Go on the AutoGeek.net and find it, it'll have a page long description.

Use a bucket of clean water for a rinse bucket and than just use your mitt to wash along with the foam gun for the application of soap.

A foam gun and a foam cannon are two different things...one attaches to a hose and the other has its own gun for your pressure washer....way different pricing as well...the foam cannon is literally insane...prolly around the same results of foam but in a fraction of the time..which is no big deal..a foam cannon setup will prolly run you at least 150 and has to be compliant with your exact PW

If you're refering to the two bucket system where you use one bucket with the car wash soapy water and the other bucket as a rinse off of the wash mit/sponge with clean water, then, yes, absolutely!

There is no other way!

I use a grit gaurd on the second bucket on;y with clear/rinse water but my neighbor a few houses down - with a damn gorgeous Lightning - places grit gaurds in both.

What's your opinion?

Different "Rock", probably the same answer...

Humans err. It's that simple. The Grit Guard, in and of itself, helps to eliminate some of the error that humans put into the equation. Why not use one in both?

I've used one in both for years and truly believe that it's saved me in some instances as I have emptied the buckets after a grungy car (even my own) and noticed that there was some very fine 'grit' in the bottom of my soap bucket.

RP. I too ordered from ADS and have been using the super soap. I'm not sure what the proper dilution ratio is on it, so I've been tinkering with it until it "looks" right. Although, I'm not really sure if it does "look" right.

What's the proper ratio? And is there a chart anywhere that shows the ratios for Megs soaps? Also, what setting do you put your gun on? (I assume you have the Gilmour.)

128:1 on the SuperSoap, I believe. That's 1oz per GALLON of water.
