Dirt Devil 1600psi Electric pressure washer
Autogeek Foam Lance
DP Xtreme Foam shampoo (3 ounce soap, rest warm water)
Autogeek Pressure Washer Foam Cannon HP, foam lance, foam wash gun, pressure washer foamer
This is a prewash, so I still do a two bucket method afterwards.
SO FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN though!

Sure. Car shampoo comes concentrated. You dilute it to the appropriate ratio, X amount of shampoo:X amount of water, to have a proper shampoo solution that will do its cleaning well. Higher concentration ratios can be used for other purposes that require a high strength solution. Suds help alleviate loose dirt and debris from the surface of the vehicle, but it does not clean. The water mixture you are applying to the car is what cleans. Some products work better to clean dirt and may create more or less suds.
If in doubt, FLAT OUT

Washed both of mine over the weekend. Mine was driving me nuts because it had a nice coating of bugs on the front from driving up north. Noticed some spider webbing on mine, so looks like it is time to polish and re-wax.
