Best foaming soap.

[DRT BRD]

Just purchased a foamer and was wondering what everyone is using as their foam soap?

I've read a couple of reviews online but would like to get the opinions and real life experiences from folks on here.

It should be here today but I can wait a few days. I currently have Hyper Soap and Shampoo plus.

Any suggestions?

Super soap foams a lot.

Here's an old thread that talks about the same topic: glimour foam gun.. what soap for most suds?

Don't ever put gold class or ultimate wash and wax in the foam gun. It's a waste and it doesn't foam well.

Hope this helps.

The Super Soap seems like the one most designed for it.

Re: Best foaming soap.

Based on the various products I've tried in the foam gun, I would rate Super Soap first followed by Hyperwash as a close second and Shampoo Plus as a distant third in terms of foaming ability. As Marc08EX said, don't bother with Gold Class or Ultimate Wash & Wax as you will be disappointed.

If you're look at it from an economy of use perspective then Hyperwash would come out on top as its 400:1 dilution ratio means it goes a fair bit further than Super Soap and Shampoo Plus (both 128:1).

I should add that I use the #62, but lots of foam isnt my main concern.

Super Soap is the only soap we make specifically formulated for use in a low pressure spray such as the Gilmour foam gun and similar.

Don't ever put gold class or ultimate wash and wax in the foam gun. It's a waste and it doesn't foam well.

We've found Gold Class to actually foam reasonably well, but UW&W was a huge surprise in the foam gun; it generates crazy suds in a bucket so we thought in a foam gun it would be crazy...... but it's not. Still, UW&W in a foam gun probably gets the most out of the wax protection contained in it since you're usually getting a longer dwell time with a foam gun dispensed soap.

Thank you sir! I had some Hyper soap but I'm going to swing by the warehouse today and pick some up Super Soap along with a few more essentials that I'm running low on in Gallon form! I just got the Gilmore foam gun so I'm excited to play around with it tonight!

Re: Best foaming soap.

Speaking of Super Soap, is it being discontinued or is it simply not popular? Meg's Direct and AG do not have it, but ADS still does.

Re: Best foaming soap.

I believe it is a limited distribution item.

Re: Best foaming soap.

I just picked some up today at my local distributor. Going to test out the foamer tonight on the Cadiliac.

I have used a bunch of Meg's soaps and like Shampoo plus the best.

For a foam gun, super soap.

Hi what about NXT car wash does it foam well?

Reviving an old thread - I don't see Super Soap in the 2012 Catalog. Is it curtains for this one?
