    Re: DFB's Soapy Notes

    I was hoping to be able to edit the original post with new additions to my collection as they arrive. That doesn't seem possible, so I will have to make separate posts for new soaps.

    As I outlined in a previous post, I don't use the two-bucket method. Instead, I use the foam cannon to apply soap directly to the paint. I then have one singular "rinse" bucket to which I add a slug...

    I think the Adam's soaps come close to that ratio of price vs performance. Car Shampoo (blue), Mega Foam (red) and Ultra Foam (purple) are really nice soaps and all good foamers with great slickness,...
