Best pre-foam shampoo to use?

Just ordered the cam spray foam attachment for the cam spray PW and need a good pre-foam shampoo. My initial thoughts were CG Maxi suds and Megs Hyper wash, both would do the job well and be economical (im buying a gallon of whatevr I choose). Any thoughts of a good shampoo that is also good for pre-foaming very dirty cars to break down the dirt and good for stripping off LSP's? I already have CWG and think its great but you need to use a lot for it to be effective in stripping LSPs



Thanks -Dave

What do you mean by PRE-foaming? Is the foam gun/foaming step the start of the wash process?

Yes. I will rinse the car first and then use the foam attachment on the cam spray to coat the car with a nice soapy foam which will loosen up dirt on the paint and then I will re-rinse the car and proceed with my standard 2 bucket hand wash.



Sorry about the mix up
 
No offense, by why don't you just elminate the 2-bucket wash? With a foam gun it becomes a one-bucket wash. If you want to use a different soap for your first foam/rinse process, they sell extra cups.

because he is using a foam cannon on a pressure washer

not a foam gun;)
 
I use a foam cannon and have eliminated one of the two buckets. Once the car is foamed and it has sat on the car for a few minutes, I start washing it, rinsing the mitt often in the rinse bucket. I don't see the need for a 2nd bucket when using the foam cannon. If the vehicle is real dirty, you could foam, let dwell, rinse, foam again, and then wash.
 
I agree that you can/should eliminate the second bucket in your washing process if you're using the foam gun. I used to do the two-bucket until i got a foam gun, I now only have one bucket for rinsing and apply more foam if necessary while washing. Takes less time now with that process instead of doing the foam AND the two-bucket method IME.
