I've used Chemical Brothers & Meguairs. I bought one for my Dad and I think he uses whatever soap he has on hand, Turtle wax, Meguairs, etc. I know he doesn't pay for the expensive "foaming soap".

I use the Chemical Guys foam cannon, their foaming soap, and a 2.6 GPM electric pressure washer (Sun Joe). Mine actually comes out thicker than the attached video but you get the idea. Makes washing my truck a snap.

Another Chemical Guys foam cannon owner and user....

My process:

1) Pressure wash all dirt off truck with straight water
2) Spray wheels and tires w/ cleaner
3) Clean wheels / tires with brush
4) Rinse w/ pressure washer
5) Connect foam cannon w/ soap
6) Spray 1/2 truck w/ foam cannon hand wash first half
7) Repeat 5& 6 on 2nd half of truck
8) Adjust foam cannon to light soap, spray entire truck
9) Rewash full truck to make sure all dirt is removed
10) Remove foam cannon and get pressure water ready for water only
11) Spray all soap off
12) Using gas powered blower, air dry truck
13) Wipe truck w/ shammy
14) Polish wheels, exhaust, etc with appropriate polish
15) Drink a beer and enjoy the job you did

PS: I haven't even touched the inside yet...AHAHHAHAH

I have Mother's brand soap I use. I have a decent electric pressure washer that does the job and a Tool Daily Foam Cannon my son got from amazon.

They work well. I am lucky and have a work truck so mine stays clean in the garage and I rarely have to wash it.

I do it a lot like avid_basser minus the leaf blower and I enjoy a few beers during the whole process. If I do not kill a sixer by the time I have finished "waxing" I feel cheated. I am a grown man who will not wait to finish to drink a cold refreshing beverage of the beer flavor.

Waxing: I started using Maguire's ceramic wax on mine and my wife's vehicles. So far it works great and makes any water spots you might have disappear.

Good at all 3 in town. I usually go to the one on knickerbocker cause it’s closest but use the one on Sherwood way too. Never been to the one on the north side of town. Out of the way and I hardly ever go that way.
