I've been searching around and haven't found much and those that I did find the answer was all over the place.

I recently picked up a MTM Hydro Foam Cannon and Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss.

I know the Chemical Guy Citrus Wash & Gloss has two dilution ration (One for maintenence & one of stripping LSP).

However, things are a little different with a foam cannon. How many oz of shampoo should I add to the 32oz bottle?

My research online ranged from 1oz shampoo + 31oz of water to 4oz of shampoo + 28oz of water.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
fill the bottle with 3oz's of car wash and the rest with warm water...
 
Would that be for maintenance washes or for stripping LSP?
 
i don't trust using cw&g as a maintenance wash, even at a lesser dilution. it cleans well (citrus based) and i really would rather use something else for maintenance if that's what you're looking for...
 
i second VISITOR, everytime i use CG cw&g i feel like i need to rewax my car, it take almost all of the beading action from the surface.
 
Did some searching and I think I'm going to go with Chemical Guy Honeydew.

Going to use 2-3oz of Honeydew and the remaining of the bottle with warm water. Thanks!

Agree on honeydew. But did u get citrus wash & gloss OR citrus wash clear? The gloss doesn't really strip LSP and adds some protection, the wash clear is the more aggressive that will strip.
 
I got the Citrus Wash & Gloss. I know at a high dilution (1oz per 4 gallon of water) is safe but low dilution (1oz per gallon of water) is suppose to strip LSP. However, it's a bit different when you use the foam cannon with it. It becomes harder to determine the ratio.

Either way I'm going to use Citrus Wash & Gloss for when I want to strip LSP and Honeydew for weekly/maintenance wash.

there are so many great choices and if you want to buy in a gallon size car wash, then here are a few great choices IMO. megs hyper wash, dg901/902, 3D pink car soap, to name a few...

:iagree: just get yourself some honeydew
 
You should also also consider something like Optimum Car Wash. It foams well, smells great, works fine in a bucket, and leaves some gloss if you want that. You just need to rinse well.
 
Boy if washing your car can easily strip you're LSP, its time for a new LSP. I've taken my cars through over 20 commercial touchless car washes last winter without any LSP degradation. I use Sonax PNS on one car and DG coating on the other.
