From many previous threads, it seemed the most common ratio was about 2oz of shampoo and the rest with water, then set the foam gun (Gilmore II in my case) to "D".
After several washes with the foam gun with these settings, I'm still left underwhelmed. The foam runs off the car much quicker than I envisioned. If I foam down the hood, by the time I work around to the trunk, almost all the foam is off the hood. Obviously the run-off is even faster on the sides.
I ran across Adam's car wash video from the 6th video series. He's using the foam gun originally sold by Adam's I assume, but from the 2:00-3:00 mark, he describes the foaming process.
His ratio was 12oz of shampoo. He didn't mention any extra water added, and then he put the gun on the "B" setting. He also demonstrates the effect at a "C" or "D" setting. The foaming appears to be thicker and 'adhere'/'stay in place' much better.
Did I miss something or was the process with the Adam's gun very different? Or does this just go through the shampoo to quickly (i.e. expensively)?
