Between D101 and D103, which 1 is considered high foaming?

I believe D103 is considered "low foaming"

D101 foams a lot.

I've never really found that to be the case, for example when I use it @10:1 to clean carpet matts with a scrub brush, there's so little foam that lathers up. I wish there was something that didn't seem so dry as far as suds, especially on upholstery.

I thought the same thing when I did my leather seat in my Chevy. They were so grimey that it took 3 passes and apply very liberally and it finally did foam and it did lift a ton of dirt.

There's no doubt it's a good cleaner, but I can't help but wonder how much better it would be if it actually was high sudsing and maybe more dirt would lift up into the foam. Instead of having to do repeated applications.

I agree, D101 and even D108 won't lather on grimey surfaces like vinyl or leather with a build up of nasty body oils or on tires when I want to remove nasty dressing. Overall, for being such hot chemicals, neither are very effective on surface with dressings or body oils like Optimum Power Clean is for me.

I think I may try mckees or PLC next though as I have heard lots of great on both.


Disclaimer...my math sucks so in my head that all makes perfect sense and it's a scary place there so take it with a grain of whatever you can handle
