Foam Gun

[jfsully]

Just purchased foam gun. I am curious if there are any additional secrets to getting huge amounts of foam.

Also the sample bottle of DP, is that a 2 ounce bottle for measurement.

I used the PB with wax the first time and it foamed great...the DP did not foam as much?

Do you like the PB ssw because I just got some and having got to use it yet? On my next order I will be getting the foam gun and I am glad to hear that the soap I have does foam up good. Mike...

Yes the sample is 2 ounces. How much water did you add to the sample and at what setting did you place the foam gun? It also helps if you shake it up a little bit to mix the soap and the water, this will ensure more foam as well. The DP soap should give you lots and lots of foam.

used about 6 ounces water and middle setting on gun. I did shake also?

(And why the Golden Earring song?)

Ah okay. Yeah you should have it on the last setting on the gun for the best foam.

As for Radar Love, I just like the song. That's reason enough for me.

Poorboys Suds, DP Xtreme Foam, and Duragloss will all have you in foam delight rather quickly.

I used a sharpie to draw a line on my foam gun container to show 1 oz, 2 oz, ec. so I can know how much to fill it. I usually put in 2 oz of soap and 3 oz of water, then shake it up well. I put the flow on the second to the last setting and it works well.

If anyone has a better ratio, please chime in!

I have used the DP foam soap and Meg's GC. Both produce lots of foam.

So I'm thinking about getting a foam gun.

Do you use it all the time or just when the car is very dirty
We have a lot of snow/dirt/mud/road salt so by the time it is warm enough to wash the cars are very dirty.

I use mine every wash, except when it's cold and then I use the DP 4 in 1 rinseless wash and the two bucket method.

We have been very cold for a week and next week the temps will be warm if they get to the teen's.
