    They are the same, just different labeling. Well worth getting imo, great for soaking the gritt and dirt on the car so its easyer to get it of when hosing/HP washing your car

    DP extrem soap is great in the Foam Gun (its made for the foam gun infact), but you can also use Poorboys SS&S and Duragloss 901 with lots of foam. All soaps for car washing can be used, but some isnt foamy enought and doesnt suit the gun well

    I have used the Poorboys SS&S and DP Extreme and like them both. I would just add that its fun as well.

    They come with some DP Extreme Foam, so you will be able to try that as well.

    I just bought the foam gun and a 32oz bottle of DP Extreme. Hoping it helps speed up the car washing process. Anything to save some time but still get good results.

    You're gonna love this combo. I've used my foam gun with several different shampoos and found that DP Xtreme is by far the best for me. It foams like crazy!

    Others can correct me if I am wrong but I don't think it speeds up cleaning the car. I think it's main purpure is to prewash so that you reduce the chance of creating swirl marks. So actually it adds a small step. Do others find it speeds up the process for them?

    You can use the foam gun to pre-soak the car which makes it easier to wash and reduce swirling. You can also use the gun in one hand and wash with the other. You should still rinse your mitt as you wash sections but it does seem to go a little faster this way. Hope this helps.
