Blackfire foam booster

I was given the chance to evaluate a beta version of the foam booster a few months back - and let me be the first to confirm, this stuff really does boost any soap foaming abilities!

Check out this cling!

What struck me is this booster will be great for winter washes when pre-soaking using my foam cannon. Given we can't have TFR's stateside - I love the idea of adding this to a citrus-based soap (ie CG Wash & Gloss) to help boost the soap's cling time and break down traffic film/ road salt during winter months. Such a combo could be a real home run for us Northern's.​

I'm looking forward to trying out the official version :)

This product not really needed, but looks like fun. HW foams up good in my gun, but I would love to see the results with the booster.

This product is for anyone who want to use a foam gun, but don't want to lose the ability to use their favorite soap.
E.G. I like using the Wolfgang Auto Bathe but it isnt the best foaming soap for the foam gun..the booster will help this out!

Here is straight from the website what it does

BLACKFIRE Foam Booster is a uniquely specialized formula that, when added to any car wash soap will instantly transform it into a foaming car wash! Using a highly concentrated blend of lubricating agents and advanced polymers, BLACKFIRE Foam Booster enhances the cleaning power of your car soap for an overall safer washing experience. Foam is what makes the car wash perform and with BLACKFIRE Foam Booster, you’ll never experience a foam shortage again!

BLACKFIRE Foam Booster is not a car wash in itself. It is simply a foaming agent that will enhance the car wash that it’s added to! Even if the car wash you already have sitting in your garage isn’t a “foaming” wash, after a quick doctoring with BLACKFIRE Foam Booster, it will be!
 
Intrigued. anyone knows what's the dilution ratio of this booster? for example, how many oz of booster should I be adding to a regular 32oz foam cannon bottle (containing soap)

That does look quite thick and rich, very nice. My only question is, does it have silicons, gloss enhancers, or anything that stays behind?

So I would add 2 - 2.5 ounces of booster to a gallon of straight wolfgang auto bath correct? How would I mix that?

This says add 2 oz to my 128 oz shampoo bottle. That would be the bottle it came in. It doesnt say anything about the soap being diluted?

I agree. The directions clearly seem to state 1 thing, but the representatives state another.. How can this be?

Does anyone truly know how to use this product? An official video would be good.

When you use a foam gun you put in a ratio of water and soap that is recommended by the manufacturer, then you will add the foam soap

After adding to it, shaking it or mixing it as best as one can is recommended.

IMO: because “foam” doesn’t clean.



Or...a bottle of Cocoamide DEA (or
similar chemicals)?

Nah, cocoamide DEA is a carcinogen. Based on the eye warnings, I bet it is sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). Also, SLES is cheap. You can buy quarts for $5 to make your own bath bombs and children's shampoo.

Nah...
The FDA has not established a link
between DEA and/or DEA-related
ingredients, and the risk of cancer
in humans.

•Additionally:
-Cocoamide DEA is a very effective foaming
agent; and, since obtaining the SDSs for
AGO house brands is often like getting blood
out of a stone...then, IMO, Cocoamide DEA
has as much of a chance of being the active
ingredient in this BF product, as does SLES.


•Then again:
-Why am I bothering with debating this aspect
of this particular BF product when earlier I
agreed that it’s not really needed?:

SO....If I add this to McKee's X-Treme foam, should I plan on running? :buffing:
