Snow Foam = Poor Show!

[Marc.]

Now, I KNOW I've fcuked something up while using my new Snow Foam.

When I gave my car a blast with it the other day, and rinsed it off after 7/8 minutes, the car was covered in remnants of the snow foam - like, proper stained. I had to wash the car twice after that just to 99% clear it. Thus, the finish on my car this time is pretty appalling, tbh.

So what's the optimum setup for Snow Foam? I'm using the i4detailing snow foam, with a Nilfisk pressure washer / lance. Do I fill the lance bottle with snow foam and warm water? If so, how much S/Foam?

Noob questions I know, but the detailingworld.co.uk thread on setting up a snow foam talked about drawing on bottles etc, which was kinda off-putting to read, really!

You want about an inch of snowfoam then top it up with warm water

Sounds right, make sure you fill to top with warm water.
Don't use too strong a solution!

I think that's where I've gone wrong then. I'm assuming the overall solution was too strong, hence the terrible streaking across my car after I rinsed the foam?

Yea sounds like you used far too much mate, as i said above that always works well for me

as said above filled up with warm water and there'll be no probs, never had any marks left on mine
