I know that vid has been posted once (maybe more), but I'm sure most of you have seen it.

Well here is a thread more about his process and things he uses. It is on my auto detailing forum so enjoy. BTW, he uses very pricey equipment in this thread along with the $8000 Zymol Royale wax.

Is the car in the pics an Euro exotic? I believe it's built by GM of Europe, so it couldn't be the type of car you want to spend a few grand on clean up.

No, it's a Vauxhall. Long way from a Maserati. $27,000 will not touch a Maserati

Guy shouldve spent the money more wisely...8k for wax is absurd, and 5k for a wash is nuts. BUT I WANT SOME OF THAT FOAM BATH CRAP. What is it?

As Codiddy said, it's just the foam gun that gives that effect. There are many many good shampoos that will give that foam action.

One of my favorite and cheap on the wallet is Duragloss #901. It's also a popular choice for the foam gun.

I believe there are quite a few, but DP's is a popular choice.

Basically any of the boutique shampoos will work great for foaming.
