Best shampoo to use with pressure washer foam gun?

[hacker-pschorr]

Anyone recommend the "best" shampoo to use in a foam gun?

I've read some "foam up and stick" better than others. I'm due for an ADS order anyway......

Time to try the Nanoskin Autoscrub people are talking about.

What kind of foam gun do you have? I have the MTM Hydro Foam lance and I just use Meguiar's Gold Class shampoo and conditioner. It works great with the foam lance and works even better when you fill the bottle up with warm water.

I've been using this from HD since I didn't want to spend a ton of money before I was sure I would use "this method" a lot:

Works rather well, but I just ordered this one:

I figured any shampoo would work (been using the wash & wax since I ran out of Gold Class). I was just wondering what others were using.

I cannot find Super Soap in stock anywhere......thinking of trying M62

Well the new foam lance you just ordered is the one I use. The MTM Hydro. It foams really well. Like I said before as long as you use some warm water with the soap it should foam really nice. You can see a video of it on youtube with the gold class shampoo. Here is the link. The music ***** but you can mute it. In the video it looks like he is using a lot more soap than I do. I only put about an inch and a half of soap and the rest is warm water. I can make the gold class look like shaving cream when I spray it.

I have MTM too. works great. I have paired it with almost all chemical guys soaps, meguiars, dodo, autoglym, and a few others. They all pretty much work the exact same. Just watch your dilutions and temps. This is probably the biggest factor to look out for rather than soap. Can't complain about any of the soaps. Just try what you like.

Just try what you like.

That's part of the problem, I've been using nothing but Gold Class for so long, time to try some new stuff!! I was going to buy Super Soap too, but I can only find 5-gallons sizes.

I figured the water spot remover would be good for the travel bag.
