+1 for snow foam  :cool:

Some people swear by it , whilst others don't rate it.  I rate it and think it is an integral part of a good washing regime.    To get the max benefit, you do need a proper snow foam lance and pressure washer, plus decent snow foam shampoo.   There's a few threads about this in the detailing section.

I don't mate, i've considered it but i find a quick blast with the jetwash is sufficient, i might consider it again in the future although i have spent small fortune on cleaning and polishing stuff over the last year or so! It's a slippery slope this detailing lark! :whistle:

I'm with you mate. Stuff this snow foaming lark. I think its a bit gimmicky.

My car is so  well protected sealed and with cquartz and reload (courtesy of Dan J) that dirt hardly sticks to the car and any that does virtually hoses off. I just 2 bucket wash mine once every 1 or 2 weeks and top up with Reload every 3-4 months. Its amazing stuff and I would highly recommend it, especially as a new car treatment for you mk7ers.
