Does anyone know how well it works on astroturf?

I tried the whole dish soap and water on my turf and the turf was still slow any advice? More water?
I think I used to much soap and not enough water is that possible?

snow gel is much worth buying. It lasts forever and you dont need to use alot because it slides very fast.

we use snow gel on our set up. we have astro turf and a good steep drop in hill, so we really dont need a lot of snow gel on it. we tried the dish soap method first, but snowgel  is way better and allowed us to do so much more with our set up.

any gel soap will work, i got a huge gallon thing of Dial hand soap and that works great, the first time you sesh on the carpet soap the shit out it, and wet it thoroughly, next time you use the carpet it should already have plenty of soap on it and you will need to use less, just continue watering
