Thank you Meghan for sending this out to me for review.
Products: Blackfire Pro Detailers Choice Foam Booster
Price: $22.99
Quantity: 16 oz
Product Description:
Prior to this coming out there was no product description other than it makes any car shampoo a foaming car shampoo.
I decided to use this on my personal car hoping there was no polymers in it as I am currently testing Sonax CC36 ceramic coating and I don’t want anything to get in the way of my control area on it. Lo and behold the product description page states it contains polymers. I hope they are just there for lubricity rather than staying behind.
It comes in a squeeze bottle. Similar to the microfiber towel cleaners.
Dilutions are listed on the rear of the bottle. As stated on the directions it can be used in a bucket or straight into the bottle of one’s favorite shampoo.
The shampoo I decided to use was CarPro Reset. I use this as my main soap for my personal cars that have some sort of coating on them. Reset foams pretty well on it’s own and has good lubricity as well. I also added Reset into my foam gun with some Blackfire Foam Booster.
I added 2 oz’s into my bucket with Reset. It created suds as I was mixing it by hand in the bucket. More than usual. The Foam booster is thick and I could feel it in the bucket as I was swirling my hand around to mix it all up. I recommend mixing it pretty well.
It did create some nice suds in the bucket.
The directions on the label did not state that it could be used in a foam gun or foam cannon. So I was not sure prior to the product being released and reading the product description. I foamed the car and sure enough it produced a lot of foam. This is with the max setting on the foam gun.
Foam on the rear spoiler.
After a few minutes the foam started to run off the paint. Coated paint is nice as nothing really sticks to it..
I proceeded to wash the paint with a bucket wash and there was still suds in the bucket at the end of the wash process.
This was the second time I used the foam booster. The first time was with Rupes M101 and that shampoo is not designed to foam. The foam booster increased the foam in that and the lubricity.
Final thoughts:
The foam booster has lived up to it’s name in creating foam with any shampoo. Well at least the two I used it with. I am confident that it will do the same to other shampoo’s.
It did add some lubricity to the shampoo. I believe this is due to the polymers within it. I am not sure if the polymers linger around and are left on the paint. It did rinse clean ans as far as I know it didn’t affect the LSP that is currently on the paint.
The only complaint I have is that the product is on the thick side and it's takes a little effort to squeeze the bottle to come up to the measuring cup.
For those that like foam this would be the product to try.
I can not comment on how it works with a foam cannon. A foam gun has it's limitations and the foam won't stick like it does with a cannon. But the foam gun adds some fun to the wash process.
Note: Foam gun used.
