Wouldn't adding 2 oz of soap in a foam gun be too aggressive ??

I'm still testing my new foam gun ( trying different dilution ratio/soap/technique) but something came to my mind..


Usually, no-matter what the soap is, we put about a 1oz for a gallon in order to have enought lubricity but also not to strip the LSP. So, what happens when you put 2 oz in a 32 oz bottle ? isn't the foam on your car way too agressive for your LSP ?

im actually waiting for that to arrive. i went for that deal. how could u not. and yes extreme foam is the best in the foam guns. infact i ran out and have been useing pinnacle . i miss my d/p.. hopefully tuesday ill have my nice a/g box at my door step:xyxthumbs:
 
also if i might add extream foam works great in a bucket wash too :xyxthumbs:
 
You're shooting a minimal amount of soap per gallon of water from your pressure washer. It takes me something like 6 minutes at "wide open" to drain my 32oz foamer of 3 oz of soap + 29 oz of water. With a 1.5 GPM pressure washer that's 9 gallons of water. Definitely not going to be stripping off the LSP at that ratio. Dial the knob even further back (more water, less soap mix) and you're ratio gets even thinner.
 
got my bogo of d/p extream foam in and ready for use :xyxthumbs:
