    What soap do you use in your foam cannons?

    Hey everyone...so I bought a foam cannon on saturday and am extremely excited to try it out! I'm sick of using wash soaps that are supposed to be sudsy and aren't. I know that they still get the car clean, but the car never feels clean to me unless I see suds haha. Anyway, I'll be like a kid in a candy store when it comes Tuesday...BUT first, I need to know, what do you guys put in your foam cannons? And what about the ratio of soap-water. Thanks!

    I dont have a foam cannon, only a foam gun. Definately not as many suds or foam, that said I am using "Detailer's Xtreme Foam Formula Auto Shampoo" got it when I purchased the foam gun. Creates good suds and foam. With a foam cannon am sure you will be pleased!

    HoneyDew snow foam. That has always been the best for me. I have used that and Detailers pro Xtreme and CG Wash And Glass, Honeydew blows them away and it smells awesome.

    I've used Detailer's Xtreme Foam Formula Auto Shampoo and Zep's Blue Max in my foam cannon. Both provide a nice dense foam.

    I've only tried Meg's gold class and optimum car soap so far . both do pretty well IMO . 2oz of soap rest of container with warm water , in a mtm . I'm still experimenting though yet with soaps and ratios . got maxi suds to try yet .

    I've used DP Extreme Foam prior to using Chemical Guys Maxi Suds II. I LOVE the Maxi Suds II. Works better and is cheaper than the DP Extreme Foam. I got a gallon of that stuff and use it every time I wash my car.

    Here's what I've tried: Prima Mystique, Sonax Gloss Shampoo, DP Extreme Foam, BMW Car Shampoo, CG HoneyDew Foam, CG Citrus Wash and Gloss, CG Glossworkz.
    What worked the best? The CG HoneyDew Foam or the Citrus Wash and Gloss. The former by a little bit.
