Can't help with dilution bit but I wud suggest getting a better lance, the karcher one is real naf and your be constantly refilling it due to its size and the coverage won't be near as good asTHIS ONE (http://www.waxamomo.co.uk/index.php?app=ecom&ns=prodshow&ref=pafola)

i have the 600ml lance and i use valetpro too. i usually 3/4 fill the bottle with SF and the rest warm water and set it to max. goes on fairly thick

I would normally stick about 200ml in the bottom of a 1l bottle, although I have even just filled the bottle with snowfoam and laid it on thick..

Totally disagree, the karcher one is fine mate. A the end of day you want the lance to spray foam over ya car and it does it, what more could you want? Ive done both cars today and half filled the once bottle and it covered the car nice and thick. Great product, you'll love it.

I use 200ml of Valet Pro and 100ml or tfr (surfex HD) and fill the 1L bottle with warm water! this gives me enough for 2.5 coats on the car.

the tfr just helps with all the heavy dirt!

Hope that helps mate

I don't think any Snow Foam (although you could try the new ValetPro Advanced Snow Foam) will remove tree sap, you cn try a couple of hits but I think it's going to need a pre-wash, wash, and then claying to get rid of the sap  :cry:

tbh im pretty suprised what ph nutral can remove lol. if i leave it on for a few mins then pressure wash it off, it does remove the sap (tiny droplets)
