I had a little time yesterday to wash up the mommy mobile so I thought it was a good time to try out the new McKee`s 37 Extreme Foam Formula.

The candidate for this test was my 07 4 door Silverado 1500 LTZ. This truck hasn`t got much love in recent months so it was filthy from the New England roads. A few months ago I polished the truck with Carpro Essence and topped it with Wolfgang Uber Ceramic Coating as a test.

I began by pouring about 2oz of product into my Wolfgang foam gun and then filling it with water. As soon as the water hit it it turned into a thick foam.

All I did before applying the foam was just clean the wheels and tires then gave the truck a quick rinse. Then I set my foam gun to the highest foam setting and went to town.(can never have too much foam!)

After letting the foam dwell I proceeded to do a normal wash with my microfiber wash mitt with a bucket of the extreme foam formula mixed up with water.

I have to say that it did a great job of breaking through the dirt and grime and left a nice clean surface. Drying was handled with my waffle weave drying towel.

Finished result. Just washed and dried here. No QD or spray wax in these pictures.

Me love foam, but for some reason, I don`t have much luck with it.

Nice review. I enjoy using the DP version.

What is your dilution ratio? Perhaps the water in your area is on the hard side.

I used 2.5 oz`s in this foam gun to get a little thicker foam and it foamed up really nice.

was that foam from a power washer? Not trying to offend anyone, but that foam really does not look that thick if it was...am I missing something here?

No not from a pressure washer. Pressure washers use a foam cannon. This is just a standard foam gun.

Water IS hard.

I`d normally put in a few ounces of soap, then equal (have used lots more, but that didn`t work either)

I have to keep shaking foam gun, and still only get 1/2 or less than I see on yours.

I would call it average suds for something from a foam gun but there are plenty of variables (foam gun setting, water quality, amount of soap, foam gun brand).
