Well actually to be precise 300ml foam + 700ml warm water + 1 cap full of car shampoo
Detailing and washing your Macan
Buy some Valet Pro PH neutral foam as very little of it is needed and a squirt of shampoo gives great foam. Can't believe the amount of Ultimate Finish foam you guys are reporting to use.
And don't forget the knob on the lance is counter intuitive. It goes the opposite way to what your logic tells you it should go.

Upgraded the washer to a K5 Karcher at the weekend. Much better foam, lasted much better, but I still can't believe that you lot are getting away with diluting down the Ultimate Finish!
Must experiment a bit more! Also I wonder if turning down the pressure would affect the foam? Again some experimentation needed.

Just ordered some of the Valet Pro so will give it a go when we get back home.
My Met Black is currently looking very VG.
I did add a capfull of shampoo to the last of the UF foam that I had and that certainly helped produce a thicker more long lasting foam.

Get a pump dispenser for the top of the valet pro container. 2 or 3 squirts is enough along with a couple of a decent shampoo and top up the 1 litre container with water. Gives great foam but does depend on your lance and pressure washer. I also keep the knob on the lance fully round at zero.
This morning I washed and cleaned inside and out a very dirty Met Black Macan.
As a reminder mine has been Pro Detailed with Gtechniq CS+EXO.
With this and the prior Macan I have been using Ultimate Finish Snow Foam but the wash a couple of weeks ago finished the bottle.
At the advice within this thread I bought some VALET PRO Snow Foam and today was the first time I used it.
In direct comparison with my knowledge of the UF SF I found that the VP SF produced a much thicker foam.
After a few minutes I was a little dissapointed as most of the foam had dissapeared, but after a jet wash the VP had done its job very well and most of the dirt had been lifted and run off with the foam residue.
The two bucket wash was then a doddle.
So a thumbs up for Valet Pro SF from me.

I'll look out for Valet Pro Snow Foam, as I've just finished my supply of UF SF.
The Panny is in service next Thursday delivering girlfriend's 16 year old daughter to her prom, so it had better be looking at its best!
