There's no really "how to" with snow foam my friend..... Its basically buy a quality snow foam bottle, some snow foam and a pressure washer. Put a inch of snow foam solution into the snow foam bottle and fill the rest of the bottle with warm water. Attach the bottle to the gun of your pressure washer and adjust the valve til you have the required amount of foam. Cover car and leave for 5 minutes....... Rinse off and repeat if required. Once rinsed you can then wash your car with a mitt NOT a sponge :shocked:

These are the lance and solution I use and are great. There are cheaper lance's but they have plastic fittings and to be honest your better off spending that little bit more and getting a lance with brass fittings :wink:
