Foam gun

Amateur

Looking for a recommendation for a foam gun to connect to a garden hose? I dont expect it to be as good as when connected to a pressure washer but anything that comes close? And - any foam gun that might work with both garden hose and pressure washer - that would be idle?

Only one I know if is this but it's not cheap. Not sure how it performs either

Dont think you will find anything that will work marginally well without the pressure from a pressure washer.

Try something cheap like this and it will give you an idea of how useless it will be without the pressure washer https://www.halfords.ie/motoring/car-cleaning/shampoo-polish-wax/demon-shine-demon-foam-with-snow-foam-gun-2-litre

Using one off a garden hose is not much good. If not getting a foam cannon attachment for a pressure washer, you'd be better off looking at a pressurised foam sprayer such as the IK Foam sprayer series. For a full car you would really need to look at the IK9 Foamer, as the IK 1.5 Foamer won't do a whole car in one go that great.

Thanks for the replies and insight.

The connector on the snow foam lance is specific to the make of pressure washer you are attaching it to. I don't think there is a universal one that will fit both a garden hose and pressure washer. As said they are practically useless on a standard garden hose without any sort of pressure.

Pressurized sprayer would probably be better,
Maybe use citrus pre clean instead of foam with it?

I bought one from Ali Express for about 15euro and has been doing the job fine since.

Some places charge an arm and a leg for them
