Yea it came with an extra fitting and the fitting wasn't a match with mine. I ordered it directly from the link so its my bad just assuming that it would work with all power washers.

Can't find anything at home depot or lowes as far as fittings? Maybe you could frankenstein one up? That bums me out man, I want that foam lance that is badass!
BTW, powerwasher on the cheap http://www.harborfreight.com/65-hp-...d-for-all-states-except-california-67546.html
It's not a honduh, but I hear good things about their motors and return policy

what fitting comes on the end of your washer and what fitting comes with the kit?
Im sure with a little google-fu or home depot fab you can make something work.
Check out ebay. I got a refurbed Karcher electric pressure washer for cheap. I've had it for a year now and have no problems.
So far i have not gotten a foam gun but this little trick may help u.
I take a bottle from my house window cleaner that hooks to a hose. Add some car wash soap (just soap) and hook it up and spray.. It suds pretty good but not near the amount of the foam gun. I do wanna try better soaps like what they use in the guns but aint got around to it yet.
So basically my steps.
Homemade foam to loosen dirt
Rinse dirt and suds off
Two bucket
Then dry..
Hope this helps..If any one see anything wrong with this please let me know. Iv e never seen this idea posted before . Was just watching some foam vids one day ,went out to smoke and seen the bottle and figured id give it a try.

Thanks for the suggestion. May just try this. :beer:
Which pressure washer are you using, and is it gas or electric? There's a very simple fix...you don't need a new pressure washer, you just need the correct fitting.

Mine is electric. I gave up already. This became more complicated than I expected. I sent the item back today and I won't bother with this again until next summer. I'm a plug and play type of guy and have very little patience for stuff like this that doesn't work out of the box. I'll just buy a better power washer next year and make sure ahead of time its compatible. Thanks though. :beer:
I hear ya, if you need any help in the future just let me know. :rolling:

It probably would have. lol Sorry man I'm just very impatient for some things.
EVERYONE needs this setup so they can get out of the stone ages with there car washing BS. This is by far the best way to wash your car... not to mention it is much faster. Use a microfiber mit to wash the car after the soap is sprayed on, then power wash off and dry... done.
my car is Sterling Grey by the way... the foam goes on so thick it will paint a black car white. ive had people pull over off the road and walk up to me while i was washing my car and ask what i was using LOL!!

Thanks. :beer:
My personal favorite is the Hawaiian Shine from GAP Auto Supplies, a local company. I never really cared about what soap I used before (mostly Autoglym), but my father had that one at the dealership... And it seems to bring a pop to the paint, I can't explain it... But I love it!
