I am also a certified Opti Coat Pro installer and everything your saying is normal. Per the warranty guidelines a thorough wash, decontamination and inspection of the coating must be performed annually by a certified installer in your area annually. If it is not the warranty will be voided and...
Try using a soap that also acts as a water softener. I use 4oz of Optimum Car Wash and .5oz ONR in my mtm and while I don't get very thick suds I do get more than adequate to last while doing a 2bm.
If you compare the undiluted products then Fabric Clean is a thick viscous liquid (smells like lemons) and All Clean+ is thin liquid about the sae consistency as normal water (slight chemical smell but does not permeate into whatever you spray it on).

Im a fan of wagons and hatchbacks. Love the utility of my Magnum. I also use it as my mobile rig and it holds everything including a table, pressure washer, vacuum, boxes and storage bins etc.

Ive done a few of those and they are indeed nice vehicles. Im a Mopar guy myself so i love working on them.
