Default Pinnacle Foam Gun questions

I bought the pinnacle foam gun a few weeks ago with some poorboys super suds. I washed the bimmer yesterday real quick, and was trying to get that nice, thick foam that clings to the car like I see in some peoples threads on here. I tied all soap flow settings, but could not get it even close to clinging thick. Before I go out and waste some more poorboys or zaino wash, am I missing something? What is your trick to thick suds?

I'd like to know this too since I use a Pinnacle foam gun. When I detail my car, the foam is never this thick. Even after playing around with various car wash soaps I've never been able to get foam as thick as the pic above.

and foam guns wont attach to pressure washers, they attach to garden hoses.

you want thick foam, you buy a pressure washer and a foam LANCE, not gun

my understanding if you want that think of foam you need a pressure washer... gas, not electric.
