Chemical GuysACC_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

In all fairness of this review I've only used twice now. However, the biggest issue was that after 1 use it leaked/ sprayed like crazy out of the brass quick connect feature that connects the hose nozzle to the soap dispenser.I emailed chemical guys explaining the issue....no response. I called chemical guys and got someone on the phone who seemed oblivious to the issue, which is odd considering all the complaints on here regarding the same leaking issue. Anyways, she asked me to email videos of the leak so they could pinpoint the issue. I did and over a week has passed with no response.After researching, I found out there was supposed to be an O-ring inside the hose nozzle. It beds in a little groove in there and seals up the connection. Problem is, when it's disconnected & youre using the hose nozzle to rinse, it's apparently fairly easy to blow out that o-ring, causing leaking. So why a $50 foam gun doesn't come with some back up o-rings that cost pennies or at least a description of what size o-ring you need is beyond me. Why chemical guys, a company of which I've used their products religiously for years now, can't seem to easily respond to the issue is also beyond me.Anyways, after trying a number of o-rings out I found out the one that works. You'll need o-ring size 3/4" ID, 7/8" OD, 1/16" Width. I purchased these ones on amazon; got a 100 pack so that should last a while. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FMWM5E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Besides that, gun has worked fine for me so far. The key is to add a few ounces of soap to the container & then top it off with warm water. This is what their how to videos say. By doing this, the soap is plenty foamy & is more than enough for a car wash. I suspect those complaining about limited foam or the soap being used up to quickly are not adding the water (or are using cheap soap or have the dial set too low).Hope this helps.
