Default Snow Foam or shampoo ??

Hi guys I have just got hold of a Gilmour Foamaster pro Foam Gun from Ebay,I was wondering what the best stuff to use with it is ?
I have seen that you can get proper snow foam from some detailer outlets (not PB tho) Is this the best thing your meant to use or can I just use my Meguiars Hyper Wash shampoo

I use hyperwash; I put about a centimetre in the bottle and fill it with hot water. Works a treat

To clarify, Hyper Wash is a snow foam, not a shampoo, but it can be used as a shampoo if you wish. When using it with a Gilmour, use as follows...

Directions for use: Remove the reservoir lid and pour or pump approximately 200 ml of Meguiars Hyper Wash into the bottom of the reservoir, then fill the reservoir to the top with hot water. Then refit the reservoir lid and shake gently to mix the solution before finally attaching your hose - then squeeze the trigger and adjust the top dial on the reservoir lid until you get the desired foam thickness.
