I always thought my front brushes where to aggressive when they come in together at the front they move the car a bit to much. I tried adjusting the air pressure ( i put it back to factory settings)but it did not seem to do anything if you know if the air pressure should fix this and if i should go up or down with it or what else i could try to make it a bit softer.
Thanks for your help

What is the condition of the FoamBrite? I too had this problem and it was due to the FoamBrite needing replaced after that no problems, are you hearing any squeaking if so then you need to increase the detergent I have my blue white pump at 5

Air pressure gauge may be at fault I know I have set mine at factory settings and they still seemed wrong I would replace the air pressure gauge. I know I need to replace ALL of mine to be on the safe side I hate where they install that pneumatic panel for these gauges why didn't they install it in an waterproof enclosed box where moisture/element can't get to it.

Another really bad thing about having squeeking Foam Brite brushes is that they tend to grab things. In addition the wear and tear on the material is extreme when they are dry or if you are using a chemical that does not have good lubricating properties. Check the volume of application and if the problem continues I would try a different brand. It can make a hugh difference and can cost you big in both vehicle damage and equipment wear and tear.

If your brushes are squeaking, you need more soap. The factory air pressure settings are great base starting points but it sounds like the high front air is set too high.
