Does a foam gun work pretty good. It's a craftsman power washer.

I'd bet it depends on the detergent...

It does. I use car wash soap in my 11 HP commercial Honda machine, and use about two to four times the suggested amount. It takes a little tweaking, and the brand of soap matters.

What soap do you use? The bucket size is about 2 gallons.

Ive seen dedicated foam guns that make a very nice soap coating on the vehicle. They work well if you get a good one.
IMO no point on wasting electricity/fuel/forcing pressurized soapy water on the dirty car, when a low pressure foam gun could be used.

I use a foamer for everything I spray Not including when i run soap through the machine. Check out BE pressure.
I quit using pressure washers on my cars decades ago when I accidentally blew a small piece of meat off one of my fingers. After that happened, I figured it couldn't be doing my cars finish any good......
Distance from the tip is crucial.
Besides, the actual pressure can be all over the place from unit to unit.
