Review Poorboy`s Foam Soap (Beta)

[The Guz]

Had to chance to use the sample soap from the Poorboy`s giveaway. It was good timing as I have not washed the car close to a month now. Yeah I know not to Autopian standard. But life throws us curve balls and family is always first.

Onto the goodies.

A nice 4 oz sample to test

First thing I did was smell it. It has a grape scent. Similar to Blackfire Wet Diamond Shampoo. Really nice scent.

I poured it into a measuring cup to measure out a couple ounces to use in a foam gun. No foam canon this time. It maybe time for a new one as it has not been working properly lately. It also wastes too much water and I am taking the California drought into consideration everytime I wash the car. I also very rarely do regular two buckets for that reason as well. But with the current build up of dirt in the car 2 buckets needed to be done.

It has a nice gel like consistency. Not too thin but a little thicker than say Meguiar`s Hyperwash. The thickest soaps I have used is Adams. I would rate this with HD Wash, Optimum Car Wash and DP Xtreme Foam in terms of thickness.

Here`s another of me putting my finger in to show the consistency.

I proceeded with filling up my Adams foam gun with 2.5 ounces of Poorboy`s foam soap. The remaining 1.5 ounces I put into a bucket with about 3-4 ounces of water. It generated some nice suds.

Here is the soap and foam gun in action. The soap would definitely stick better with a foam canon.

The car all foamed up.

Thoughts:

Overall I enjoyed using this soap. It foamed up well with a foam gun. It cleaned well with my wash mitt. I think another 1/2 ounce would have been a bit better to get more foam out of a foam gun. 1.5 ounces appeared to do well in a bucket with 3-4 ounces. Suds lasted the entire wash. Overall a great product.

If I was asked what tweak this would need to make it even better. I would have to say to make it just a tad thicker.

Pros:

-Nice grape scent
-Good thickness
-Good lubricty as it allowed the wash mitt to glide across the paint
-Rinsed clean off the paint and glass
-Good cleaning ability paired with a wash mitt


Cons:
-None other than I need more

thanks for the review Guz .. :bigups

now that we know it looks or smells like someone else`s soap we can find another combination of color and scent that will be scrumptious for the final version :)

I`ll be more than happy to take the rest of the Grape scented soap off your hands then.
