IBA Pre-Soak not foaming.

We ran out of our normal Pre-Soak today. I have 30 gal of AP Formulators Wash Master left, but isn't foaming at all. Can Injist add a gallon (or 2) of 3x foam to it? Will take 48 hrs to get a foam booster in, & it should be super busy, so don't wanna wait 48 hrs.

Any surfactant will work
go grab a gallon of dawn it wont hurt anything
but triple foam be fine

I'm not familiar with the powder or 3x foam but Ontario is probably right. If you have a restaurant supply house like restaurant depot in your area you can buy five gallon containers of liquid dish washing soap for less than a bucket of most car wash chemicals. In a pinch you can use it as a foam brush or high pressure soap, I'm pretty sure it would foam the presoak solution. Triple foam "soap" will work if it is not a wax type product

You can also go to Dollar Tree and buy a few bottles of dishing soap.
