Does Snow Foam Really Work or is it a Waste of Money?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Does Snow Foam actually work? Is it a waste of money using expensive snow foam to clean your car? Snow foam is used as a contactless pre-wash detergent and is claimed to remove a significant proportion of the dirt and grime from your car prior to contact washing with a car shampoo and wash mitt. This video tests how effective two snow foams, bilt hamber auto foam and triplewax vortex storm, are as prewashes. The snow foams are compared with simply pressure washing the car with water.

    I’ve got a coated car and I’ve tested the pressure washer rinse only vs the snow foam pre wash (snow foam from the same company as the coating) and the difference is clear. The snow foam removes far more, almost all of the dirt actually, than just the high pressure rinse. I’ve watched, as many others probably have also, plenty of videos of Bilt Hamber Touch less and Auto Foam and the presented results seem to be very consistent. Thanks for the vid.

    Having a dark metallic car, and having swirls in paintwork, I have tried most brands of foam. Bilt Hamber is the best by a country mile.

    It's not as thick as other snow foams but it does a great job. Bilt Hamber touchless is the next on my list to try.

    I just upgraded my mjjc from version 2 to version 3, arrived yesterday. The version 2 started to leak which I was gonna fix with some ptfe tape. Anyway my car is filthy too as not been cleaned all winter, too cold. I will have to try the bilt cleaner some time, but I've still got a large container of the Autoglym snow. Did you ever get a lance for your stubby Ted?

    Yes, I did get a lance extension for the stubby gun. Thanks for the tip. It's great for cleaning the wheel arches and the sills. The mjjc v3 is great but I would still try to fix the v2 if you can. It's easier if you can use one for the snow foam and one for the shampoo.

    An even cheaper alternative is to use an ik sprayer. But maybe I'm wrong as i can't do snow foam. What about a comparison between BH AF through a foam cannon and through a sprayer. Cheers

    That's a good suggestion. I expect that it would take longer to apply the detergent but would probably use less product.

    So... hamber it is then 😁 which if you think a 5L hamber is under 20 quid and say 100ml per wash gives you 50 washs, which therfore is 40p per wash!!!... that should appeal to every " fiscally aware Yorkshire man" I know 😂

    As a pre-wash, yes, it is a waste of time and product. Simply pre-rinse then wash

    Pre rinse and wash ? Do you mean blast it with water then go straight on with a contact wash using a mitt/sponge and shampoo ? The channel owner clearly showed water does not remove any of the dirt, so going straight on with a contact wash means you are rubbing all of that dirt on the clearcoat, causing swirls and scratches. Your car must look like an artex ceiling.
