does anybody use a snowfoam gun with the standard hoselock connector?I havent got room for a jetwash at home its a struggle keeping the normal hose.

Ive seen these two but why is one so much more than the other?

The Gilmour generates a much thicker foam, closer than the Super Sprayer to a foam lance on a pressure washer.

I have a SS and use it for when the car isnt very dirty... all other times it gets foamed using the pressure washer and lance.

I bought the SS originally thinking that it would be an ok alternative to the lance or gilmour but it wasnt long before i was spending money on a p/w and lance.

i managed with the super sprayer for a few months and they do work well but you couldnt call the soap mixture they produce "foam"... it doesnt cling to the car in the way foam from the lance or gilmour would.

To give you an idea.

This is the foam produced by a Gilmour

This is from a foam lance - bare in mind that the mixture in this pic is APC and Citrus Bling... not a dedicated snow foam product which produce much thicker foam.
