I use meguiars hyper wash, which recommends a 400:1 dilution.
I have a gilmour foam gun that runs off my hose.
It makes foam nicely, but it doesn't stay "foamy", it's almost like it's too watery, when running at 128:1. It goes on nice and rich, but the suds flatten quick.
I cant imagine doing a whole vehicle with suds that remain in place. Just isn't going to happen. Is it because I'm not using a lance from a pressure washer? I can imagine suction is only so good, should I further pre dilute to get viscosity down? Say, dilute to 50:1 or 100:1, then use the 4:1 setting on the gun? I used that with hydrofoam once and it wasn't any better, though that's not meguiars...
Is it practical to fully foam a big vehicle like an SUV or van, and wash the whole thing down then rinse the whole vehicle at once? Not going to happen with my current setup.
Thanks!
