How do I get my soap to be as foamy as this picture? I have a pressure washer and it never comes out as this, I always get a very watery soap. How do I make it this foamy.
Look up snow foam. Its usually in a container that you can attach to a hose or pressure washer.

well i guess your question is answered, snow foam, just make sure you use a snow foam sprayer thing, the bottle and nozzle the guy is holding in the picture. i tried putting snow foam soap through a karcher k4 into the detergent bottle that you can buy things for and it completely fucked it up, the pressure cutoff piston jammed then broke so it doesn't turn on at all now, waiting on a replacement part.
the foam has a mixing guide and you can adjust the water/foam ratio by twisting the nozzle and knob on top usually.
if it immediately falls off your car and doesn't stick on then congratulations, it clings to dirt so it just means your car is really clean already!
Is foam actually more effective or is it just a meme?

it's fucking cool is what it is

So, the latter?

Foam does not make a soap more effective. This is a well known historical marketing gimmick. Just because you can't see it working doesn't mean the chemistry isn't happening.

well its a little more 'sticky' i guess, regular car soap could you spray it on and then wash it off? or do you have to sponge it?
i bought a barrel of foam soap, banana scented. delicious.

The idea of the foam is to carry as many dirt particles as possible off of the paint without having to touch it - which would cause swirl marks

No, the lather.

Meme, because you still have to wash normally after a foam soak.
Get a bucket of AFFF firefighting foam and mix it with some water. That should get foamy enough

Came to post this.
Soap shouldn't make any foam at all until after the thing you are washing is clean. If there are enough dirt/oil particles bonding with the soap then there won't be foam or suds. Once the dirt/oil is all gone the soap will foam up like mad. I'm talking about regular homemade bar soap, not "soap" specially made to be foamy regardless of the presence of dirt/oil.

It really is a meme for cleaning.

It doesn't actually work that way. You've been suckered by the soap jew.
