Title: best snow foam out there??
Post by: candywhite12 on 05 July 2013, 09:48: what's the best snow foam out there to use with the Gilmour Foamaster II Foam Gun? I was thinking of ordering Valet Pro PH Neutral Snow Foam, is that good in terms of dilution? Any suggestions? I am running late, i'll be in the UK next week so i'd like to place my order with waxamomo today or monday at the latest.

Like above you'll not get that great of a SF through the gilmour gun.

Post by: SI74 on 18 July 2013, 20:26: The only one I've used that you can actually see the dirt in the foam

I snow foamed my car the other night as it was only dusty and it looked like that on the ground.

I agree. Doesn't look like it would run much, which takes the dirt with it. This looks like it might just sit on top of the dirt.

The BH stuff I use is much runnier but really good at taking the muck away, and compared to Megs foam, you only need to use a fraction of it for a far better result
