Still playing around with it, but with my Gilmour foam gun today when I was washing our Forester XT, I put 1 cup of Meguiars Crystal Car Wash in the container on the foam gun, then filled it the rest of the way up with water (another 4 cups). I started out on setting 2 of 5, but spent most of my time on setting 3, the middle setting. Worked pretty well, although it will take a little time to perfect my technique with the foam gun, microfiber mit, and fireman's type hose nozzle.

If turned upside down the mixture will come out of mine too, there is a hole near the top of the brass fitting that allows the soap mixture to come out if inverted, it appears to be there by design. Wasn't a problem since I never turned it upside down (except to check what would happen).
