Raining Foam Effect for SoftGloss

[DiamondWash]

I am considering installing a new foaming feature to my Ryko Softgloss for the Total Car Protectant cycle, but most companies offer this feature using a foaming curtain style, I see Mr Foamer built one with the Rainbar effect which seems to be more controlled, what are your thoughts?

I think you should try the rain bar over the curtain. I think it is easier to achieve more consistent results and better coverage with less product. Put a strobing LED on it to get this effect:

Am I the only one puzzled by the Saber's arms swinging through the foam application?

I agree. You would think they could program the arms to be rotated to the sides before the chemical starts.

Adding a foaminator to my M5 has been on my to do list all year. In the one video, he says they are running three 2.5 gpm injectors to feed it. I am assuming that is because it has three foam generators. My issue is that I don’t want to run three separate hoses to the bridge. Do you think I could use one larger injector like a dark green 5.5gpm injector, run one hose and just split it out at the bridge to the three generators? Anyone experiment with one like this?

A Mr Foamer Rep recommended Rainbar style on IBAs. I have heard the tray style can slosh around a bit, but I have no experience.

I actually liied the Softgloss style the best (tray). I think Foaminator came out with a new SS design...?
