Snow foaming today.

[Bolesroor]

After the Christmas rush and 2 trips to Cambridge via Midhurst (don`t ask) finally got to use this today on the wife`s car- Auto Finesse Avalanche.

Although overall I was pleased with the end results I was disappointed in the foaming. I even read the instructions tried different levels of concentration and added some meguiars wash/wax on 1 attempt.

After foaming washed and dried.







May try this next, previously recommended by Worzel `Valet Pro-PH neutral`.

Nice looking Disco (when its clean!). Was certainly the best choice of vehicle for visiting the Anchor Inn for the Xmas meal!

twiddle your knob on the lance to cut down the water flow.
i normally put about 25mm - 30mm of snow foam solution in the hopper then fill with cold water.
i use the cheap end ph neutral stuff from cleanyourcar.co.uk

Scoob still hasn't been cleaned since going to the last meet. However I can give you some advice on foam try fairy in a bucket with a sponge. Ali gets foam everywhere with that combo.

Nice Disco by the way

Tried that Scott, had some strange looks though from the neighbours `twiddling my knob ` still could not get it to really foam?

Will order some from cleanyourcar.

Thanks Nige, this is Liz`s 2nd one, use to be able to justify having 1, 7 seats, 4 x bike rack, Liz even had the horse etc but at 89 litres of diesel to fill it up and about 400 miles per tank on a run its a tad expensive these days.

I have found warm water helps with foaming. The lance I have is useless, so until I get a new one I have tried this trick and it works a treat.

Still not as good as a variable flow lance though.

Ahh that his secret, I was wondering

I use PH Neutral snow foam from www.cleanyourcar.co.uk - their own brand - 6 squirts in the foaming lance, and rest toppped up with hot water and boom !!!! Its like my car's been resprayed in white ! leave it for 15mins, and then rinse, and results are good for loosening bird ****, and pulling off dried on dirt. Obviously fully washed after, but snow foam does work well on encapsulating the dirt and softening up tar, and birds sh*t.

This is good snow foam at a reasonable price. It dwells for a decent amount of time but that is partly down to the lance used.
