Red bits?

Good coverage that mate
It is Andy, I never managed it with the previous snow foam gun I had, but to be fair that could have been down to the product used and not the gun.

I put up a YouTube thread on here a few weeks ago Tony about this very thing, all foam guns induct the snowfoam mixture at a different rate and also the expansion ratio differs on most if not all. This means that the same mixture will give different results depending on the gun. One bottle may empty entirely whilst another will only use half a bottle even with the same original amount.
I did the oil burner and the Z on one bottle Andy. Mixed at a 3:7 ratio.

On a different gun that may draw the fluid up quicker you could use more but good going. I can get Bella and the Yeti in one bottle, ish.
What snowfoam are you using?
I thought the idea of using foam was that you don't need to use a sponge or similar just wash off with a power washer. Avoiding adding swirls with a sponge etc.

And there was a cool breeze blowing in from the west when I started washing the car...................
I know snow foam is supposed to be the thing, but it's a bit poncy isn't it?
I find a wash mitt from a grit guarded bucket better at removing all the dirt and pretty much without scratches because I applied full PTFE coating when I first got the car.

Might try some of that. I use autobrite magifoam at the moment, you can make it so thick it's like shaving foam. Pointless though as it's just for looks when its like that. A nice thin layer like you have does a better job. Sometimes I struggle with magifoam and find it doesn't get rid of a lot of dirt but I need to dial in the perfect dilution rate. The best I've found for cleaning it bilt hamber autofoam once you work out the correct ratio for your lance.
I found I got a better coverage if I kept a fair distance between the lance and the car, allowing it to fall onto the car rather than being "blown" at it.
