Just having a fun foamy time :)

Interested to see what others think of the new shampoo. CG also released an ALLCLEAN citrus based APC. I think it is new. I have not seen it on their site until now.

I saw that. Did you notice how it seemed he used the soap straight? I can imagine same results if you do that with maxi suds too lol, but that's just stupid.

What do you mean straight? Without measuring?

So I have bad news and good news. The bad news is that they don't have Mr. Pink or All clean in stock at the warehouse. The ones they did have had already been sold online. They don't get the full stock till Monday.

That's the only reason I went today to CG warehouse. The good news is for my troubles they let me grab 5 items from their sale shelf. 5 items for $20. I LOVE CG.. :)

Without diluting. Imagine putting maxisuds straight from the container to the foam gun... obviously you're going to get mad suds, but you're wasting a lot of product, not to mention probably stripping the LSP.

It was diluted when he poured the soap in the cannon the cannon was filled with water already. also right after that when his rinsing the car you can see the cannon filled with light pink color not solid pink @ 1:23 min
 
Hi,
I'm all set with the foam cannon after watching Roshan's video. The 6 millions question is which pressure washer to buy. I want one with all metal fittings ready to use with a foam cannon.It seems that Karcher offers different models but with plastic fittings which are not very durable A quick connector for connecting the foam cannon il also required on the washer.
Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

good catch, I didn't see that the first time around. Honestly though, the results still look similar to maxisuds ii to me. Foaming really depends on a good high psi and gpm pressure washer, as well as soap.

It looks really similar to this, and the guy in this video is using maxi suds [video=youtube_share;s5pq_Z-5VtU"]foam lance evo x - YouTube[/video]

Foaming depends primarily on the soap and dilution used in soap reservoir. If you have a least 1500 psi pressure wasger you should be able to generate whatever foam consistency you desire.

I have a 1500 PSI pressure washer and am NOT able to make the foam consistency I want without making the dilution in the soap reservoir extremely high... much higher dilution than other people have to do with more powerful pressure washers, so I have to disagree.
 
Isn't foaming a car like in the CG video without rinsing off the foam before washing defeating the point? All that foam on the car is a great show, but I always thought the point was to: foam dry car, let foam dwell, then pressure rinse off foam (and all the dirt possible with it), AND then wash via a 2BM. If your going to use the foamer as a soap source, why put soap in a bucket? You mean, that guy thought that car needed more soap to get the job done? If you were going to use one bucket only that way, wouldn't you just use water as a rinse bucket for your mitt?

Chemical Guys is completely baffling to me. But their soap is always awesome, as are most of their products.

I think that is the mindset of a great detailer. Or to even improve on it, foam, rinse, then foam, and then go at it with the two bucket method with foam on the car.

Still, I think the idea of the foam is to lift up the dirt, so that when you go over it with the wash mitt, there's like no chance of any scratching. Just an extra safe measure.
 
DP extreme foam with the foam cannon and my 2500psi P/W...WOW...I mean its so think even diluted, I have to rinse of the vehicle after 15minutes, because the stuff stays on the paint.
Only problem, don't let it touch your skin, because it will dry that area right out. My hands used to turn grey and dry. Now i use gloves.

Yeah, I believe it's taking the oils out of your skin. Always best to wear gloves when in doubt :xyxthumbs:
