anyone know of any good ones? not looking to break the bank, but i dont want a piece o crap that wont last 2 washes..... i was looking at this one, seems to be well reviewed. Amazon.com : Gilmour 75QGFMR Foamaster Adjustable Multi Ratio Cleaning Gun : Watering Nozzles : Patio, Lawn & Garden


my main concern is engine cleaning for it, but if i can foam up the truck, take my microfiber mop to it and rinse, and have it look good all the better. but as i said, i figure a good foaming on the engine, sit for 15 minutes and rinse would be a decent option.


anyone use one and have a recomendation?

no pressure washer, and not really supposed to use them on the decals. id hate to get a pressure washer just to use a foam lance. but otherwise yes a foam lance is something id be looking for.


woot has a Karcher electric one today for $80 or 90 i think, but the reviews are really shit for em.... before the reviews i was thinking about it. thanks for the input tho!

The $80 Harbor freight electric is a better unit than the Cheap Karchers. It at least has brass fittings etc whereas the Karchers are almost 100% plastic. I buy them and keep them on my boats because they're so small and cheap. The pressure they put out is enough to wash a truck but not enough to really do damage IMO. The foam sprayer it comes with works pretty well for the $$, only problem is the reservoir is too small, but some minor ingenuity fixes that.

I went to running's and got a weed applicator so I had something now it was under $10 and have washed 20 times at least tractors pickup planter I just add water to the soap and shake it up good work until I can get a better presser washer one.
