Chemical guys wash and wax is fantastic, loads of foam(still have some left after finishing the whole car), and it gives a glossy polished like finish, great stuff.
Its also very concentrated so you only need about half a cap to a bucket(the cap is small)

Foam isn't important with car shampoos. Lubricicity is. (Ok I made up that word)
You usually find foaming shampoos have a lot of additives.
I like Dodo juice born to be mild personally. And I would never use a wash & wax.

Do you mean you cant feel it when washing the car
Coz it just glides over it.
Theres probably not a lot between any of the shampoos tbh.
Back in the day I used to use Johnsons baby shampoo. Got the tip off a limo driver and it worked really well and is dirt cheap

As someone else above said it's not all about the foam lol, you want a shampoo that makes the water slick so as it lifts the dirt without scratching! You want to be using a lambswool mit, and personally i've been using:

I can get loads of foam with Autoglym, just make sure you swirl it around a lot when you put water in, does the trick with me.
