and don't laugh but I have the gilmour foam gun, It seems the Cam sprayer works much better because the foam sticks on the car and looks like it is a thicker foam, I've tried to get this with the gilmour but I just can't get it to come out quite like how your picture shows lol. Is this due to the fact that the Cam spray hooks up to a pressure washer and the gilmour does not??

thanks

BTW excellent Work!!!

that would be correct the Cam Spray foams better because its hooked up to the pressure washer.

unfortunately the gilmour will never produce that type of foam.

i've done engine bay detailing where I use a very light mist with a garden hose to rinse the engine, I'm very cautious around the engine, however, I've seen some detailer's foam the entire engine bay and then mist the pressure washer over the engine to rinse the foam and APC or degreaser, what would you say to this? Could you define your rinse step? Water and high pressure washer around electrical components of the engine just makes me nervous

1 on a cold dry motor spritz some APC on the engine bay - concentrate on the dirty areas.

2 let sit, use a boar's hair brush to agitate
3 with a good steady stream of pressure rinse the bay down
4 dry the motor with a good drying towel
5 start engine to complete the drying
6 use Adam's In and Out Spray to dress it

if anything makes you nervous go to a pro.

we use a pressure washer at the shop to rinse off the motor.

most newer cars are water resistant anything older than 1995 maybe a concern where I would cover sensitive components
