Tidy mate! :cool: that snow foam looks like it gave some good dwell time?

Yeh it did mate, some think the snow foam is pointless but I find it really useful for lifting the grime from the car...I actually worked the foam in a bit after letting it dwell, this was the first time I've worked it in and think you get far better results...

In all I spent about 4.5hrs on it, sweat'd my nuts off but was well worth it....

Thanks for the good comments...

Real smart mate  :wink: The SNH is awesome stuff, gives such a great finish and the more coats the merrier I say  :grin:

That tyre gel looks the business!

As for your snow foam opinion...Some people just use it as it is fun :tongue: I have yet to use it  :sad: But have seen people just giving it one coat and then blasting it off and then another and then washing the car with it still on. The more suds the better perhaps  :undecided: Just food for though  :smiley:

Yeah I heard the same pal and me thinks I gonna give it a go next time....I must say tho if you haven't tried snow foam then you really shud, even if it's just for the fun.... :wink:

And if you already own a jet washer then your half way there....

I paid...
£46 for the Karcher(reconditioned at that price) but comes with a 12mnth warranty and tbh you wudnt of been able to tell it was recon'd if I didn't tell you lol...it looks and performs like new.

£38 for the snow foam lance(with karcher adapter incl)

and £25 plus P&P for the AS Ultra foam 5ltrs...found out after buying I cud of got 25ltrs for £46...D'oh! anyway it's not as if you use a lot of it at a time anyways...

Didn't need a hose as my karcher is MAGIC! lol...

Na not really, I don't have the pleasure of owning a driveway so I take it to the mrs's sister everytime the car needs a bath, and yes of course in the deal that I use there drive I have to clean there Rav and my mrs's Aygo...not everytime tho thankfully, once in a while...

I wud be a total nightmare if I did have a drive tho as I wud be washing the motor none stop, so it's just as well.... :smiley:

snow foam is good stuff IMO. if your car isn't really dirty don't bother but if its filthy its well worth doing and if you just polished/waxed it its worth doing too to get rid off all the dust. snow foam will help remove all  hose annoying little specks of fallout. i got valet pro ph neutral and its good stuff.

if you want to be really anal get a karcher chassis cleaner too!! had hours of fun with mine:laugh:



my car too is candy white and i use meguiars soft wash or next gen car wash first then polish with autoglym SRP, (recently got poor boys white diamond glaze but yet to try it - more or less the same as SRP i think), and then seal it with meguairs tech wax then add a few coats of poor boys natty's white paste (6 coats and counting  :roll eyes:)

the nattys paste is class. my car looks ridiculous with a few coats of that stuff. to touch its like glass and when i clean it all the sh!t just slides off.

i would totally recommend that for your candy white car.


i have nattys blue for our black ford focus though and its a fricking nightmare to buff off so dunno if its a duff tub but the white it so easy on and off???!!!

i got mine from tooled up.com but i saw them on the shelf in b&q the other day

http://www.tooled-up.com/ManProduct.asp?PID=192475

also get this as you only get 1x treatment included. you use karcher wash & wax, then blast it off with the rotary head then apply the chassis protection wax.

http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=192495


for the pre wash i use either car shampoo or karcher wash & wax concentrated stuff. i got it cheap on ebay

i also got a karcher window cleaner while i was on and thats great also! will keep the mrs busy.
