Snow Foam

I saw this in this months Goof+, so I thought I'd like to give it a try.

Has anybody used this before? and do you think I really need to buy the lance as well, cos my pressure washer has a detergent bottle attachment already.

Yep, used it to clean caravan in july. It's really good stuff. I had to adapt my detergent dispensor on my old pressure washer, but the really white over look is a bit exaggerated. It does work a treat though, Shifts dirt, but does hammer wax coat. It says it don't but it does.

I added Zymol Autowash to it. on a 75 snow to 25 car wash mix

My caravan was green on top with mould and it shifted it all off.

I thought it would be good for cleaning the camper in the spring.

That thing takes hours to wash after the winter. It's a bit dicey walking round on the wet roof too :lol:

It's good stuff Si. 10/10. Does exactly what it says on the tin.

The dispensor was a prob for me. My ex pressure washer had a screw on detergent dispensor, and it didn't foam it up correctly. The end was a narrow rectangle to spray out, so I butchered in some small self tappers to cause disruption to the flow. Worked a treat!

Spray on, leave for 5 mins, pressure wash off. JD

I am getting a new Foam Lance this week so will show you just what sort of foam you get out of a lance with Snow Foam, I use 50 snow foam, 40 warm water and 10 Shampoo (CG Maxi Suds) You get a superb foam from this and is great for pre washing your car before handwashing.

Process would be:-

Wet car
Use mixture as stated through Dispenser or pref a Foam lance/attachment
Leave to dwell for 5 minutes
Pressure wash off
Handwash car using two bucket method.

Using this process is the safest way of washing to your vars paintwork and will greatly cut down on adding those dreaded swirls and fine scratches.
