i just did the semi foam lance gun again. Using my karcher k2.01 which can only suck shampoo if use gun only not the PW lance.
This time i diluted first. 100ml OSREN Bubble wash to about 3/4 full of the coke 1.5bottle.
More satisfied this time. Wax was not stripped. Suds a bit more than using neat. But didnt clean as much. I use foam,rinse,dry, method. Then followed with quick round with DG Aquawax.
I used to take a long time to wash cars,around 2-3 hours. But this time,completed in 1.5 hours. Water used much much less, but electricity bill sikit naik i think, or would the electricity used be negligible? Tools used karcher k2.01,BoHai blower, OSREN bubble wash, DG Aquawax, DG fluffy premium MF.
Next time gonna try with OSREN Nano wash. Also gonna work on dilution to see if it helps to clean better, foam more.

I think I've posted this before but here goes again:
With a foam lance, this is how 2oz OCWash with 450ml water in the foam lance bottle looked like.
I've already tried quite a few mixes of different shampoos with it and I've concluded that the best usage for the foam lance is when you want to really clean down the car, including stripping off some of the existing wax that's been contaminated. It's not quite effective for a daily driven car like mine, especially when I averaged around 500km - 600km a week with stubborn road film at the end of the week.
Although it's not that effective in removing dirt/grime/road film/etc. from a daily driven car like mine, but I'd say it does significantly reduce the amount of leftover dirt in the rinse bucket.
I still haven't used the lance extensively, so not much that I can conclude except for, even if you foam the car, you'd still need a normal wash with a mitt to clean, i.e. just foam and rinse, even with a PW just couldn't cut it in our harsh weather and environment.
So the experiment goes on......

Thanks for the info krismas.
Thats the foamed look i am going for. but with my the foam gun lance that came with my PW, it doesnt even come close to that. foam not much or even at all and it slides off straight away.
