I'm still testing my new foam gun ( trying different dilution ratio/soap/technique) but something came to my mind..


Usually, no-matter what the soap is, we put about a 1oz for a gallon in order to have enought lubricity but also not to strip the LSP. So, what happens when you put 2 oz in a 32 oz bottle ? isn't the foam on your car way too agressive for your LSP ?

I get better foam gun results with 1oz of Finish Kare 118 Super Concentrated Shampoo, car wash concentrate, auto shampoo, finish care car wash (http://www.autogeek.net/finish-kare-118-shampoo.html) than 2oz of DP. Even with our hard well water!Im the MAN

You're shooting a minimal amount of soap per gallon of water from your pressure washer. It takes me something like 6 minutes at "wide open" to drain my 32oz foamer of 3 oz of soap + 29 oz of water. With a 1.5 GPM pressure washer that's 9 gallons of water. Definitely not going to be stripping off the LSP at that ratio. Dial the knob even further back (more water, less soap mix) and you're ratio gets even thinner.
