I have a sample. Do I use a full bucket of water then pour it in or use less water?

Since you only have a small sample, put it all into the wash bucket. Do you have a foam gun?

No. I have a 5 gallon bucket.

2 oz. of DP with 6-8 oz. of water for the foam gun. 2-3 oz. of DP with 5 gallons of water.

This is what it says on the site. I guess it doesnt necessarily say to use 5 gallons of water, sorry.

Wash Bucket

1. Pour 2-3 ounces of DP Xtreme into a 5 gallon wash bucket, such as the Pinnacle Complete Wash System. Activate foam with a strong jet of water.
2. Wash the vehicle as directed above. Rinse and towel dry.

Jen, you probably are thinking about using it with a foamgun, I haven't used it in a bucket, but I am sure it foams up like crazy!!

Well, not bad. Foams like crazy. Liked it better than Pinnacles auto wash. Smells like mint toothpaste. In a good way:).
Now I also like Gold class of which I have 1/2 gallon left. Need to use it up first.
Over all DP is pretty good.

HMMMM interesting. I always thought 1-2 ounces of soap to 1 gallon of water was standard. I'm glad to be wrong. that means the soap will last even longer. I used it in a bucket as well as in my foam gun. 2 ounces to 1 gallon and it foamed like mad! I love the soap. Smells like Wrigley's Spearmint Gum. :)

I always use 1-1.5 oz of soap, then jet fill bucket with about 1 gallon of water. This creates a lot of foam, so I have 1 gallon of wash solution and 4 gallons of foam.
