I had ordered this from AG during one of the recent sales.
It was above 50 F today, so did a quick wash of the truck using the DP Power Wash Wash and Wax.
Usage notes:
Scent - Bubble Gum
Color/Consistency - Bluish thick gel
Bucket Dilution used - 1.5 ounces in 3 gallons (label states 2 to 3 ounces per 5 gallons)
Lubricity - Very good to excellent
Cleaning - Very good although truck was not very dirty
Foaming using Griot's foam gun- Good at 1.5 ounces in 16 ounces (1:10) dilution in Griot's foam gun (2 ounces for 6 to 8 ounces water). It produced a frothy foam
Foaming in foam cannon- no evaluated
Rinsing - very good
Drying - No problems
Gloss enhancing - Yes.
Summary:
At the 1:10 dilution in my Griot's, it generated an airy frothy foam and spread well (wet the surface) over the paint (rather than drip in streaks). It did not have a lot of stickiness to paint to dwell for very long. I am sure at the recommended dilution it would obviously produce more suds.
I really did not evaluate cleaning since the truck was not that dirty. The suds on the ground were longer lasting than many soaps but they did subside in the bucket.
My method is to rinse, foam, then wash without rinsing the foam first as a protection layer.
Overall, it is nice soap. It is slick and very easy to rinse. For best foaming you need to use the dilutions recommended by DP compared to some other soaps (Optimum, Adam's).
