Going to try out a Foamaster gun and am looking for shampoo that will put out enough foam when hooked up to a garden hose with decent pressure. Anything more economical then the next? Thanks

I used Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam and obtained pretty good results. I don't have the softest water but was able to get some decent suds laid down. I think I mixed it at 1.5 ounces per container.

This is the best I've tried also. I've tried about 20 different shampoos.

I think you mean Maxi Suds II.
And I agree, very good soap for a foam gun and very economical!

DP Extreme Foam works great.
Megs hyper wash is good also if you are looking for a gallon size.

I have used Optimum Car Wash at 10:1 in the bottle and got nice foaming with my Griot's foam gun.

is a foam gun/lance only good if you have a pressure washer and are doing multiple cars? or can you get a gilmour foammaster II and attach it to your hose and only use it to wash one car? you still used the TBM after letting the soap dwell for 3-5 mins right?
Advantage of foam gun?

There area many different answers. However, I think its generally accepted that you foam and rinse the car first before a 2BM to remove as much grit and abrasive dirt as possible.
I foam the car dry. I found rinsing, foaming, than rinsing is a waste of time. You could also do a 1BM and just use foam as your wash media and a rinse bucket. I've tried that, and it didn't seem much easier.
