Foam Attachment-Pressure Washer

I ordered a foaming attachment for my Karcher Pressure Washer. I really want to see if it will allow me to wash the cars faster. Up until now I only used the Pressure Washer for knocking off junk that builds up in the WW over the winter. Its a 1500 PSI Karcher w/Brass Pump Head.



What if anything is wrong with this approach:

Complete interior and Glass Detail

Rinse car Low Pressure

Rinse Wheel Wells Med Pressure

Faom Entire Car (Not letting it dry-Rinse after 5 minutes)

Clean Wheels (While soaking for 5 minutes-then finish after rinse)

Rinse Car

Re-Foam Car and follow with a wash mit rinsing in clear water bucket w/grit guard every pannel?



Is this a less Marring Wash than a 3 bucket Method?



Is there anything worng with my procedure?



How much soap : Water Mixture should I use in the cup or should it be straight soap? I like the thick soap I see in the pictures.



Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hello---Did I post this in invisible ink???????????????
 
We are a Karcher dealer. Soap shoud be applied at very low pressure from bottom to top. Depending on the model the dilution is set at 10:1 /water:soap unless you have a model with an adjustable feed. Find out the dilution your particular soap should be mixed at. Reading the label is great for this! Find out the ratio of soap/water your injecting at. Do the math & go nutz!

Hard water will need a stronger mix ratio

Softer water will need a weaker mix.
