I don't use snow foam (mainly because can't find a unit that fits my pressure washer). If my cars are really dirty, like your BMW, I normally take it to the self serve car washes and give them a good going over for about 3 minutes. I use the high pressure washers only as they are a lot more powerful than mine. It won't remove all the dirt but when I get back home it makes it slot easier to wash the cars by hand.

​​@@roadreg1820 I think the original comment was referring to the fact that the snow foam is a soaking agent that interacts with the surface to improve the dirt removal process and I suspect any form of soaking would make a difference versus an unprepared area. Perhaps a better experiment is to compare the difference between foam and plain water as pre-soak agents? I suspect it would still be better but it would be a more comparable set of conditions; y'know, science and all that.😂 Enjoyed the video though, thumbs up from me 👍

Great video Reg, Touchless and Autofoam are the only two snowfoams I use now. Not really an issue for me degrading the LSP as a quick wipe over with Sonax Bsd whilst drying works for me.

I'm glad someone has finally tested this, although I'd like to see the non snow foam side wetted down first, as water pre-soaking into the dirt might have an effect. Another good test would be snow foam vs spray on pre-wash to see if snow foam is really worth the extra faffing around or is it just as effective to spray on a pre-wash and let that dwell for 5 minutes instead.

Never wet before applying snow foam. It works by far the best spraying the foam directly onto a dry car. Dry dirt will sort of absorb the foam a bit helping it release. The foam is very wet as it is and has all the required chemicals to soften the dirt far better than water. With a good foam the difference with or without is quite incredible...

@mrlooneycooney8948

They all have their own purpose. A pre-wash shampoo however is better on an unprotected car, since most pre-wash products will damage alot of waxes or other protectants. A foam-shampoo often is softer on those kind of things. A pre-wash step is also a good first step, when wanting to do a complete decon afterwards, like iron removers, degreasers and insect removers. Then again, many detailers find their own thing, what works best for them. There's no real advantage using an expensive foamshampoo on a very dirty unprotected car. A pre-wash product often is alot cheaper and removes or losens alot more then a foamshampoo will.

Would be interesting comparing the two front wheels with brake dust covering the alloys too

One advantage / use of snow foam is to clean the underside of the car / wheel arches etc. A good application at the start of the wash process and then a final rinse at the end giving it time to remove mud / salt etc.

Good little video, thanks! Lots of comments about Touchless not being PH neutral, which is fair comment but, as far as I am aware, it doesn't strip wax as is being suggested. Yes it does degrade wax slightly quicker but it's pretty negligible. I just think, if it cleans the car better and makes a contact wash safer, I'd rather apply a new wax a few weeks earlier than if I was using a PH neutral SF. I tend to think, if you're using a SF then you probably care enough to protect the paint, so a little earlier waxing isn't too much of a problem. All the best.

I don't know how long the hydro effect lasts but I'm not that bothered, I wash my car often, and you don't need to use a lot so it will last.

Technicaly a alkaline degreaser work pretty similar , because a big portion of the formula in snow foam is just alkaline degreasing. But the foam is a bit more easy to reach and get the dirt of in my opinion. In Sweden we can buy Ditec proffesionell products on their site as a usual customer. And theres foam wash is brand just like alkaline degreasing foam wash. But important is to now that a degreaser is often a bit more chemical aggressive than a ordinarie car schampo. So good to have a good protection on the car if using it alot

I had a good laugh at the music coming in for the snow foam "montage," but it only lasted about 10 seconds 🤣

When using Snow foam or any other TFR ( Traffic Film Removers) always start at the bottom and work up to the top of the car for best results, this way you are allowing the heavier solid areas to have more contact.

Next time wet the non snow foam side to hydrate the dirt. It will make a difference because it gives the dirt a chance to absorb moisture and release from the paint. This is why car washes have a pre soak. Even though they will be using a chemical and you won't, it will still make a difference. I have a foam cannon that I use regularly. Your foam didn't stick around as long as mine does. FTR I use "Mr. Pink" as one of my foams, gently mixed with hot water. My canon isn't particularly expensive and neither is the pressure washer.

On closer inspection the stuff had removed every trace of oil and grease from the whole bike.

Somewhat related, I think - when detailing a bike, also, using a pressure washer is probably a bad idea. There are so many nooks and crannies and gaps and bolt holes etc etc where you can force in water at high pressure. That can probably promote corrosion and other issues. A bike is small, there's no need to use a pressure washer on anything. Maybe snow foam and rinse to get the loose dirt off, then a two-bucket wash system, some smaller brushes, maybe polishing up everything after with a Flitz 2- or 3-inch buff ball and the polish of your choice (I do favor the Flitz paste polish also, personally.)

Adding a snow foam as a pre wash is to soften the dirt on a car to make the washing process as safe as possible.

I saw monello arctico is able to have the same results. Still have to try it myself tho.

Its just an alkaline degreaser for foam application, this one is ph 12 so say goodbye to wax and it will eat into sealants also quite aggressively.

I find people who don't understand detailing should not post completely wrong information on the internet. The whole point of pre cleaners and snow foams, is to remove almost all of the dirt and grime BEFORE you do a contact wash with a soft wash mitt. You carry on using a shitty sponge and rubbing all that dirt and grit into your clear coat. I bet your car has more swirls than an artex ceiling. pmsl !

I find Road traffic film remover is better. Get a pump sprayer, less mess which is great if you have confined space. Spray and leave for 5 mins then just blast it off

i did a video on this a while back. Same results, the foam had removed more dirt. But my video didnt get many views lol. youve had a crazy view count on yours

I've been using thier alloy wheel cleaner, pretty good

It’s brilliant stuff!

What snowfoam sprayer attachment are you using?

I can’t actually remember as I bought it such a long time ago! It’s nothing fancy. I think I paid about £20 for it.

What a difference what dilution did you use?

About 40 percent product to 60 percent water roughly.

Question, in general when using snow foam do you pre wash, snow foam, use bucket and hand wash, rinse or just pre wash, foam and rinse?

I snow foam like I did in the video, then wash with bucket/wash mitt. 😁
