There seems to be a lot of questions asked on the web about the use of snow foam.
Is it effective ?
Do you need special equipment ?
Is it better than hand washing ?
Having surfed around the forums a bit I have put together the following comments which may help the newbie.
Firstly I would recommend a good quality product, something that gets a decent review. The general opinion is that you can't beat a bucket and sponge if you want a really good quality clean, but if time is limited and you need to do a quick all over clean, then snow foam is the way to go. The foam clings to the car body, dissolving unwanted oils and soils fairly rapidly. They are generally free rinsing so only a quick blast with fresh water is required afterwards to leave a nice streak free finish. The advantage of snow foam over bucket and sponge is that it will get into even the most awkward of areas for a thorough clean. Some snow foam products contain brightening agents that clean up your alloy wheels too.
A power washer and foaming lance are required to generate that foam. These are readily available from many DIY and automotive outlets. As with everything prices vary depending upon power output, size and quality.
The general advice for using the snow foam product is to put about 25mm of product in the bottle and top up with warm water.
Turn the dial to maximum then just ease back a little. Ensure the spray nozzle is fully open
You need decent water pressure and not too much hose length.
