bosco1 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Almost out of my car shampoo. Which one should I order. Wash & Wax or Ultra Foam? Haven't tried either of these. I use my adams foam gun usually when washing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 M3Eric Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I've gotta say I love the UFS and I definitely notice more foam in my foam cannon. I like to use g&g but using ceramic boost from time to time will give a nice glossy result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Nickfire20 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Kyle...can you confirm there is a small amount of the Wash and Wax protection in the Ultra foam? That was on another thread last week, cant find it now. Thanks For the the others here, I have all 3 and like them all, However I dont use the Wash and Wax on a very dirty car. If its that dirty, it will be straight Shampoo or may call for Strip wash(like after winter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 frosty350 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Both. I mix them 1/2 and 1/2. That way I get lots of foam and still some wax. Nickfire20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is the W&W okay for convertible cloth tops? Will it cause shine to a flat matte or rough matte stripe? Will it dry out vinyl stripes? Thanks in advance! I don't think you want to use anything with wax in it on your convertible top. I treat mine with Ragg Topp and then I can just wash the top with the rest of the car, including using the Ultra Foam Shampoo. Rinses off real well.

Did not think it would be good for the convertible top, but when saw Adam Pitale at a detail clinic asked him about using it with Matte stripes, and he said it would be just find. Didn't think to ask him about the convertible top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the summer, it's the regular (now the Ultra) shampoo. I use the G&G year round. No issues. Couldn’t have said it any better, WW is good for about every 5 or 6 washes when I want a little more then just a wash and I use ultra foam with my foam gun and I use it in my foam cannon also but if it’s a bucket wash most of the time just car shampoo.

0 pirahnah3 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I agree, I love the WW in the winter, and then I use a lot of the Rinseless in the summer, but do use some shampoo from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 tlbullet Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Older thread..but any reason not to use WW for every wash?? Seems like a no brainer. Price difference is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went straight to the UFS instead of the blue shampoo, but after my first use, I didn't see the thick foam that I was expecting with my foam cannon. It could be my cannon's orifice, which I plan to change next. Edited May 22, 2018 by PointMan spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to use 4-5 oz of UFS per Foam Cannon canister. Thats where i get the best results... also I recently upgraded from an electric pressure washer to a gas powered (2,800 psi, 2.3 GPM) and that brought my foam game to a whole other level!

I followed the foam cannon manufacturer's instruction. It was probably 3 or 4 squirts. I'll try using more this weekend. I have a Ryobi 1600 PSI, 1.2 GPM electric pressure washer, which I think is awesome for the size. I read that the gas ones produce better foam, but I didn't want to spend a lot for a starter unit. I asked because some folks are saying that the blue shampoo produces the same amount of foam by adding a little bit more. I thought by going with the UFS, I could get a nice foam with less amount of shampoo. I hope I'm correct. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. many variables come into play regarding foam , like gpm, water to soap ratio, type of water where you live(apparently theres TYPES of tap water) i read somewhere that nyc and its sorrounding areas high have high salt content in their water. maybe thats why new york pizza taste amazing... but i digress... i have a civic SI sedan and i use a GAS pw with an MTM foam cannon pf22 and i only fill it up 1/2 way with water and about 3oz of car shampoo... i usually get some thick frothy foam.

0 Norton Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 On 3/13/2018 at 1:28 PM, Kyle@Adams said: Clearing up some confusion regarding this topic. When we talk Silica and SiO2, we think of immediate curing and hydrophobic intensity. Wash and Wax does contain a small amount of silica in it (why it plays well with coatings) but don't think of it as a soap packed full with ceramic properties. The silica is a small polymer-like addition that helps with beading over repeated washes. So in conclusion: YES, Wash & Wax does contain silica. Keep your eyes peeled for a much more robust soap that may or may not contain an increased amount of SiO2 Apologies for the thread revival, but has there been any update on the "much more robust soap that may or may not contain an increased amount of SiO2"?

Whoa whoa.....Kyle if we are going to be testing the product I believe it should be tested at different altitudes..not just in CO’s high altitude. And maybe try someone on the east coast..just in case it reacts differently. ? Nickfire20, Beemer and 8675309'SS 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
