    Looking for a cheap soap for my hose-end foam cannister

    So I dont have a pressure washer, and I have a Gilmour 75QGFMR which works for me. I usually only use it when I have heavy dirt or the truck is just well dirtyyyy. I noticed the more soap I use in the canister the more thick heavy foam I get. I dont want to waster the DG901 that I use as its just will end up on the ground. Is there a CHEAP soap that will work in line with DG901 that I can fill the canister up 100% with? I dont want something cheap that doesnt work well, thats why Im here picking the minds of y'all.

    Thanks.

    hyper wash for sure

    i use about 2oz per wash, which would yield 64 washes, and a gallon cost me 18 bucks.

    How much car wash to you put in your Gilmour? And how much water?

    Half my job is just remembering where stuff is on the forum...

    For example, couple people recommend Meguiar's Hyper-Wash. How about some pictures of it in action?



    Meguiar's Big Rig Extreme Makeover - Pictures & Videos!






    Here's Frank laying down a rich, thick layer of foam using the Meguiar's Hyper Wash....










    Andy and I will follow using Boar's Hair Brushes on extension handles extended as far as they will go!









    Andy went down the truck washing the top half and I followed him washing the bottom half. No pictures of the bottom half getting washed as I had to put the camera down.

    Mike your ability to bring up personal examples, with detailed instructions/pics/vids that relates to a specific question is uncanny! You have the detailers version of Encyclopaedia Britannica in your head!

    Thanks. Most of the time the info I brind up is stuff I created so it's just a matter of remembering where it's at or the right key words do use do do a search to locate it.

    It is true that over my life I tend to lock into my memory anything detailing related but when it comes to someone's birthday I'm a regular guy.
