what I have found great with the foam gun is Adam's Car Wash Shampoo

Autoglym will work but you may not get great results.

I also have some ONR and Optimum Car Wash coming in the same order. I read that Optimum Car Wash works pretty good with it. And Chemical Guys Mr. Pink seems to provide a crazy thick foam as well. I will look into the Adams.

Detailer's Domain seems to have everything but shipping to Canada is always a killer.

I can, but the issue is that none of the sites in Canda that sell the stuff I want have all of it in stock...so buying different things from different places and paying shipping on all of it will put me at around 500 bucks by the time I have everything...
