purchased - many thanks :afro:

Lmao @ the house!!
How well does snow foam work in general anyway? Never tried it myself.
-
In my experience really well, gets most of the crap off before you put wash mitt to paint work.
-
Which lance have you all got? The CYC one or the Elite one? I'm swayed to elite for the freee snow foam you get with it!
-
CYC for me
-
CYC for all my stuff as I can go and pick it up!!
-
Just outta curiosity, if SF is so good at cleaning, why bother with 2BM after?

i sometimes don't need to... especially once the car is freshly waxed... sometimes I just give it a quick snowfoam once during the week :angry:
-
Ive never understood snow foaming. Is it better than just washing the car down with water then wool mit with car shampoo then hand drying it??
( i dont wanna get the stuff unless i understand it propper :rolleyes: )

too much time spent with Horney :grin:

Its good, as it further reduces the risk of grit sitting on the car when it is washed down with a mitt. As the snow foam "lifts" the grit away from the body of the car and rinses it away.
-
well finally used the new ph neutral foam and :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
had to adjust all me setting on the nozzle - how much FOAM :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

good work Chuff! mine now looks like gillette shaving foam after messing with concentrations and stuff. Neighbours love it and cars stop at the crossroads to have a look! one guy walking past said your car looks better white!
-
excellent!!
have to say that the PH neutral stuff is top notch!
-
smells good too :cool: turned the road white after washing all 4 motors :grin:

good job it is PH neutral
not sure what the environmental impact is... but I always make sure I wash all the foam away
-
got a main sewer drain at the end of my drive so at least it makes it smell nicer for the people further down the line :grin:
-
nice one!
-
Go on then few non vag snow foam shots! this is before tweaking.

What pressure washer are you using that with, I have a karcher and wonder if it would be any good with that :undecided:
-
i have a karcher, just bought the snow foam machine to suit the model number :cool:
oh and back on the VW track

Why does it have to be ph neutral guys?
-
So if I have bugs etc stuck to the front of my car, and the car is generally a little dirty, will using a snow foam and lancer mean I dont need to wash with a mitt and rinse etc?
All I need to do is snow foam the car, rinse, then dry?
-

it doesn't have to be... but it is kinder to the fishes and the paintwork (non-acidic/alkali - corrosive)

it won't replace your 2BW completely... but you could use it midweek... you still need the agitation for your 'proper' wash to shift heavy/baked on contamination
-
I use a cheap Karcher and the cyc lance attachment.
-
I have a Karcher K7.85 and the cyc lance, now using PH neutral snowfoam mixed depending on what I am doing. The Mini one had a good dollop of CG strong wash in there to clear up as it had not been waxed before.
I always Foam twice and then do the 2BM and a rinse with RO DI water :)
