boy hard to say...

Cleaning mixture...what foam are you using...urethane?

Acetone + Zylene makes a grea urethane cleaner.

I know a thing or two about this...so..be more specific...

If you're asking about car wash soap... it totally depends on the soap really, but a good healthy mixture is 3-4 parts water to 1 part soap. Use the mixing head settings to fine tune it.
