Snow Foam Lance and Snow Foam?
- Thread starter KyL3
- Start date
Snow drift is awful, get 5l of Valet pro snowfoam for about £22 from shop'n'shine.
Good snowfoam lances can be picked up from eBay

Seriously you tried it? Looks like it foams up pretty good.

People need to start looking past how the foam looks, how thick it is or how long it sits in the paint. It is in no relation an indication of cleaning performance
What would you recommend as a pre-wash mate? something like AF citrus?
AF Citrus Power is good, I also really like G-Techniq Citrus W5.. It can be diluted up to 1:100 so is extremely coat effective and works very well.
Far too thick IMO, and just clings to the car for too long.. You only want it to dwell for a few minutes so it softens the dirt, It makes a complete mess of your driveway so you end up having to wash all the foam away after cleaning the car. Far too much hassle and the cleaning power is particularly great either.

As above, citrus power is a brilliant pre wash. When I get paid again I'll be investing in 5l of cp and 5l of auto finesse Avalanche. I tested a bit and found it alright. There wasn't enough in the sample to play around with dilutions though so I'm going to get more.
The best way to use a pre wash like cp though is to cover the car in a foam, then use a bottle of pre wash to go around doing the nooks, crannies and shuts. Agitate with a soft brush and rinse everything away.

Avalanche works really well with a capful of Verso thrown in, especially at this time of the year.

Valet pro citrus pre wash is also really good. As is their snow foam.
I use chemical guys no touch sf currently and i love it. Doesn't look as pretty as autobrite but the cleaning power is incredible. I'll upload some photos when I'm on my laptop later

AM Details Foam is brilliant if you ask me, another fond favourite currently is 'Drift' snow foam from Frost Car Care
Forgot about No-Touch, decent stuff that.. Haven't used it in a while!
Chemical Guys - No-touch snowfoam in action.
My car hadn't been cleaned in two weeks (last time I did it was just before Christmas) and I'd been out in the snow etc so my car was ditched. It was very windy yesterday hence the ripples in the foam on my car
Got myself a new lance as the oem karcher one I had was shocking.

And then this is after I washed the snowfoam off, I hadn't used a mit/shampoo etc, just snow foamed then washed it off.

Really impressed tbh and it's not a bad price for 5L.

That looks really impressive mate, good price aswell 2bh, where you get your lance from? Good quality?
Is it equally as good as the G-Techniq W4? Seems cheaper so might try the No-Touch to get the hang of it at first
Unfortunately i forgot to get before photo's, but it was bad!
Lance was from ebay, although it's exactly the same as the autobrite one, just half the price!
Did you say you had a nilfisk jet wash?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pressure-...Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item3f2ec17a46
I can't compare tbh as I've not tried the gtech one!
Yeah mate ive got a Nilfisk Titan, guessing i would need a different fitment from yours?
Yeah you will, the one I've linked is a nilfisk one, but it may not be the correct fitment for yours so just check the listing!
Cheers mate! Ive dropped them a message anyway make sure i get the right one, how does the No-Touch compare to the others you have had for the money? Really good price for 5L comparing to some others
It's the best I've used tbh!
My friend bought ValetPro Advanced Neutral and a lance at the same time as me, and the Chemical Guys appears to have a better cleaning power

Okay nice i think im guna give some of it a go! Do you use a grit guard or a two bucket wash method btw mate? Seems like your defo into your detailing
Use two bucket yeah, but don't bother with a grit guard as the mit doesn't got near the bottom of the bucket!
This is what the car looks like when the weather is better!
Beautiful example that is! Really makes me want to get some turinis on mine, do you use wax or sealents on tht? Also do you know how to access the discount codes for us on here? Guna see where i can get the foam for cheapestUse two bucket yeah, but don't bother with a grit guard as the mit doesn't got near the bottom of the bucket!

I haven't used NT for quite a while but it was very good from what I remember.. I generally prefer citrus infused snow-foams as they normally cut through grime more effectively and it saves you using a prewash aswell but I would expect the difference to be marginal anyway.
W4 is my go-to snow foam at the moment, it really is excellent but it is a little more expensive in comparison to others on the market.
I normally use Dom at Shop'nShine for Chemical Guys stuff, use DA10 for 10% off. Dom is excellent if you need any help!
Cheers mate, not sure on the new forum tbh as I haven't used any!
Think he has 15% off until Sunday, discount code NEWYEAR.
Dom is really helpful, it's a bonus that shop'n'shine is only a 10 min drive from my house!
Yeah mate pH neutral
Golf GT & A4 Avant
pH doesn't always indicate whether it's wax safe, but it's always nice to have pH neutral
AF citrus power is pH 13? So high alkali and is very wax safe, never had it shorten or affect any LSP

Cheers, might try it when my current snow foam runs out.
