Power steering froth

Another headache this car is giving me just started when i put ps back on my car. I was driving without for a while now that spirng is near so is auto x. I dont want to auto x without power steering so i put it back on yesterday. when i filled it with fluid it was fine. Then i started the car and boom. the fluid turned into what looks like the froth on top of a expresso. So i go to a near shop and they tell me only honda fluid can be put in the ps. ( I in my third honda now did not know that). So i call honda and once again this is where the BS starts. they tell me its not prob bring it in they'll flush it out and it'll be ok. I pick it up today and they tell me they flushed it 4 times and the froth is still there then they tell me my rack needs replaced and also the pump. well they both work fine and before i replace another 1000.00 worth of parts ill just rip it out. And what really tipped off my frustration was the 121.00 bill for the fluid and labor for them to flush. Did i mention it looks no differant from when i brought it in. They fixed nothing and here i am looking for a way to get the foam out of my ps system. is there some sort of anti foam additive out there. theyre has to be a better way to get the foam out besides buying all new ps parts.

any one have a comment on the froth

Sorry bro...I know how it is. The Honda here is full of a$$holes. Bunch of ******. My mom took her odyssey in for 90k maint. They charged 1600 dollars for belts and labor. Your best bet is to take it somewhere else. We all know Honda labor is ridiculous...
