I picked up one because I was interested and didn't want to wait. It came today and I tried it out on the two saab's and it works well.
The unit uses line hose pressure and works really well. I had another bucket for rinsing the wash sponge.
I would reccomend this to anyone.

For use with hose end applications, the manufacturer lists that it can be used at 40-90 PSI with best results at 40-60 PSI.

Last night I did a ratio of 2 ounces of car wash concentrate with 16 ounces of distilled water in the canister to do the pre-soak on one car. Plenty of suds for the job and still had 1/2 cannister of mix left over. The distilled water helps to create more sudsing action(requires less soap concentrate) compared to using hard water.

foam guns are great .. I have been using them for a couple of years and love them. THey work great with a standard yard hose.
Steve.. I have had several foam guns, and that one is my favorite, and the one I currently use. TI has been the most durable and is easily adjustable, as I like to place with different soaps all the time, and it makes it very easy.

I would pay for the filter alone. I can sud myself, but the water in AZ is terrible and it dries too quickly to wipe off in most instances. Design a proper filter, not like those cheap "no dry" kits in the stores with a filter that acutally works...
I would buy it a heartbeat.

Basically it is a lawn fertilizer sprayer/ weed killer sprayer. Surprised no one has seen one before? And to Steve at Tropicare I am not ******* your product at all... simply showing a comparison and they work in pretty much the same fashion.

In comparison, the landscape application version looks similar but works different. Its mixing ratios range from 1 teaspoon to 10 tablespoons of concentrate. The Gilmour 362 Professional No Pre-Mix Sprayer is one of 8 hose end and hand sprayers which run from about $4-25 retail.
