Hey guys sorry it has been a while seems work and life has gotten in the way. I appologize!!
Just received my hydrofoam and was getting ready to use it. The question I have is I have a gilmore adj rate foam gun and not a cannon. Has anyone used this combination and what is the reccomended ratio to use. If it is still 1:9 what setting should I use. I believe the settings are as follows
1oz to 1 gallon, 2oz to 1 gallon, 4oz to 1 gallon, 6oz to 1 and 12oz to 1.
Any help would be apreciated.
Also the car has been coated with a sealant is this someting that hydrofoam will adhere to or what should I wash with to prep.

Thanks for any info.

if I remember correctly. I had enough to do 2 trucks but was on the medium setting. I would open up to the biggest setting for 1 car and full lubricity

Hey guys got a chance to try the Hydra foam in the foam gun today I mixed it as Don did 3oz of hydra foam to 30oz water and ran the gun on setting "D" it had decent foam also like Don I did not notice any smell but product worked extremely well. You could almost see it start to repel itself if you didn't rinse it quickly.
I didn't experience any streaking. The shine and beading is noticably better than the last product I was using. I had more than enough product @ 30oz with the gun on setting "d" to do my Audi S5 it's not a very large car but not a compact plus I was not sparing with the product either. I will update when I get a chance to do my f150 and see if that is enough product. As well as the Hydra foam worked I'm excited to give the regular Hydro a try.
I also tried Perl for the first time and am in love with it. it's my new trim and underhood go to. Great products Corey excited to continue to try new things.

Do you have the same water sheeting with Hydrofoam as Hydro2? I have tried both and got much better results with Hydro2.

hydro2 is much better but hydrofoam is excellent for being a soap

I just did my wagon yesterday with Hydro 2 and I will agree that car was in bad shape and it really brought the shine back along with making it really slick and it now sheets water like crazy. It was bad before it treated it no beading what so ever.
