Round 1

foamed the mustang, 2 caps rest of the quart filled with warm water (cg wash+gloss)
however I'd like to figure out how to get "foamier foam" that also sticks better and please do not recommend a foam cannon, its not an option right now.

1cap for 5+gallons cg wash +gloss performed incredibly, best soap I've ever used :xyxthumbs::dblthumb2::props:

Sonax, the most overrated product I've used to date, mothers and cg diablo sticky gel blew this away for a fraction of the cost and more versatile and no odor / good odors, sonax smells terrible and performed mediocre at best for me..

diablo gel 1:3 worked well with agitation, I think it would be much better with a better foaming nozzle, which cg didn't supply..

ferret performed well for what it is, rinsed very easily as well
the wheel brush was good as well
my tirescrubber is great for what it does as always
lugnut brush was too big for my lugs
fenderwell brush does its job, nothing impressive
mothers wheel+tire, really impressed me, incredible product..

this one was with no agitation used after initial foaming (others were all agitated eventually)

tried out cg synthetic qd and clay lubricant, thumbs down on this one, hopefully Luber can redeem cg on this one, terrible streaking.
Round 2
Round 2
Things came up yesterday, so was unable to finish claying, overnight it rained and a lot of junk decided to settle on the mustang, so I saw this as a great opportunity to try a higher concentration in the foam gun although I'm worried that with this soap I'd be stripping lsp if there was any I was worried about on the car, anyway here is a short clip of my cg foam gun in action with cg wash+gloss 4-5 caps in the quart with warm water, no settings to use, blue filter (recommended as most common)

Overall I'm happy with it, its a cool cheap product 60 shipped for a foamgun w/ 3 soaps, I wish I could get the foam to dwell longer, hopefully I'll figure out a good soap/ratio combo

Finished claying the car, I will say the cg qd/lube slightly redeemed itself when mixed with standing water on the vehicle, i also wasn't worried about streaking this time, I just left it because I wasn't going to have the time to wax today nor did I really want to, I'm going to go with blacklight topped with buttery for this round

http://i857.photobucket.com/albums/ab134/Elias101a/Drews%20Detailing/7537f864.jpg
once the cg lube was depleted switched to a bottle of megs qd I had, performed better than the CG lube and wasn't impressed by this, but it did what it was supposed to, decent product but I'm looking for better
More reviews coming tomorrow (more than likely)
