Has anyone successfully managed to get snow foam to work with a 10 litre hand sprayer? If what was the mixture ratio please?

Thanks

I failed, and the sprayer and container of snow foam have sat in the garage since frown

If anyone does indeed have a magic ratio I'd love to know.

Most are designed to be applied using a pressure washer.
Maybe a citrus type cleaner may be a better option for you, they seem to do a better less messy job.

Bilt Hamber Auto foam or Touchless will work through a hand or pump sprayer. Used at 4% as recommended would be 40ml per litre of water.

I think a strong citrus mix would be better although won't dwell for as long.

Do you not have a hose to be able to apply it using something like a Gilmour Foam Master:

When I am short of time but need to get a layer of muck off the car I use an IK foamer 2, filled to the top with 4-6% BH Autofoam at a public jet wash. It is just enough to cover my car (Swift) and then I jet it off with the rinse lance.
