Thumbs up Cleaning/Soap - Power Wash Question?

For those of you that use a home-type power pressure washer with the built-in soap dispenser*** What brand of liquid soap do you find works best with these machines? High foamer / Low foamer - don't want anything that harms the clearcoat or the base paint or is caustic to the guts of the machine. If you can help with this one please do include name brands and suggested locations for purchase.
THANKS

I don't have any experience with a @ home standard single washer, but at work, we use a high and a low foamer, a high and a low ph, an alkalyne and an acid, are you trying to use the pressure to clean the truck?? All the products I use arn't possible through a store, they come in 33/55 gallon drums @ $1300 a pop;(

I can tell you this, if you were to go to a DIY quater wash, the best way to treat the paint is to use the standard degreaser first, wash it off, and then use the wheel degreaser and wash it off, this is using a high and low ph, one is for man made objects, the other is for natural objects, and it will neutralize out your paint.
