Anyone tried applying soap with this?
Is this ok for applying soap from say Zaino or Meguiar's? After applying of course you would rinse with a jet of clean water. Any input is appreciated, Thank you!

Well worth the investment. The foam gun works well to help reduce swirling when used with a 2 bucket, 2 wash mitt method.
Rinse, then spray down with soapy foam, then wash like normal, then rinse!

Mixing liquid soap (preferably one that contains glycerine or oil to provide lubrication) and water, and them adding air will produce foam, which becomes a Sequestant (Sequester [: to hold in solution) which encapsulates the soils (dirt / grit / etc) and enables their removal without intimate contact with the paint surface, minimizing surface marring or scratches. By using a pH balanced ( to help preserve your wax /sealant ) foam wash will help to remove damaging dirt particles from your paint it's also provides a cushion (foam) to enable a towel to glide just above the surface to avoid rubbing any dirt /grit into your paint finish.
