can you repeat that first bit, didnt understand.
you can use any shampoo in the foam gun. its the snow foam that gives it the foam effect which also cleans aswell. youll also notice that you will use you suds quickly and then want something cheaper. lol

the gilmors are very good, there just an attachemen for the hosepipe if you dont really want to buy a pressure washer, does the same job tbh
pressure washers arent that expensive nowadays, and im sure someone on here can help you as they deal in karcher products, try a search

i have both gilmor and foam lance for me prssure washer but the fact that the gimor is much more easier to set up is why i use it
you and me know who is the best cleaning whore
the foam is to lift dirt and carry i down the car, put the foam on and leave it for a good 5 minutes, washi it off then re-apply the foam using a wash mitt and just one bucket (gilmor/lance kind of eliminates the 2 bucket method) as bullit said its to minimze the chances of creating swirl marks in the paint further
