Good day everyone GarageKing here and today I'm going to do a review and talk
a little bit about foam guns I bought this gilmore one used basically there's
two models we'll talk about that very briefly but first why should you even
have a foam gun well it's good because it helps prevent swirls and scratches
because you spray a whole bunch of foam on the vehicle and it helps to lift the
dirt so by that you're not scrubbing the dirt in your you're lifting it up and
then you can wash it away nice and easy so it does help make your car look
better for a longer period of time so that's good
so now let's get to the meat of it okay so there's two models of the gilmore gun
this one's a variable orifice so you can see I'll bring it in here it you can
slide it with this bar here it's the older style the new ones got a turning
tab and you can see the marks there those are the detent stops and if I go
up here I'm not too sure if you can see but oh yeah there's one hole and they
get progressively smaller so there's five steps
the newest one I looked up has a 2e which is five settings this one has five
settings as well so it's just a way of doing things I personally like more
brass because I think it's just more durable so that's great about this one
used so now to put it together all you do is you just put this like this each
one will be a little bit different but generally there's probably the same
because it's same type of technology so this will go together and then your
front part just clips on it swivels nice and easy and you can go like this so
there you go it's all on I'll have a lovely assistant
today helping me so that's really nice now one thing about the variable orifice
I'll talk about is the steps so you can go anywhere from one ounce per gallon
all the way up to twelve ounces per gallon so and the steps are one two four
six and twelve now I should let you know when it's on twelve ounces per gallon uh
you can go through one of these while you're washing your car very easily so
it really really uses it so fast but at the same time it generates a whole lot
of suds very similar to a foam cannon well not as good as a foam cannon it's
it's a lot I have a pressure washer and I don't really use it because this thing
is is just that good so that's great so now let's talk about what we should put
inside does it even matter what type of soap
goes inside this foam gun actually it doesn't have a few set up on my toolbox
let's talk about them because there's one that stands out ok so here I have a
few different types of soaps here now basically here's one pile and here is
the other pile these are all automotive type soaps these will work great they'll
produce a lot of suds they'll work great you won't have any problem and we have
everything from the cheaper ones to the ones that cost a little bit more but
they're all really good I just want to make note if you decide to put dish soap
in it it's fine it will make a lot of sets the only thing is it'll strip the
wax off your paint so you can actually use it I guess if you wanted to if
you're going to be doing ceramic Oh later or you're gonna be doing maybe
some type of clay barring or whatever decontamination and you don't care
because you're gonna strip it right down and apply wax later or apply a type of
sealant later then that's fine I guess you can go ahead and do it
what I always use is I keep two automotive soaps they're designed for
the car so that's what I use and I've used Chemical Guys auto Bloom you can
see simonized they all work pretty well they're all good but they're all good in
their own way some of them have a little more lubricity than others maybe I
should be doing some reviews on the different types of car washes or maybe
doing more detailing videos because I do quite a bit of detailing so maybe I'll
do that as well I don't know but anyway I wanted to just bring this to your
attention that if you decide to put household dish soap in just beware it
will strip your car of all waxes and oils that are on it right now let's try
out the simonize let's see how it is for me
this concludes the video folks so as you can see the foam gun worked great and we have a
great finish on the truck which looks great so if you have any questions
or comments please leave them below once again i'd appreciate if you would

the next one thank you
