When you say stock foamer, do you mean the detergent tank that comes with the pressure washer. If so, I don't think that is meant for foaming. It is just to mix in soap to help in cleaning. It will clean but not foam.

I always wash with a mitt. Some believe that you can foam and then rinse. I like to foam, rinse, soap with mitt and two buckets (one for rinse, other for soapy water), final rinse. Rinse is with 40 nozzle.

I guess if the car isn't so dirty, you can foam and then spray. I would still do the above and just not rinse (go straight to soaping with mitt and bucket) if I wanted to save time.
