What`s a good, harsh foam?

I have a foam cannon which I use with Gyeon Foam on my coated vehicles. I`ve come to get a lot of use from the foam cannon as a pre-soak to my usual wash.
At my business, we have vehicles with full graphics wraps. These are delivery vehicles and they get washed about once a week. We take them through the local touchless wash so as to get them decently clean but not damage the graphics. The car wash uses a pretty harsh pre-soak that actually does a great job and getting debris off the vehicles. I was wondering if there was foam to use in my foam cannon with the same level of agressivness. Something I definitely wouldn`t use on my own vehicles, but it would save a ton of money from going to the car was with the delivery vehicles.
Any thoughts?
 
Add some all purpose cleaner to your normal (cheap) shampoo. This will help cut the dirt and contaminates. I do this on some of my vehicles that are going to get a full correction anyway.
 
Hey...never even thought of that. About how much do you add to a 100ml foam bottle that`s already a 1:10 with the shampoo?
 
You will have to experiment with this. It will vary based on the strength of the APC. I use Meg`s APC and add about and ounce or one good glug. Don`t let it dry on the vehicle and rinse well.
 
Auto Finesse Avalanche is a great pre-wash. I bought a gallon before Detailers Domain quit carrying their line. I use it every wash and it is pretty aggressive. I have heard great things of valet pro`s citrus prewash. Unfortunately neither product is available here in the states.
 
2OZ of Meg`s Hyper Wash and 6OZ of Meg`s APC in a 32OZ foam cannon bottle filled with water worked really well as a harsh foam.

Foam looked so good I had to take pictures:
 
Bilt Hamber Snow Foam (left) is a strong APC style foam this is said to be "wax safe". I believe there is a vendor of this stuff somewhere in the USA now, but when I bought it, I had it shipped from Europe and paid dearly....

It smells very strange - but works very well.

I tried Avalance by AF, and that was pretty good as well. It seems most people have dropped the AF line in the USA though.

Looking back, I probably would have saved my money and just mixed some APC with regular shampoo.
 
Ah...too bad. I ordered some CG Citrus Wash (they say foams great)...and I`ll mix in some APC and see what we get.
