    Hi guys,

    I want to buy the Foam Cannon HP from autogeek.com. Is this pretty much the best foam gun available if I am not mistaken?

    I got an air compressor in the garage, is that all I need to make this work?

    I really want to make this work, so what will I need besides the Foam Cannon HP itself?

    Thank you so much for all your support!

    the foam cannon i believe is a pressure washer gun attachment so you'll need a pressure washer.

    A foam cannon uses a pressure washer, foam gun uses a hose, and the tornador from AG is the unit for air compressors. I don't know which one is the best foam cannon, but I got mine on ebay for less and it works well. Although I don't have any other foam cannons so I can't really compare

    Foam Cannon HP needs to be hooked up to a pressure washer. Used electric pressure washers can be had for cheap on craigslist, people buy them use it a few times then sell them.

    If you are thinking about the foam cannon from autogeek then consider the MTM Hydro unit from PWMall

    PWMall-14.0263-Professional Foam Lance w/ 34oz Bottle, Sprays Up To 20, Adjustable

    Looks familiar doesn't it? at a much lower price...

    Also the G-Clean Foam Blaster from home depot is about $20.

    Green Earth G-Foam Blaster for 4,000 psi Pressure Washers - AGPWF04 at The Home Depot

    There are two types of Foam Canons;

    1) Connects to pressure washer

    2) Connects to air compressor

    And an interior one as well is available that connects to the air compressor, normally called the Tornado

    I just can't see how spraying foam all over the interior is a good idea, regardless how much actually comes out.

    Can someone post a website or a link where I can buy the foam attachment to use with my air compressor? If I could get away without a pressure washer, that's the route I'll take for sure.

    Thanks for the help fellas!
