I have searched for days and days trying to find an answer, but I believe many people`s opinons are skewed to believe something is "high foam" but it isn`t. a few have posted pictures of funny froth that doesn`t stick for longer than half a second, and label it as HIGH foam with others agreeing.
through the threads i read that Eagle One and Meguires Gold Class is the popular choice, but do these provide the shaving creme type foam that some of the soap AutoGeek sells?
I mean i`ve attempted to use auto soap that was sold at costco, a big purple container but that produced runny frothy soap that didn`t stick at all. I just purchased a container of Eagle One Nano wash, but am not quite sure that will produce anything worthwhile.
are we strictly limited to specialty brand soaps to produce a rich shaving creme like foam? or is anything available off the shelf that can produce the same effect? I own 3+ cars so I wash cars often, so I`m looking for a soap that is easily accessable and in larger quantities.
Thanks!

tested these out. I am using a european brand Foam Lance. I am not sure if the design is the same as the Autogeek Foam Canon, but I have seen similar or less results between the two in comparison.

Power Purple....no picture...don`t even try it it is JUNK. like spraying on water. tried various mixtures of water to soap, it only made it worse adding water.
