Troubleshooting
Product not foaming effectively
Ensure the correct dilution ratio is used for snow foam application. Check that the foam lance or pressure washer is functioning correctly and that there are no blockages in the nozzle or pickup tube.
Streaking or residue after rinsing
This can occur if the product dries on the surface. Ensure the vehicle is rinsed thoroughly and completely before it has a chance to dry. Avoid using in direct hot sunlight. Try using a lower concentration next time.
Reduced cleaning power on heavy grime
Increase the concentration of the product or allow a longer dwell time (contact time) on the surface. Ensure the application method (e.g., pressure washer, snow foam) is delivering the product effectively to the soiled areas.
Product appears to be clogging equipment
While designed not to clog, ensure thorough rinsing of equipment after use. If residue is suspected, flush the system with clean water. Use the recommended dilution ratios to prevent overly concentrated mixtures.
