The Target in my area carries 1 gallon jugs of Meguiar's Gold Class shampoo for 10 bucks... Bargain shopping FTW!

I've also been intrested in this considering some of the posts up. however, i believe you need a high pressure washer to get the most suds. this true?

Yes, but a foam gun is better than none IMHO. a tutorial with a foam gun.

I was thinking of picking one of these up. I felt it would work really well for cleaning wheels/tires/wheel wells and pre-soaking the car.

I tend to use wheel cleaner instead of soap & water to clean my wheels because I am too lazy to mix up an extra bucket of wash solution. Lately, I've been mixing up a gallon or two of car wash solution and keeping it in a pesticide sprayer which I use to spray the solution onto the wheels. A foam gun I think would work much better than this though.

How many ounces of shampoo does it take for a single pass for a pre-rinse? One review i read said it uses up 3/4 to 1 quart! I normally use 4 oz of Meg Gold Class per wash.
