If you want foam make sure you have a 1.1mm orifice and use at least 20%/vol of shampoo/water in your bottle.
Most anything will foam like crazy with a 50/50 solution..i use just cheap shampoo to use it up frankly - i prefer rinseless most of the time. A few cheap shampoo's on the market like 3D pink you can probably use 50/50 in your cannon at a decent price.
I like foam too but it's a seasonal thing.
FYI 50/50 is simply 250ml of shampoo and 250ml of water in your foam cannon. If it doesn't foam you have problems.(That's roughly 8oz each of the product and water.)
500ml of solution in the canister on my car is more than enough with my system.

Decided to use Lift this weekend on the wife's Altima instead Touchless. The Carpro is coming up on a few years old now and I figured why let it go to waste? Suds are thicker than Touchless...I forgot how much thicker. I don't wash her car often, so it was really dirty. When it comes to dust and dirt, especially on the rear decklid and bumper cover, Touchless and Lift are neck-in-neck in regards to cleaning power. However, it seems Touchless does better on the front with all the bug guts and splatters. I find Lift may be the better choice if it is windy outside as the thicker suds dwell longer and don't dry up on ya too quickly. I find myself, sometimes, rinsing the Touchless off sooner than I'd like to. Both remain solid choices though.
