Car cleaning guns are essential tools in auto detailing, helping professionals and car owners achieve deep cleaning results for both interior and exterior surfaces. To get the most out of your car wash cleaning gun, it’s important to understand its main parts and functions.

At BrilliaTech Factory, we specialize in manufacturing SGS, ISO, BSCI certified cleaning guns, ensuring high durability and performance for global auto detailing markets.

A typical cleaning gun used for car washing and detailing consists of several key parts and components that work together to deliver effective cleaning performance. Here are the main parts you'll find in a cleaning gun for car washing:

Gun Body:
- The main housing that contains the internal components and provides the grip for handling the cleaning gun.
Trigger Mechanism:
- The trigger allows the user to control the flow of water or cleaning solution from the gun. Squeezing the trigger releases the pressurized water or solution.
Nozzle:
- The nozzle is the outlet through which the pressurized water or cleaning solution exits the gun. It determines the spray pattern and intensity of the water stream.
Air Inlet:
- In pneumatic cleaning guns, there is an air inlet where compressed air is connected from an external air compressor. This air provides the pressure necessary to atomize the cleaning solution and create the spray.
Solution Reservoir:
- Some cleaning guns have a built-in reservoir or canister where cleaning solution or detergent is stored. This solution mixes with the pressurized air and water to enhance cleaning effectiveness.
Solution Control Valve:
- A valve or dial mechanism controls the flow rate of the cleaning solution mixed with water. This allows users to adjust the concentration of cleaning solution depending on the cleaning task.
Filter:
- The filter is often located near the inlet to prevent debris or particles from entering and potentially clogging the internal components of the cleaning gun.
O-Rings and Seals:
- O-rings and seals are used throughout the gun to create watertight connections and prevent leaks. They are crucial for maintaining proper functionality and preventing air or water leakage.
Handle and Grip:
- The handle provides a comfortable grip for the user to hold and maneuver the cleaning gun during use. It may feature ergonomic designs to reduce fatigue during extended use.
Air Pressure Gauge (Optional):
- In some advanced cleaning guns, especially those used with pneumatic systems, there may be an air pressure gauge to monitor and adjust the air pressure supplied to the gun.

Additional Components in Advanced Models:

Adjustable Spray Patterns: Some cleaning guns offer adjustable nozzles or spray patterns to tailor the water stream for different cleaning tasks (e.g., wide spray for rinsing or focused stream for stubborn stains).
Quick-Disconnect Fittings: These fittings allow for easy and quick connection to air compressors and water hoses, facilitating efficient setup and use.
Variable Flow Controls: Advanced models may feature variable flow controls for precise adjustment of water and solution flow rates.

Understanding these parts helps in effectively using and maintaining a cleaning gun for car washing and detailing tasks. Regular cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and proper storage contribute to prolonging the lifespan and maintaining the performance of the cleaning gun.
