Recommend a snow foam

As above, just got myself a lance and a pressure washer.
Pro Kleen and autofinesse any good?

You need bilt hamber auto foam. It's doesn't even need to snowfoam it can be sprayed on. No other cleaner like it on the market for pre wash. None. Mix about 10:1 iirc.

Haven't used another for a couple of years now.

Pump sprayer or foam. Unreal stuff.

I second bilt hamber auto foam, dogs knackers! :up::up:

imprezaworks · Jan 12, 2018

As we are talking snow foam.

Have got a kranzle k7 in Work. Any recommendations for a snow foam bottle?

I've got an old kranzel and all I use is the one from CYC with the 22mm fitting.

imprezaworks · Jan 12, 2018

Are they about £25?

Yeah.

imprezaworks · Jan 12, 2018

Cheers. Never snow foamed and if nothing else looks cool.

I’ll give the magifoam a test. Bought 5 litres, roughly how many washes will I get?
I’ll try the bilt hamber next

imprezaworks · Jan 12, 2018

Is the magifoam quite a bit more money?.

Clio_romford · Jan 13, 2018

Bilt hamber on Amazon is around £10 cheaper including delivery

imprezaworks · Jan 13, 2018

Not the end of the world

Jonnio · Jan 13, 2018

Local detailer here recommends avoiding Magifoam. Reckons it's why the ceramics on my mates M3 were failing on the flat areas.

Clio_romford · Jan 13, 2018

don’t think magifoam will be that bad, lots of good reviews and recommendations. Obviously as a detailer you would only use world class products

I use bilt hamber autofoam sprayed with a garden weed sprayer..... Can't fault it.... Nothing else even comes close to the cleaning power.

Garden weed sprayer?

Think I got an 10 litre version....I mix a couple of litres up and leave it in the sprayer.. it still works ok a few weeks between washes...

imprezaworks · Jan 13, 2018

Just looked at those/similar.

A cheaper option but the snow foam lance is cooler lol

The BH auto foam doesn't foam up that good but it has super cleaning power, after I've SF the car/van is almost clean and there is fook all in my rinse bucket.

imprezaworks · Jan 13, 2018

Ah ok. So maybe the weed killer sprayer thingy might be a cheaper less cooler option but the result being the same as the lance cooler thingy option as it doesn’t foam.

I would still buy the SF lance bud, you may decide to change foams at some point.

imprezaworks · Jan 13, 2018

Yeah i will tbh.

And remember to wash it out with hit water as there's a little wire filter which gets clogged with dry SF.

I hadn't used mine in ages and when I went to the spray pattern was sh1t. CYC sell the new filters and spare bottles.

Clio_romford · Jan 13, 2018

Good tip there phase1sr

Penfold84 · Jan 15, 2018

I have a snow foam Lance aswell... And tbh I rarely use it, I use it when my car is mega filthy, when it's not been washed for months, if it's a fortnightly/monthly wash the garden sprayer does the job very well...have only ever used it with bilt autofoam as I read on its very good... So tried it out and really can't fault it.

imprezaworks · Jan 15, 2018

Yeah mine definitely doesn’t get done every few months lol

RhysThomass · Jan 15, 2018

Auto Finesse Avalanche is amazing alongside Citrus Power as a pre wash :up:

rs 1an · Jan 16, 2018

The Bilt Hamber Surfex is very good also you can increase the dwell time on these damp days

Gareth · Jan 16, 2018

Ordered 2 lots of the Bilt Hamber Auto Foam, hope its more effective than the Valet Pro stuff.

It is mate, that's what I switched from.

It smells like cheap aftershave though, neighbours will think you are rocking Old Spice.
