Cam Spray 527100
Using it with the pressure washer I just bought. Works pretty good. And that was with gold class soap.. it doesn't foam up as good as the stuff I usually use (zaino or ultima)

Can we (georgia) wash our cars now? A few months ago, my friends got a warning for washing their cars because of the water drought.

The foam provides a higher soap to water concentration. However, the most important characteristic of a car wash or shampoo is excellent lubricity because the shampoo can encapsulate the dirt and other environmental particles and gently remove them from the paint without scratching. So, if you couple high lubricity and concentration from the foam, it further decreases the likelyhood of scratching the paint to help give the G that flawless finish.

the cam spray hes using i believe has either a foam lance or foam canon attached to it...basically in simple terms is, there is a small bottle connected to the gun which you would add your preference of car soap in and it will dilute with water to shoot out this thick foam you would normally see in the old bucket and sponge technique.
