Adam’s Car Shampoo vs Super Soaper – Which One Actually Foams Better?

If you’re using a foam cannon, the soap you choose can make or break the experience.

Adam’s Car Shampoo is often seen as a solid, middle-of-the-road soap for bucket washes and foam cannons. But how does it compare to The Super Soaper, a purpose-built, semi-touchless wash soap designed specifically for foam performance and lubrication?

Let’s put them head-to-head on key wash features that actually matter.

Foam Quality in Foam Cannons

Adam’s Car Shampoo

  • Foams decently, especially with warm water and good pressure
  • Foam is often light and watery with cheaper cannons
  • Not marketed as a touchless solution—needs agitation

The Super Soaper

  • Incredible shaving cream-style foam with just 4oz per foam cannon
  • Clings to paint for longer dwell time and better dirt lift
  • Can be used in touchless washes with excellent results

Cleaning Ability

  • Adam’s Car Shampoo is pH neutral and won’t strip wax
  • Good lubrication, but requires manual agitation to clean thoroughly
  • The Super Soaper emulsifies dirt and grime with minimal effort
  • Loosens buildup even before touching the paint—great for pre-rinse or touchless methods

Rinse-Off & Finish

  • Adam’s rinses fairly clean but may leave behind some residue on coated vehicles
  • Water spots may occur in heat or sun due to slower drying
  • The Super Soaper rinses ultra-clean, even in direct sun
  • Designed to sheet water and reduce post-wash spotting

Final Verdict

If you want a simple soap for bucket washes, Adam’s Car Shampoo is fine. But if you’re using a foam cannon—or looking for a safer, more efficient wash method—The Super Soaper wins in every category.

It foams better. It cleans better. It rinses better. And it saves you time by reducing the need to touch the paint.

Upgrade Your Foam Game

The Super Soaper is purpose-built for foam cannons, touchless washes, and pro-level results—without the gimmicks.
