Mine never is that thick and clings so well  :cry:

By the look of his solution it may be because he has it neat? And I mix mine as directed with water???

Do you think he's using his neat?

There must be a reason its so thick and clings so well  :undecided:

its probably all down to what ratio he mixes his.. also probs depends on the jet wash i guess ?? i still almost get through a whole diluted bottle doing my car  :shocked: I do all the arches as well..

I really must be doing something wrong then cause I get through a whole deluted bottle easy, sometimes when im only half way around the car! Ive took my lance apart and cleaned and checked for blockage etc. I think I need to mess about with both the end nozzle and the pos/neg valve on the top to see if I can get better results.
Ive now got Valet Pro orange to try and ive got myself a pump sprayer to apply it. I thought it would be easier than getting all the kit out to snow foam each wash.

I'd say he's changed the air / water mixture ratio

Have a fiddle with the mixture dial (red knob I think, it is on mine) and whack it up to max :afro:

And Dan, you only need about an inch of snow foam in the bottle  :wink:

yes you only need an inch of solution in the bottle, and yes the flow rate of your machines will effect how thick the foam comes out.

Yeah mine comes out like that. I use about an inch of Valet Pro pH snow foam and a little drop of Chem Guys Maxi Suds II - have a fiddle with your dial and all should work out well!
