Looks to be a high spot, which in most cases would be polished off. Sometimes, the high spot can be eliminated by reapplying to the area and wiping straight away. Being the CS Ultra, that may not apply. Either way, have the detailer look at it.
Firstly, well done! And well done getting the longer hose, that will make getting around the car so much easier.Got to use the new toy this morning.
Got the Bigboi WashrFlo. Got it from Repco with a 15m pressure hose. It didn't have the foam cannon I was expecting though.
I don't think I am happy with the foam I got. Bowdens Snow Job. A workmate with a Mustang recommended it and his car always looks great. I want to try the Gtechniq W4 Citrus Foam and maybe even a different Canon.
Again, thank you for the highly detailed response.Firstly, well done! And well done getting the longer hose, that will make getting around the car so much easier.
Bowdens makes some nice products, but Snow Job is not one them. However, if there is one thing Snow Job does well, it's the ability to produce thick foam. For everything else, it sucks. The new formula is better, but, well, there are plenty of great foaming soaps on the market that actually provide cleaning ability and much nicer scents.
I mention that because the foam does look a little thinner than normal for Snow Job. I'm assuming it's this foam cannon.....................
That should be delivering good foam. Naturally, ensure you have the control knob on the top turned to full. Make sure your dilution is on point, for Snow job that is 100ml of soap to 900ml of water. Also be sure to shake up your dilution properly.
In terms of soaps -
Gyeon Bathe - available at Repco (and the usual online suppliers), this is the best soap you can buy at an automotive chain store, and one of the better soaps on the market full stop.
Gyeon Q²M Bathe 400ml - 116024 - Car Washes | Repco Australia
Carpro Reset - this is an excellent soap for ceramic coated vehicles, probably my favorite soap as well. Expensive, but I challenge anyone to not be impressed with the slickness, cleaning ability, foam quality and scent. Reset is more concentrated, so you only need 50 - 80ml per 920 - 950ml of water.

Koch Chemie GSF - I would use this for the scent alone, but the slickness and foam qaulity is also up there with the best. This seems to foam best with 100 to 120ml.
Koch Chemie Gentle Snow Foam GSF – Cleaning Foam Ph Neutral 1L/5L (detailingshed.com.au)
Optimum Car Wash Shampoo - this is a bit of sleeper, one that I really enjoy using. It's a slightly runnier foam, but it does cling to the paint very well. It's also well priced, smells nice and is very slick.

I also really like using the Adam's shampoos, the blue one is the best, but all do a superb job.

The previous version of Snow Job was terrible. It just did not clean and lacked slickness. The new version is better, but still off the pace.Again, thank you for the highly detailed response.
Yes that is the foam cannon I have except it's a different bottle. Having checked the cannon again I don't think it was fully open, I thought it was but I must have moved it before using it.
I currently use Gyeon Bathe to wash the car and I love this product. I enjoy the slickness. I might try the Carpro reset. Can these products be used in a foam cannon for potential touchless wash? Say if the car is just dusty and may not require a full contact wash? Is Bathe Essence the same formula as Bathe just more concentrated?
It almost feels like the Snow Job took slickness away from the car and dirt literally stuck to the car.
How do you find reload with dust? I used to use it but found the car would get dusty virtually straight away, not sure if it was just a dusty time or if it was static
I tried to order the Reset but out of stock basically everywhere atm so have ordered the ' Bathe ' . Also tried to order Foam cannon just likes yours , likewise out of stock so have ordered MJJC pro from amazon . Was trying to buy all detailing products from one place but so much product is out of stock at differing suppliers its not possible . I am trying to do as much touchless washes as possible so really need to get a blower to dry of . Anyone got suggestions for a value blower , i do have 18v dewalt and milwaukee battery/charger systems but open to any brand at right value . By value it doesnt mean cheap , just good at intended use at the right price . ThanksAgain, thank you for the highly detailed response.

The blower I have is the Buddy Jnr from Bigboi. Its ok for me but it was an impulse buy. If the surface is slick it works amazing, when not so slick I just blowout the places a towel won't reach and any excess water and I towel the rest.
Reading Reset as being out of stock, I thought that was odd and went looking for it at the usual places, all listing it as available. Waxit are the local Carpro distributor by the way.
It was probably a different Carpro product that was out of stock , i have quite a shopping list and trying to find a one stop shop for everything i need is diffcult currently ( was actually impossible currently ) . The local detail supplier here in Brisbane , Car Care Products doesnt stock Carpro unfortunately . Edit i think it was reload was harder to get . Any similar products to reload which you suggested for exterior black trim . CCP stock Gyeon brand
I think I know where you were going wrong.
