Gen 2 Electric Foam Sprayer

$79.98 $109.98 10% off with our link

A budget-friendly electric foam sprayer that makes quick foam jobs easier without hand-pumping or dragging out the full pressure washer setup. Best for wheels, bugs, door jambs, lower panels, and starter detailing setups.

Why We Like It: Good for quick foam jobs where pulling out the full pressure washer is more setup than it's worth. Works on wheels, bugs, door jambs, lower panels, and beginner setups. Cordless, USB-C rechargeable, one-button spray. It's not replacing a pressure washer foam cannon — it's filling the gap when you don't need one.
Key Features
Cordless USB-C Charging 2000mAh Battery Up to 60 Min Spray 2.5 Bar Output 3 Nozzle Options Transparent Tank 1-Button Spray Lightweight

Headlight Restoration

Headlight Restoration

The exact kit and supplies we use to restore cloudy and oxidized headlights. The complete 3M kit is the easiest option when getting started, while purchasing the sanding materials and protective coating separately can lower your cost per vehicle when offering the service regularly.

Process Guide

How We Restore Cloudy Headlights

See the complete hand-sanding process we used, including the 500, 800, and 3000 grit stages, how we check for an evenly frosted finish, and when to apply the protective coating.
