I just washed my very dirty car yesterday using Bilt-Hamber Laboratories Autofoam with my K?rcher K4.97M and a foam lance.
I've tried it couple of times earlier too, but wasn't able to figure out the right mixture until now. My foam lance has a 500ml container, and I put 250ml of Autofoam and other 250ml of warm water and that was the answer!
After foaming it on the car it dwelt for 5-8 minutes and left approximately 95% clean surface. And I repeat, the car was extremely dirty. Too bad I left my camera home right this time so I'm sorry I don't have any pics of it. But I higly recommend

Thanks.
I forgot to add that I used the foam lance at its minimum setting and was able to foam the car twice with this amount of product. Someone may consider the "consumption" high, but that really worked for me. I've tried smaller amounts too but had lousy results earlier.

Washed the car again today (detailed last Sunday). And was it the easiest wash job EVER?! Yes it was!!!! 
The car got unimaginable dirty in a week with very minor driving, and I thought that the wash would be a pain, but no...
The layer of Collinite 915 combined with the Autofoam did miracles. After one apply of Autofoam and rinse the car was all clean!
Sure I did a hand wash after that, but absolutely no dirt was in the paint after Autofoam. I think I will never try anything else for foaming anymore!
Couple afters for you:
