Had it for 8 months give or take. Always rinse it out after use erm I will check the gause and hopefully that mite be the issue.

On the valve should it be more positive or negative? I get it foaming just not thick and its hit and miss, as in it'll foam for a few seconds then clear water will come out then some more foam then water etc etc. Its more like white water than thick foam  :undecided:  :cry:

Ah I see  :huh: right ill have a look into this  :smiley:

Thankyou Purple Haze

If Im being honest I do wash it after use but Im guessing not good enough, Im all most 100% positive that some sort of blockage will be my problem.

Right now for another question............. Is snow foam OK on fabric roofs???????????

My car being a Audi A4 convertable, I have been trying to just use snowfoam on the body but its hard not to get some on the roof, Ive feared snow foam will stain or effect the waterproofing of my fabric roof?

Right Ive stripped down my foam lance and cleaned it. Left it to soak in boiling water for a while to "breakdown" any left over soap suds and dried and put back together. Hopefully this will fix my poor foaming issue.

I do think the lance should come with instructions on how to use and how to maintain  :angry:

Mine like probably many others came with nothing.

Now ill have to wait til next weekend to see if it works  :cry:

no probs mate hope its helped, fingers crossed it works well next time you use it.

if the soft top on the audi is in good condition just wash it with your normal shampoo and rinse it off really well.

My foam lance only seems to produce a thick foam if I start it while holding the bottle upside down, after 5 seconds or so it's fine so maybe that would be worth a try, it annoys me but been like that since I got it!
