Default Best Foam?

I have been playing around with my new foaming lance for a few weeks now and its time to get serious. What is the best foaming soap/ cleaner I can get for this thing? I plan on trying at least two or three so don't be shy, speak up.

Duragloss 901, Optimum Soap and CG Maxi-suds. I have used them in a foam gun and they work really nice.

I've read that DP Xtreme Foam works amazingly well in a foam gun so I can only imagine how well it work with a foam lance.

Adam's has a lot of foam... recently I have been using Turtle Wax Ice -- at $5/gallon clearance from Costco, it makes a nice pre-wash.

Have you used Megs Gold Class? I only have the Gilmour but it seems to foam a lot better than CG CWC and even straight Dawn soap. It also foams better than Megs Hyperwash too...

I had a concoction of DP Xtreme and about an ounce of CWG and I ended up with shaving cream, lol. I'm thinking the PW may also have something to do with the amount of foam you get.

I forgot to add that I have used Meg's Shampoo Plus and CWG and both foamed pretty well. I can't wait to try DG's CWC.

DP Xtreme Foam Formula will give you the best/thickest/shaving cream type of foam...
That is unless you are going to order Snow Foam from UK, which is very similar in formula, I think...
