Snow Foam

G17RDY I've played that game as well thinking I'll give this a go to only take it to a corner of the shed and place it never to see the light of day again.

Well worth a try, thing that is really annoying is that it is almost as good as the others out there, if it put around 10% less water through the bottle then the foam would be thick enough to stay on the car for a longer period of time.

I'm going to have another play about with the settings, before giving up on the thing, however if i cannot get it to perform better, almost, is not going to be good enough going forward.

Foam Lance arrived today! :excited:

Also just to add I'd not fill up the whole bottle with water, just half fill as with an inch foam it will foam up nice. Plus there is enough to do a car with half a bottle. If your doing both cars then you'll need probably the full bottle. Did you buy one of the pump dispensers? As it makes the job easy a pump and you have your inch.

I didn't get a Pump, but I did get a new Mitt for the post-foam 2 bucket hand job and a nice big towel to dry it all off once I'd finished :bow:

I would think Joanna will want more than an inch.

I just pour my snowfoam into the bottle. I do have a pump for my shampoo for the cars, as I agree it makes it easier to messure whats going in.

I think I have a spare pump. Ill give it to you next time I see you ;)

Yep :D

Another one lost to the 'alien world' :frown: :rolleyes:

Nice one Euan.....eh looks a bit runny from here ;)

See out of interest, would snowfoam, rinse, then snowfoaming and wiping down with a mitt, whilst rinsing the mitt often in clean water, just be a bonkers idea? Is there just not enough lubricity (wot a lurvly word) in, say, Auto Finesse Avalanche, to avoid swirling the bejesus out of the car? :confused:

Oh, good Job Euan mate. Fun innit? :thumbs up:

You would prob be ok but the foam ins not really designed to be a shampoo more of a dirt lifter I would still get my 2 buckets out tbh

Ditto

^^what they say^^:yes nod:

Well that's unanimous then. Cheers dudes. :thumbs up:

Ok, for once, i'm gonna be deadly serious, if you wash down the snow foam i would expect there to be grit contained within the foam and no matter how many times you rinsed the mitt you'd always be taking the chance of scratching the paint :idunno:

Just my tuppence, but, i'd snow foam and rinse with a power washer or hose type thingy jet spraying kinda thing

See...my logic was that I'd snow foam then rinse. I would then reapply the snow foam and then wash down with the mitt and rinsing often, my logic being that there would be no more grit in the snowfoam than there would be in the shampoo I'd be applying, if ya see what I mean?

If time is not an issue:

Pre-wash (via pump sprayer)
Dwell 3-5 min
Pressure wash off
Snow foam
Dwell 5+ min
Pressure wash off
Wash 2B method
Rinse off using open ended hose

:thud:

You are kind of right but even after a foam down there will still be grit in the foam 2nd time round as I said its designed to lift the dirt in to the foam

Yep you got it ;)

Also depending on what foam you are using you have more chance of taking the wax off the car buy rubbing the foam in to it ;)
