Best foam gun mixtures

I really wish i was able to purchase the Elite Snow Foam but sense we cant here in the states. I was wondering what is everyone best mixture of different shampoos to get the most foam? So far the best i have done is 50/50 of DP Extreme and Meg NXT. Not as good as the snow foam but close. What mixes do you guys use???

you got a lot of foam form NXT? NXT always sucked for me...although I never tried the mixture you mentioned...
I like DP Xtreme foam, and Poorboy's SS&S (not SSW, it sucks in a foam gun)...another nice one was ## citrus wash-n-gloss...but is very harsh on a wax...
and by the way, about Elite Snow Foam, that car on a picture looks like it has been foamed with a foam cannon, not a foam gun...foam cannot will produce thicker foam.

PB SS&S and Meg's NXT suck in my foam cannon. The best Ive used are DP Xtreme and Citrus Wash n Gloss. Try mixing those two, 1 oz. each w/ 30 oz. of water.

I agree, I tried NXT by itself and it sucked but worked pretty good mixed. About literally 2 mins ago i order some ## Citrus wash and Gloss, i wanted to try it out with DP Xtreme foam. ill deff put on a coat of wax when im done. It says its wax safe but sense its a cleaner i dont see how that would work IMO. Thanks for your input.

I have had good results with the DG901 or even gold class. I fill to the bottom of the black line on the bottle and then fill the rest with hot tap water then shake. I get all the foam I need.

I've been adding a splash of NTS7 auto wash to my mixes to jack up the suds. Just went to the NTS7 page to link it to this post and it's gone.

What concentration do you do. I first tried 2oz soap to 6oz water as suggested on the DP soap package but i feel like i'm wasting soap. I might pick up some ## WG when i'm in florida over christmas break.
