Dont want to make a new thread, and i guess my question applies to this one...
Anyone know anywhere i can buy a foam cannon/gun locally that can be used with a garden hose?
Looking for something similar to this one in the link.
Would rather buy local than order online due to exchange rate. Chemical Guys ACC326 Foam Blaster 6 Foam Wash GUN | eBay | |

BTW: Does anyone have a recommendation for a cheap but decent paint thickness gauge?
thanks,

As long as the combo works for you, stick with it =)
I have a collection of different chemical because I work on a variety of vehicles , so I need to try out different solution and pick the one that works for me.

Everything Car Care in Coquitlam has the ones that hook up to the pressure washer but not the garden hose... I have the Gilmour foam gun (garden hose) and bought it off Amazon a while ago. I recall Lee Valley carrying Gilmour stuff so maybe they would be able to order one in for you. If not Amazon Canada has them. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000...PJG3HF5Y76TJ8Y | |

I forgot about Adam's foam gun. I've heard really good things about it. There also happens to be a Adams rep here in Vancouver. If I recall it was quite expensive here... like $120+...

Thanks Jordan ,
This coating has a longer cure time in comparison to the major brands such as Cquartz & O.C.
However it is only rated as 8H hardness as per manufacturer . I layered 2 x coats of CAMUI X4 today on top of the Cquartz which was installed last year.
Will keep you guys updated about the water repellent ability once is it cured properly.   | |

Here is a review after the ceramic coating - Camui being applied to my vehicle 10 days ago.
The tight pattern of water beading is expected , just like the other ceramic coating.
The shine of the vehicle remains the same and water slides off the car very easily, leaving no water mark on the paint after the vehicle is parked in the garage for a night.
Front and Rear windshields are coated as well and wipers are not required during slight to moderate rainfall as the water will just slide off the windshield. (* not recommend by manufacturer due to liability issue )
Will monitor the durability of the coating on this vehicle.

Did a Wash & Wax package on this 04 WRX STI today and restored the shine of this vehicle successfully.
The choice of LSP are Poorboys sealant layered with Zymol CONCOURS glaze (47% carnauba) which provides better protection from the outdoor elements and paint corrosion.
Once again, no job is done until tyres are dressed , rims are waxed and exhaust is polished.     
Enjoy !

Did a 1 stage polish on this 2015 VW TSI and further protected the vehicle with Cquartz.
No job is done until windows are polished, rims are waxed & tyres are dressed. 
Before & After 
Before 
After 1 stage polish

It had been another successfully day as we performed a light polish on this brand new 2015 e55 and further protected it with Cquartz ceramic coating.
The vehicle was originally foam cannoned and hand washed. After that, it was clay clothed to remove embedded dirt and a light spot polish was performed to remove an obvious scratch on the paint.
The vehicle was then wiped down with IPA and Cquartz was applied to enhance the wetness appearance of this vehicle.
Enjoy

Apparently It has filler to cover the swirls and it serves as a semi permanent coating at the same time.
I will wait and see some feedback from other users first. Gona stick to my Cquartz & other coating for now lol.
