Anyone interested in getting a foam gun? Want to see if there are any interested parties. If there are, kindly list down your name/nick here. Not conducting a group buy, but looking to see if there is a big enough # of people to start one.

So far the lowest price i could get is 40bucks exclude shipping and this supplier not ship outside us... if i happen to bring in maybe not many...will try to lower the price to at least usd 60 as we had to pay double shipping charges from us to us and from us to Malaysia..

You can google to find the difference between foam gun/foam lance(cannon).

But to put it simply, from what I have gathered thru web searches, other detailing forums, usage practicality:
Foam Gun:
+ side;
Easy to setup. Almost no setup at all.
You should have your garden hose ready at all time. Just need to cucuk this foam gun to the hose, add shampoo in the container (some add a bit of water too, depends). then you're all set.
Totally new meaning to plug-n-play.
- side;
foam not as frothy as foam lance.
foam will not cling or dwell. stronger shampoo or foam shampoo might help but you run the risk of stripping whatever you had put on.

Foam Lance/Cannon:
+ side;
foam very frothy.
foam dwells/clings nicely.
- side;
A bit tedious for a home-user to setup. what more an apartment dweller to use.
You need a pressure washer/power washer (PW). Then the foam cannon to be fitted to the PW bayonet. Then you need a long power cable and long PW hose for you to go around the car spraying foam.
And since using a PW washer, tends to give lots of overspray. You may end up with foam all over your porch or compound.


Summary:
For a home-detailer or apartment-detailer, foam gun is the one. Makes washing easier, faster to complete. No need for 2 bucket wash all the time.
For a serious or commercial user, foam cannon is the one. If it wasnt for the setup time, the overspray, mess up the whole porch, this would be ideal for home/apartment casual user.

Hope this helps ppl make decision to get/not to get, and which one to get.

Bro. Jackson,
The other topic is on Malaysia being far away and high shipping cost.
I think let this foam gun run on the foam gun topic by itself is better....so please continue here on the foam gun.... smile_thumbup.gif
