I'd like to get a foam gun to wash my car with but I don't have a power washer.  Just a garden hose.  But both have a smaller quick disconnect fitting rather than the screw on type for a normal garden hose.  For those that use a foam gun...which of these two is better?

Also, due to the quick disconnect fitting, what adapter/fitting do I need to make either gun work with a normal garden hose?

Thanks

the first one is for regular water hose.
the fitting on bottom should unscrew and you can attach water hose.
second one is for pressure washer.

I was wondering that...if the fitting unscrewed on the first one.  

Cool, thanks.

This is one I use for the last 10 years. It works great. http://www.autogeek.net/auqufofogun.html make sure you get the high foam car wash. The chemical guys or autogeek brand work well. I believe they have the chemical guys soap on amazon along with a comparable sprayer.

I got a $15 foam cannon from Amazon (works GREAT) the soap is fairly important I suppose, Meguiars works fine, Just use warm water and Add the soap, Hell even Dawn Detergent works fine in the things. The foam CANNON is used with a pressure washer, the Foam GUN is used with a garden hose.
You may well be better off getting buckets and mitts and grit guards and take them to the coin op and use their high pressure water and your own soap and accessories. and perhaps their spot free rinse. I made my own Spot Free Rinse system, and use a pressure washer and a foam cannon, two bucket system to wash.
