Adding foaming agent to Simoniz Ceramic?

I will be trying Simoniz Ceramic Sealant on a 6 bay self serve soon. I plan to run it through the HP gun at about a 200:1 final dilution. I'm anticipating this won't show anything on the car, so I was thinking of adding the Simoniz foaming agent to show that it's working. Does anyone know if this will interfere with the performance of the product? Has anyone else done similar with Ceramic in SS bays?
 
I would not mix anything with that product at all, we use simoniz foam additive for our presoaks and it would definitely hinder the product, make it not as hydrophobic, mess with the ph, and leave spots on the vehicles. Simoniz foam additive is for products before the HP Rinse, not for waxes and ceramics. just my two cents!
 
We run JBS foaming ceramic in our SS bays, and at 1 location it doesn't foam as good as our other locations. We use lauramine oxide bought off amazon to increase foam at that location. We dual inject at the hydrominder. Works well for us in that situation - easy to get and use.
 
Give it a shot at 175-150:1. It makes a huge difference. What some people may not realize is that at those really high dilutions, you get the benefits of beading, some shine and easy drying - so it is essentially a really good drying agent. At the lower dilutions, you get the intended effect of the durable, water repelling high gloss slick finish. It’s not wrong to highly dilute the product, it just depends what you are going for in your particular application.
