I've never used snow foam at all, i gind the jet was does a decent job of getting most of the surface crap off, plus sometimes my car gets washed in direct sunlight so i think i'd be a bit worried about the foam drying out before i can rinse it off. :sad:

You are missing out on fun Jimble irrespective of whether it works, it's a very manly thing covering your car with foam on a Sunday morning. It sort of tells the neighbours you are better in the trouser department  :smiley:

Seriously, I use it, but find that if you have driven through wet conditions between washes then you will always have to 'wash' as well. Better waxed the car, the better the results, etc.

I use the AB yellow magifoam just for fun too. I need to get out more.

I dilute it right down and use it as a quick way to soap the car up before hand washing.  :smiley:

I put at least 20% Foam and a capful of Wash 'n' Wax in my Snow Foam bottle the other day, but it was still a bit runny.  None of this "Shaving Cream" look I've seen others getting.  But I did manage both cars and still have a third left in the bottle...last time I did a more dilute mix it was WAY too runny and I went through two bottles of mix on both cars.  Weird.

Got some looks from people walking by, I must say!   :cool:
