I inaugurated it with Griot's Foaming Surface Wash in 30 degrees, rinsing with warm water and then driving the car into my garage to wipe it down. Fine product, though I found myself pumping every several seconds.

Awesome product. Only downside is the number of pumps and that it doesn't stay pressurize long enough.

I was surprised at the size of this foamer, it can hold enough liquid to make refilling it unnecessary for all but the biggest projects. The problem, if it can be considered one, is how one must keep the pressure up in the container to maintain "suds quality". You do this by pumping the handle whenever you start to lose pressure. YOU are the air compressor. Still the quality of the suds is great, you can do a car if your patience and arm can hold up. To me the bottom line is it's a good cheap way of producing suds for quality cleaning of your car.

Get ready for a workout. You have to pump quite often. I wouldn't foam a whole car. I use it for wheel wells and wheels. I'll have to try it later for degreasing engines and cleaning mats. It makes good wide foam pattern. It's large and well built. I wish you could adjust the pattern width and not pump it as much.

I am not a big fan of how often you have to pump this thing, but, it does the job it says it was built to do. Sprays a fairly wide pattern of foam and is built very well. I used it to decon a Jeep with Iron-X Snow Foam soap and a Nanoskin wash mitt. Provided a thick enough foam to act as an effective lubricant, and one reservoir full was enough to decon the entire vehicle and wash the rims.

Was surprised how large this sprayer was. Stands about 20" tall & a sturdy build. Easy to use. I originally bought it for shampooing carpets and upholstery, but it can be used for pre-soaking exterior surfaces as well.
