Gilmour Foam Gun

I got one of these from Phil and it is very, very handy. It's so cool to shoot out the foam and coat the car rather than constantly running back to the soap bucket.

I tried it for the first time yesterday and really liked it but it occurred to me that there must be some ideal mixture and setting. I am using Adam's car wash and had the gun set to "A". I just poured an unmeasured quantity of Adam's car wash into the container and had at it.

Any suggestions Phil?

Honestly no clue I typically put about 3-4 cap fulls of Adam's and put water in the rest of the bottle then I go c or e, e being a ton of foam almost no water.

Thanks guys. I tend to way overthink things and start obsessing about things like this. I wound up putting about an ounce of Adam's and firing it out on A, which I didn't like because it was too much water and not enough foam. Sounds like C might do the trick. Next victim will be the E90.
