To be honest, I never even knew that Blackfire Foam Soap even existed until I got it as a sample as seen here. According to the label, Foam Soap is supposed to be extremely high foaming and is pH balanced which means it’ll be safe for use on previously applied paint protection coatings and won’t diminish them. This shampoo is supposed to be good for use in both a foam cannon and a bucket but considering that I only have a 2 oz sample, I could only test one of those methods. I chose the bucket because that’s going to be the most accessible route for many people.

We’re going to first start with the hand lubricity test where I essentially just run my hand through the mixed solution to see how slick it is. The directions say to add 2-3 oz of Foam Soap for every 5 gallons of water. I first stopped at 2 gallons of water and checked for lubricity. At one ounce per gallon of water, Foam Soap is ok. It’s pretty slick and would be perfectly acceptable for a contact wash. Next, filling up to 4 gallons of water, meaning 1 oz of Foam Soap per 2 gallons of water. Here, I would say that the water is still slick but I can definitely start to feel some friction. This is where I’d probably stop with the water.

After getting a chance to use Foam Soap for a contact wash, what do I think? Well, I would say that this product is kind of weird. From what I felt, I could tell that as I used the solution it got less and less slick. Again, it was weird. After a while, I kind of got nervous that it wasn’t slick enough for the state of dirtiness that the model car was in and thought that it could contribute to some contact wash scratches. If I had more of the stuff, I would’ve added more to make the solution slicker but obviously, that wasn’t an option. For me, 1 oz of Foam Soap per 2 gallons of water isn’t enough even though it is within the recommended parameters. At this point, I can’t give any advice on what an acceptable mixing ratio for this product would be because I don’t have any more to do further testings.

So the question is, would I recommend this product and the answer would be no. I can’t see myself actually spending money on this product for personal use so I can’t recommend it to anyone else. Of course, it may perform better less diluted but this product isn’t all that economical to start with. From what I’m seeing, the current pricing for Foam Soap is $24.99 for 32 oz and $45 for a gallon. That’s a lot of money for something that doesn’t perform all that well. I’d rather spend half the money on previously reviewed products from companies like Meguiar’s and Chemical Guys and still get better performance. But at the end of the day, it’s your money and you can do whatever you’d like with it.
