gilmour Foamaster on Amazon for about $20 cheaper than on any of the detailing sites.

It's used in the washing process. You put soap in the cannister and it foams up on the car. I'm hoping on a car that's not too dirty, it will reduce the need for using a wash mitt in most situations. Not using a wash mitt could reduce the chance for swirling and make it even easier in the cold.

Ya the foam gun is used after u rinse the car! u foam the car..Typically u still would wash the car with a mf or sheepskin mit though...Depending on the wax or sealant on your car if it realeases the dirt or not u may or may not have to use a mit!!

If you guys are looking for a way to clean in the cold i highly recommend ONR!

Dumb question maybe, but what's ONR...?

328i · 12-15-2007, 03:28 PM

ONR is Optimum No Rinse wash, it allows you to wash your car without the use of a garden hose. You just fill a bucket up with water, add the ONR and soak a coulple sheepskin mitts or microfiber towels in it then wash the car a section at a time. The difference is you dry the section right after you wash it. Its really the only way I wash cars anymore, much faster and if done right doesnt cause any marring at all.
