    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?

    Oh, good Job Euan mate. Fun innit?

    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

    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
