Snow foaming

TINTIN · 08-08-2008, 12:21

Whats it all about. What does the foam do that standard sponge and suds fail to do and how does it differ in it's results?

Gen me up on the stuff please........ need imput

basically, it gets rid of the dirt on the car without you touching it as much there for putting less damage on the paint.

idea is:
wet the car
foam it
let the foam easy off the dirt
hose the car and dirt off

at no point have you touch the car

= no swirl marks!!

rwdmad · 08-08-2008, 19:43

what about the normal bottle type thingy that comes with some jetwash's benn they any good with the foam or ?

**Benn** · 08-08-2008, 19:56

Depends on what you class foam. Mine gives a fuill on cant see thru it thick as funk foam that sits on the drive still after i've finished cleaning the car..

rwdmad · 08-08-2008, 19:58

fair enough

lol

**Benn** · 08-08-2008, 20:03

rwdmad · 08-08-2008, 20:06

Oooo have we a vid of bens car hidden in foam ? i want to try this foam and been debating on it but aint it just better claying the car ? would clay get the stuff the foam wouldnt get off or other way round ?

**Benn** · 08-08-2008, 20:10

Yeah the clay takes off the crap thats stuck on the paint that washing cant remove.

rwdmad · 08-08-2008, 20:16

Std bottle with a jet wash..

Snow foam gun/end on my jet wash..

TINTIN · 09-08-2008, 16:09

Sounds cool but uber expensive in the initial set up to get a worthy job. Think i'll just stick with my bucket of suds and take the risk of swirls

Personally I do the following

Snow foam
Clean Wheels
Jet Wash off remaining foam
Wash
Jet Wash
Dry

Leaving the foam on for 10 mins I find helps loosen all the crap in the seals and wat not, certainly better than a bucket and sponge anyway

snige87 · 14-08-2008, 11:35

cambridge · 14-08-2008, 12:01

I've got a gilmore 2 normal hozelock garden hose type gun its about the same price as the High pressure ones that give even better foam.... but I didnt want to need my pressure washer all the time lol.

Elite car care is good for shizzle like this and DW5 in one of the voucher options gives 5% off

It probably dosent give as thick a foam as the HP ones, but it does a good enough job for me..... with the sheer hatred I have for cleaning the car, the gun makes it fun lol
