Jason, I bought myself a "Poorboy's" Foam Gun off ebay as well as their Super Slick and Suds shampoo - it was a package deal. The gun arrived and as expected it was just a gilmour. Anyway, I put some of the soap premixed with a bit of water into the container and DAMN! It's like snow in July. I can highly recommend it as it produced some quality foam and with the wash mit I also bought it made it very easy to wash.

It was indeed. Going to use it this afternoon as well.

If you get it then experiment with the settings but I find that mixing about 1 part soap to about 2-3 parts water in the pot then setting the gun to either the highest or 2nd highest rate results in a really good covering of soap.

I'm still messing about with it myself as I only got it a few weeks back, but it is REALLY good. Using it with a good wash mitt rather than my usuall towel + swissol car bath and the results are much better.

Poorboy's Slick n Suds all the way - by far the best shampoo for use in foam guns in my opinion.
