Cleaning with snow foam review

Overlag said:
Super Snow Foam from CYC
and medium on the lance, also from CYC.

Nilfix 130c6 or something like that. 130bar.


It will probably stick to my car now, because i think the wax has worn off, but when its freshly waxed it doesn't cling on at all it seems

How much foam do you put in the bottom, about a inch?
Also do you top the bottle up with water aswell?

My 100ml of foam and 300ml of water and the lance set to max only lasts just long enough to give the car a coating, maybe 40 - 50 seconds.

About an inch sounds right, then yes, top it up with warm water.
 
Is it just me or is part of the reason people think snow foam is so good is because you can take pictures of your car covered in foam, rather than any miraculous cleaning ability. I'm speaking from experience here and a flickr account with various cars covered in foam, which then had to be washed properly afterwards. ;)

I know what you mean and I do really enjoy foaming my car however I am seriously impressed with the results.

All cars need to be properly washed after a snow foam.
 
I admit, I've used the PH Valet Pro stuff for years and it's really always required a wash afterwards even on a highly waxed car.

Perhaps the win here is the magifoam or the supersnowfoam which would certainly differ from my normal stuff and is maybe worth a purchase
 
Where is a good place to buy a pressure washer and a foam lance? I'd be tempted if I can get an alright one for around £100.
 
I got my pressure washer cheap, just keep an eye on Hotukdeals, its a Nilfisk one, cost me about £50. Lance I got from Autobrite but to be honest looking at the range of them they are pretty much all the same, just need the right adaptor for it.

Would you like me to send you 100ml of magifoam as a little sampler, gratis of course :)
I bet I sound like a bloody salesman, thing is I don't want anyone spending there hard earned on something I've raved about and be dissapointed.

I'd be most grateful, although I fancy 100ml might just cover one alloy :p

email in trust ;)

I also dont really understand it, perhaps I need the benefits explaining to me?

When I rinse my car off with a hose and then wash it with a decent shampoo and a washmit with 2 buckets, it removes *all* the dirt without introducing swirlmarks.

So what exactly would foam add other than an ability to post cool pictures on the internet?
