    Phil,

    I got this pic from your site and just wondering what your setup is. I haven't been able to get this much foam out of it using Adam's Car Wash. :(

    sure thing its on mode E and I pour the whole Adam's Car Wash in there straight.

    No mixing for me, wasteful but I love it and its easy I go thru 2 gallons of car wash a month :)

    Adam's Car Wash is the Shizzle. I actually find though that going 1/4 car wash and the rest water creates as much suds just doesn't "stick" as much (as in it slides off the surface faster) but with my quick disconnects I can rinse at lighting speed after foaming! Thanks Phil for Setting me up!

    Just curious, sounds a little stupid but. When mixing, are you suppose to pour shampoo in the container first, then fill with water (which basically suds it up), OR are you suppose to fill with water all the way, then dump shampoo in it and shake it up manually?

    I do shampoo first then pour water in, but I dont get suds when I do that. Im not using high pressure water to fill it. Then I shake and foam.

    I typically do the car soap first then water and shake it up.

    Thanks Phil! The package has been delivered according to FedEx. can't wait to get home!

    I think FedEx always lie to me about the shipping date. It always tells me it'll be on a certain date and the package always (at least the ones from you Phil) come a day early! :)

    Wondering if I should 'work from home' for the rest of the day! :lol:
