Best Matte Soap for Foam Cannon?

I have an MTM Foam Cannon and a Frozen Black M4.

I currently use Dr. Beasley's Matte Body Wash and, while it works great, the foam produced is very thin/runny compared to what we get when using Chemical Guys Citrus on my wife's (non-matte) Cooper S.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a soap that won't harm my Frozen paint, but will produce a thicker foam with the cannon?

Thanks!

IF you are a fan of CG's stuff you could try their Meticulous Matte car wash. http://www.chemicalguys.com/ProductD...ctCode=CWS_995. I don't have any experience as I have yet to jump on the matte train but they say it works good with foam cannons.

I actually ordered a bottle on Amazon the other day, going to give it a try this weekend.

Interested to hear your opinion after use. Almost picked up a Frozen Silver F80 and talked to CG about their product line before chickening out...

Well I used it today. Foam is back to what I used to get on non-matte. Very pleased.

Are you using gas or electric pressure washer?
