Honestly though, the results still look similar to maxisuds ii to me. Foaming really depends on a good high psi and gpm pressure washer, as well as soap.
It looks really similar to this, and the guy in this video is using maxi suds |

Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. | suggestions???? | |

Foaming really depends on a good high psi and gpm pressure washer, as well as soap. | Foaming depends primarily on the soap and dilution used in soap reservoir. If you have a least 1500 psi pressure wasger you should be able to generate whatever foam consistency you desire.

Isn't foaming a car like in the CG video without rinsing off the foam before washing defeating the point? All that foam on the car is a great show, but I always thought the point was to: foam dry car, let foam dwell, then pressure rinse off foam (and all the dirt possible with it), AND then wash via a 2BM. If your going to use the foamer as a soap source, why put soap in a bucket? You mean, that guy thought that car needed more soap to get the job done? If you were going to use one bucket only that way, wouldn't you just use water as a rinse bucket for your mitt?
Chemical Guys is completely baffling to me. But their soap is always awesome, as are most of their products.

Still, I think the idea of the foam is to lift up the dirt, so that when you go over it with the wash mitt, there's like no chance of any scratching. Just an extra safe measure.

DP extreme foam with the foam cannon and my 2500psi P/W...WOW...I mean its so think even diluted, I have to rinse of the vehicle after 15minutes, because the stuff stays on the paint.
Only problem, don't let it touch your skin, because it will dry that area right out. My hands used to turn grey and dry. Now i use gloves.

Claude | Yeah, I believe it's taking the oils out of your skin. Always best to wear gloves when in doubt  | |
