I was wondering what you all do if you dont have a foam gun/cannon available to prep your car with. How do you go about foaming the car? Do you even do it?

I use the four Bucket Method with either DP or Meg's Gold Class.

Rinse the vehicle thoroughly, then use a bucket for your soap/water mixture. Use your sponge mitt to scrub the entire vehicle, and then rinse. Most of us who use a foam cannon still use a regular soap/water bucket to clean the mitt after one area of the vehicle has been scrubbed.

two bucket ... one soap and one rinse. Dump rinse at 1/2 way point and refill. Keep mitt on car and never on ground. Old school for 'sure.

Haha, exactly. Okay, that sounds good. I wasnt sure if you all had some magic way you pre foamed the car.

you gotta upgrade. And not even to a foam gun, but to a foam cannon...Once you try it, you won't go back.

what keeps you waiting? Pick up Karcher pressure washer (you need that for foam cannon to work) and foam cannon. Foam cannon is around $75 USD shipped from UK (polishedbliss). I love it! Thick shaving cream!

It should work very well. I used Citrus Wash Clear (Chemical Guys) in a foam cannon, Optimum, and HyperWash. Haven't got a chance to try out DG #902 in it yet, but I will!!!

you might need a special adapter for this, I'm not sure which one...
You have different options of soap. I like Citrus Wash Clear (chemical guys), Optimum, Duragloss #901/902. DP Xtreme foam formula however works the best, it's shaving cream!!!
