Foam Master for a Pre-soak

Over the weekend, I was watching OG's video on Youtube about his new portable powerwasher, when I saw a link to other videos for foaming your car. I watched a couple, and there were videos of soap injectors with powerwashers and garden hoses. The ones hooked up to powerwashers put on this super thick foam which should be good for a pre-soak.

Anyone using either one of these things on their Minis?

try karcher 1500 psi + cam spray foamer for $200... you'll need 2 adapters to go between the karcher gun and cam spray foamer. the setup works very well especially if you don't have good water pressure at home....

but i find that regular hose/pressure does a better job in rinsing down the car than power washer simply due to the amoung of water...
