I tried the chemical guy's citrus shampoo and the super suds one...both are good.. the citrus one adds a bit more shine to the car though..also using one of those Amazon $20 foam cannons with a pressure washer

I use a garden hose foam cannon and I like it we do have a power washer but it’s a monster 4500 psi I think that’s too much for the car plus it’s a pain too set up even when we wash the house and pool deck I’m thinking about buying a small washer ( electric) I have too give chemical guys a try meguiars car wash is good but it just doesn’t have that shine but I love their waxes

The Harbor Freight Electric Power Washer ($87 ? ) is ideal, light, portable, and it even comes with a Foam cannon, that works far better than any one I have tried on a garden hose.
The only negative I have found with the Harbor Freight Power washer is that it's wand, and it's Foam Cannon have a unique, custom attachment fitting, so you cannot use other more standard wands, or nozzles, but it sure is easier (and Safer) that pulling out a 4500psi Gas powered washer !!

Ist part of the video he is using 50/50 detergent/water

Later, on his truck, he is using 100% detergent, and the foam is nice and thick, and sticks to the car surfaces.
It also uses surprising little soap for a lot of foam production.

This adapter can make most foam cannons work with the HF pressure washer. But I’ve found the foam unsatisfactory so I’m ordering one more part (foam cannon orifice) to try to make it better. Will give it a try this Wednesday.
