It's obvious that you love what you do. Awesome job. Just wondering what the cleaning foam that you used was?

it's probably just a normal car soap, but applied through a foam gun that mixes water with soap to get the stick to the car sudsy coating that you see.

Bingo. We used a stronger solution of a car wash soap that is good at stripping old wax/sealant, and we use it via the foam cannon pressure washer attachment to allow for better dwelling. The additional dwelling allows the soap to act longer to better strip old product and build up, as well as laying plenty of lubricants for the wash process.

It's funny that you bump this thread, because I was trying to remember what it was called.

Threads like this one are why I got into detailing as a hobby a couple of years ago. I usually have the cleanest daily driver car around and help the other car guys with tips to keep theirs clean and looking their best as well. Great job.
