Adam's and Gilmour

I just ordered me some Adam's Car Wash Shampoo and a Gilmour. Is there a specific type of mixture that works good? Also grabed some Detail Spray from Adam's.

You have to play with it a little bit to find the sweet spot b/c water pressure varies so much and the rate water flows thru the gun will effect how well it pulls soap thru the intake straw.

Start with about 2-3oz to one full canister of water. If you don't get a thick lather, add more soap, 1oz at a time until you get a desirable mix.
