Chemical Guys ACC_326 – TORQ Foam Blaster 6 Foam Wash Gun – The Ultimate Car Wash Foamer that Connects to Any Garden Hose

I wanted something better than a hose/bucket combo, but not as cumbersome as our pressure washer. In Las Vegas heat, you're melting after 9am and would like to be inside in AC by then. So let's just say, "It's a keeper." It's not nearly as good as our pressure washer but for doing one car quickly, it's more than enough. I gave it 5 stars because it's not supposed to replace a pressure washer but for one car in Las Vegas summer heat where you're trying to complete before the summer heat melts you, it works just fine. What you'll notice if you normally use a pressure washer is, the foam is not nearly as fine and the distance sprayed is maybe 4 feet. The hose spray nozzle is adequate but would benefit from an attachment to concentrate the water spray to remove soap. The equipment cleanup is quick and easy. It may even replace my pressure washer...at least in the summer sun.

Straight out of the box, the first Torq Foam Blaster 6 I purchased, leaked between the base of the black foaming wand and the green mixing head, as shown in some of the reviewer’s pictures. If yours does that, return it. I exchanged mine for another, received the replacement within 3 days, and it works perfectly, with absolutely no leaks anywhere. The device is made mostly of plastic, however the brass is actually brass, and not just aluminum sprayed with what appears to be a brass coating. Originally purchased for those quick in between car washes, I find myself reaching for it more often than not because it’s that quick, simple, and effective.I wanted to finally get rid of, so used the last of my Meguiars Gold Class soap, put the dial on 3, and this thing threw a surprising amount of suds with a soap not really designed to foam.I first rinsed, then foamed the entire car. As I washed, I could simply disconnect the container from spray nozzle, rinse vehicle, re-attach container to spray nozzle and cover entire vehicle (water causes water spots, not suds) a second time for the contact wash. It takes mere seconds to go from foaming to rinsing and back to foaming. I do saturate my mitt with suds, rinse and re-saturate said mitt for each panel, as well as re-foam each panel as I contact wash. Again, the design takes only seconds to remove and re-attach. The suds provide the lubricity to help minimize the inevitable micro-marring that comes with a contact wash. After two full passes, wash mitt saturation, and re-foaming each panel, I have just less than half a bottle of mixture left. Amazing! To be clear, this does not produce that thick shaving cream foam you get using a power washer and foam cannon; it produces SUDS. It’s good for loosening the topical contaminants, and after rinsing, the second and subsequent foaming provides lubricity for the contact wash. As for those with pictures of a broken foaming nozzle, and broken nozzle sprayer handle, c’mon man. If you’re applying enough force to break this sturdy plastic, you weren’t watching where you were planting your size 14 foot, or you’re doing it really really wrong. Even though I own a power washer and two very good foam cannons, the simplicity, ease of use, and effectiveness of this little jewel has me reaching for it time and time again. I haven’t had the o-ring blow out on me, but if it does, I’m prepared with a replacement. I can’t speak for the nylon quick connect that comes with the Torq, in that I use a brass quick connect with shutoff valve on hose end, and put a cheap orange big box store, aluminum brass colored male quick connect on spray nozzle, with absolutely no leaks. Caveat: The cheap quick connects wear out quickly. I can easily disconnect whole foam gun assembly, and replace it with your wife’s favorite 7 function spray nozzle. I’m very pleased with my purchase of the Chemical Guys Torq Foam Blaster 6.

I am happy with this product, it does produce a good foam that covers the car well, however, I feel like I probably should have bought the pressure washer cannon because I was expecting the foam to stay on the car longer. This one runs off pretty quick.

I just got the ceramic coating applied to my new truck and wanted something that would apply soap evenly and without too much waste. Set up on this is easy, just connect the adjustable spray nozzle to the garden hose, then use the snap fitting to connect that to the bottle and sprayer. Mostly fill the bottle with water and add your soap (note, it works better with soaps designed to foam). Then you can adjust the sprayer to foam the amount you want. You get a tight coverage that allows you to save on soap. Wash with a mitt or sponge then disconnect the bottle/sprayer and use the nozzle to rinse off.Construction is solid with a brass snap fit that connects the nozzle to the sprayer bottle. Sturdy polycarbonate bottle and plastic sprayer are well made. Pretty happy with it so far

Per the title I have saved a ton in soap, because before I was a two bucket washer. One for soap, one to rinse and clean the mitt. I have an F150 and a Camry and even with a dirty F150 one canister was all I used. About 3 oz of soap. Before the foam cannon I easily used double that amount using the ol bucket mitt and mitt rinse bucket method. This cannon wastes zero soap and uses half the amount as mentioned before. The detachable nozzle gives you a great spray pattern for rinsing too.The clear canister seems flimsy, so take care not to drop it on concrete. The rest of it seems hardy enough. I would also add that the foam, combined with filling the canister with warm water saves a lot of time in washing. The warm foam quickly lifts dirt so I can be slightly more careless with a mitt and the entire vehicle is clean. No more missed spots which is cool. That’s with using a quality soap, and I only use chemical guys car care liquids. Except for the turtle wax “wax as you dry” stuff. That’s a great product as well.Considering the amount of times I wash my vehicles, if it lasts two years I will be happy. I would absolutely buy another one. I wash them both at least twice a month because of the lousy trees in my yard and the birds in them crapping out stuff onto them.
