Good luck!  You only need to use about an inch of snow foam and top up bottle with lukewarm water.  It's trial and error with the nozzle and thickness adjusters but once you've used it a few times you'll get to know your preferred settings to get the best foam consustency.  Valet pro  is a bit thinner than some foams but more effective imo.

Congrats on your new purchase  :laugh:  You can see where your £40+ has gone when you see it in the flesh and you can probably also appreciate why they do a much better job than the karcher one.

Takes it a bit of trial with the dilution and spray adjustments but you'll get to know what is best, after a few goes.  Best advice is to make sure you run clean water through it, when you've finished each time (via the pressure washer), as they can clog easily with dried shampoo if you don't.  Enjoy foaming.

My 2ps worth of advice is that if you put about an inch of the foam in the bottom of the bottle and fill it with warm water you get nice thick results. Also don't forget to twist the valve on the top to change the thickness.
