Which snow foam are you using Ryan? I have some of the Auto Finesse Avalanche stuff that came with my lance but despite varying the mix and the flow it doesn't seem to stick very well.

Looks good Ryan.

If you're ever in the Banstead area you're welcome to have a crack at mine.

I never get time these days.

I use that as well but mixed with equal amount of citrus wash, seems to make it clean a lot better

Yeah recommended mix of about 25mm does nothing really besides a shampooey solution rather than snow foam coating.

I use the measurements said above, for thick coat then refill bit that’s left with warm water for an extra slick re-rinse if I’ve used a fallout remover or anything like that

It's a bit of a lottery as some come with instructions which leave it too rich!

I'm using the valet pro ph neutral stuff and probably use between 1/4 to 1/5 foam vs hot water, works well

Not tried adding citrus to the mix, might give that a go....

I found mixing the citrus pre clean with snow foam stopped the snow foam foaming as well and dwelling - but that’s just my experience

I usually citrus pre clean on a dry car... let that work... then jetwash, then snow foam, then jetwash as a pre-washing regime...then follow with fall out remover, rinse, snow foam (to neutralise any fallout remover), rinse then two bucket wash..

Store it indoors in the winter otherwise the soap separates and goes lumpy under 5 DegC.
I use it or super snow foam and remembered after getting valet pro again recently that it separates.
It does actually say about it on the container which I only read a few weeks ago.
