question, when filling the snow foam bottle do you fill it with concentrated solution or do you pre mix it with water ?

I usually put a couple of inch of snowfoam then top up with hot water,but if car is really bad i put a bit more foam in it.

Andy,
Just using the Elite own brand which came with the gun at the moment but perhaps I should try yours once I've waxed it don't want to wash that off?
I diluted it 50/50 1st attempt,used it neat this week and the foam was much thicker.
Need some tips now for the black plastic trim under the doors anybody recommend what they are using?

I've got the same snowfoam lance too. Do you just dry the car straight away? I always worry about swirl marks from not washing it properly.

The instructions on my snow foam say to pre-wet the car first, do you not do that either? WINNER - 2009 ‘Just Doing What It’s Designed To Do’ Award

Rich,I snow foamed it dry because I was told if it was wet it would just run straight off.
I dry it straight away after washing with Meguiars shampoo and conditioner with a large MF towel. MY2011 HSE Santorini/Ivory/Piano Black/Privacy Glass/TV .Sadly gone.

I dont dry the car as the foam does'nt get all muck off,so if you dry with leather of other cloth you could end up scratching the paint work,i usually snow foam then clay then wash with dodo juice then polish with meguires then finnish off with meguires NXT 2.0 tech-wax.& 8 hours later you should have a nice shinny car.
