No but I did put it in my foam cannon once for an extremely dirty car. Wow did it ever foam up and clean the snot out of that car. I did it as a precursor to the actual wash and it did wonders. I bet it would work great in a foamer too.

I think it will too. I'll put a foamer head on a bottle of the SGS and give it a try at work tomorrow night on one of those dirty ambulances

In most applications it seems we're always using it for degreasing or cleaning of some sort but I think we can also use it for undercarriage and wheel well dressing with say Meg's HD or what have you.

What's nice about having the Solo 419 is that you can really get into the inner wheels really well when spraying P21S Gel or whatever wheel cleaner of your choice. However, I only have one Solo 419 so I use that for getting really deep into the wheel wells instead with P21S TAW.

Thank you very much for sharing that. I was going to pour the rest of my Bare Bones into one of my 418s. I'll also transfer my WB into one of my other bottles and attach a foamer head...it doesn't degrade the seals on a foamer head, does it?

I've been using my foamer head for months now and no adverse effects. You will see a lot better use of WB with a foamer.

Go to the bottom of the page where the bottles and sprayer heads are and you will see it.

If you want more foaming action from the small hand pump garden sprayers take a hot pin and poke a hole at the top of the supply tube near the cap. Having a hole there will force air into the cleaning solution as it travels up the supply tube and spray alot more foam than normal. Just make one hole because 2 lets too much air out and the pressure goes down too fast.

I've got 5 of these sprayers (from Lowe's @ $7) and I have 3 set up to foam and 2 for normal spray. Depends on what I'm spraying.
