Gilmour Foam Gun... the first use -

Re: Gilmour Foam Gun... the first use -

Thanks. I got tired of waiting for someone at Brinkmann. Over 30 minutes on hold after an initial recording.

I wanted to find out how much their shipping was and if and where I could get it near Clearwater, Florida.

Check ebay in a few days. My Gilmoure will be on cheap, used once. Just bought it, used it once, and thought it was garbage. Cute toy, great for kids to wash their bicycles, but not for real auto detailers. (and I don't consider myself anywhere near as particular as some of you fellows) The soap either dripps off or dries on the paint before you get to it. Just my experience..."your mileage may vary".

Just have to pick which companies quick connects (and wha tstyle) you want to use... kind of have to put them on all your stuff.

What do you need to know about the Dual Zenon?

Thanks. I got tired of waiting for someone at Brinkmann. Over 30 minutes on hold after an initial recording.

I'm thinking of picking up two and wondered if they will charge me twice the shipping or ship together for the price of one. Think I'll shoot them an email and see if I have better results with customer service.

Yeah, you'll have to buy some quick connects seperatley.

That's what I figured. I'll have to wait to get the nozzle and foam gun to see what I really need, I guess. Looking forward to foaming our two trucks!

Re: Gilmour Foam Gun... the first use -

I just ordered this gun yesterday from Amazon and a fire hoze nozzle, but think I may have missed getting an attachment to swap from gun to nozzle quickly. Looks like I need a quick connect?

Looks like a nice gun though. Not sure if I should have sprung for the better nozzle.
(I've been sitting here on hold with Brinkmann to get info and the dual zenon spot mentioned in another thread......21 minutes and counting.......)

Hey gb387,

Brandon,

Glad to see you are liking the foam gun.

I received mine about 3 weeks ago and I have used it twice. The second time went a little better than the first. The first time I used it at the highest foaming setting and went through the soap solution before I finished my wifes Trailblazer. I went through a lot of Gold Class Shampoo that day.

I used it again last Thursday on my Camry at the lowest setting and still had half the soap solution left at the end of the wash. So finding the perfect setting should not be problem at my next wash.

The jury is still out with me on whether it's a faster wash or not. Even though I eliminated the wash bucket, I still had to visit the rinse bucket often for cleaning my mitt.

I'm thinking if I use four wash mitts for one car wash I could really save time by making this a bucketless process.

Yeah... I figure the next time around it will be a little more smooth. I was using two wash mitts and that helped speed things up but I do like the idea of adding more mitts.

Re: Gilmour Foam Gun... the first use -

no pictures of the foam?

I was looking for the foam shot (money shot) too! So, with the foam gun, you foam the truck, then wash as normal with the foam still on? Or, do you foam, rinse, then wash?

I swear I put them on there.... they are in my gallery.

Give me a min...

EDIT: Added.... no mater how many times you preview it you for get something. I guess I am getting old!

Glad the Foamer is a Keeper!!

i know there are many detailing tools these days that aren't "must haves" but in all honesty, this is one of the best purchases i've ever made and worth every penny.
