Question 1

What will the foam do to my car? Will it clean it or what's the point of a foam blaster?

Accepted Answer

Foam is used as a pre-treatment before normal car washing to loosen the dirt and grime on the car's surface.  It is not meant to completely clean the car although the foam does remove some of the dirt and grime.  Loosing the dirt before washing is very important to maintain a shiny/glossy finish on the car with no scratches.  Washing a dirty car without foaming it first increases the probability of scratching the surface even with a microfibre mitt because you have to rub too hard to remove the dirt.  In most cases, the foam loosens the dirt so effectively that just hosing the car off will clean it.  The ultimate car wash would be touchless and the foam helps to achieve that which is why touchless automatic drive-through car washes use the same technique.  Regarding the foam blaster, the foam is bought as a thick liquid in a bottle.  After pouring the liquid into the foam blaster and connecting it to a hose, the foam blaster automatically mixes the liquid with the right amount of water to create the foam.  The foam coming out of the foam blaster is applied all over the car to form a foam blanket.

Question 2

what would you recommend as the best liquid to use when washing a new car?

Accepted Answer

The Honeydew Snow Foam by Chemical Guys is the recommended product. I tried both today, the snow foam was by far the best at making suds. I only had to use setting 3 and still got more than the Mr. Pink did. You can use any car soap though, if you wanna do it on the cheap.

Question 3

How do I connect this to my garden hose? The mount doesn't seem to match.

Accepted Answer

You don't need a quick connect to operate the Foam Blaster. Simpy remove the quick connect adapter and screw into your garden hose. If you already have a quick connect on your garden hose then you can use the included fitting.

Question 4

Does this come with the hose sprayer or just the soap holder

Accepted Answer

Mine came with the hose trigger/sprayer which quick connects to the dispenser and can be removed to use like a regular garden nozzle.  It comes with everything you see in the picture.
