In this video I’ll be talking about some common reasons why your snow foam lance may not be producing the foam thickness you’re looking for and how to get better quality snow foam.

I’m a believer that thick snow foam doesn’t equal effective snow foam, and cleaning power is more important to me than my car looking like it’s covered in shaving foam! Some snow foams are designed to produce thicker foam than others and as long as they do a good job of cleaning, the thickness doesn’t bother me.

However, if your snow foam is so thin it looks like skimmed milk and it has dripped onto the floor completely about a minute after being applied, then something’s probably amiss and hopefully these tips will be helpful to correct the problem!
