To get better results out of your foaming pieces, you want to make sure that you are producing a wet foam.  When the wet foam hits the body of the vehicle or the rim of a car, you want the foam to run down the surface, taking the dirt with it.


If the foam is coming out too wet there is a possibility that the is not enough air going through the system, which will produce a dryer foam than what it's recommended. Make sure to adjust the pressures on the regulator to the correct PSI. 


NOTE: Go to the base settings page of the solution page to find the proper PSI for all of your Sonny's Equipment


Most foaming applicators will have a needle valve adjustment at the foaming generator. The needle valve regulates how much air is entering the system. 


To properly adjust the foam do the following: 

  • Close off all the needle valves to where you only have chemical coming out of the system
  • Slowly open the valves. At this point air will get injected with the chemical creating foam
  • Adjust the valve until you see a wet foma being produced. 

NOTE: If you do not see foam forming while adjusting the needed valves, you may have a defective valve.


Before replacing the valves check for the following: 

  • Make sure there is air going through the air lines
    • Check the regulator
    • Check the solenoid valve to make sure it's opening when a signal gets sent to it
    • Check for any leaks or cracked fittings
