What do you use for a dilution ratio with your soap cannon? Dummy me was using no dilution at all and realized this probably wasn't right.

Depends on the soap. I usually use about 1-2oz and warm water with CarPro Reset and Chemical Guys Honeydew Snow Foam.

So about a 10:1 ratio. I'm using Optimum Car Wash right now, but I'm always trying something new. At a 10:1 ratio though my current gallon will last me for years.

how were the suds at full concentration? were you shooting walls of foam?

It depended on how the cannon was adjusted. I actually am getting just as much foam using diluted soap and a different cannon adjustment. With full strength and the cannon knob turned a half turn from full CCW I could certainly get a mountain of foam. You couldn't even tell what kind of car it was!

2-3 ounces of car wash and then the rest with warm water...

Negative. I should have said "or Honeydew" instead of "and"...
