Car shampoo too watery/Tap adapter for hose to rinse car...

[IntriguedUser]

I decided to wash my car the other day, I poured a **** load of shampoo in the bucket, mixed it up. Upon application to the car, it was watery and well, just not soapy!!!?

Other times I've used a lot less and it spread around the car like butter?

Is it the temperature of the water, is it how I mix it? I'm stumped?

Also. I would like a hose so I can rinse my car before/after washing it, I don't have a tap outside my house as its council so I'm going to have to use the kitchen tap, problem is its shaped weird, so I'd need a rubber adapter? Any advice on this?

I used that stuff? I shall try a different brand when I next attempt to wash it, any recommendations?
