I am sure you have seen it, cars covered in a white snow shampoo looking mixture that beautifully coats the vehicle in a mist of snow. This is snow foaming, and this is a popular way to lift the dirt on your car when cleaning. Snow Foam Car Wash Guide Just as clay bars emerged from the professional world into mainstream car care, snow foam is now part of just about every maker’s range, and a lance to lay it on is equally important. This snow foam then helps to gently lift away and soften any dirt on the car. This will make cleaning the car afterwards with a wash mitt a lot easier and should also reduce the risk of scratches occurring as you clean. Do I need a powerful pressure washer?

There are numerous brands available, so you can try a few to see what works best for you. If you do not have a pressure washer, you can use hose based lances or hand pumped foam guns, however we do recommend investing in a pressure washer if are looking at snow foaming your car, it makes it easier to apply, and also easier to wash off. One of my favourite options is Valet Pro Citrus, which can be diluted (usually 1 part product to 8 parts water) and is very effective at cleaning whilst still being wax-safe so won’t degrade the protection on the car. These can both be applied using a regular spray bottle and will help break up the road grime on the car so it can be rinsed away more easily before washing the car with a regular wash mitt.As said, to get the best performance you'll need one that fits onto your pressure washer. The attachments vary between Karcher and the rest, so you'll need to get the one that's compatible. The Gilmour does a decent job considering it's on std water pressure, but if you have a pressure washer already it makes sense to use it

It may not look as cool, or be as fun, but in terms of it’s actual function, to clean the car, it’s just as effective.The good thing about this product is it’s versatility. It works for all areas of the car including the tyres, engine bay and interior, and can be diluted accordingly to offer excellent value for money. As well as our testing and experience using multiple snow foam lances, we also based our recommendations on the latest research and several factors. Some of the factors that we took into consideration included the lance’s build quality (bottle and connectors), adjustability, ease of use, size, compatibility, warranty and value for money. Conclusion As well as our testing and experience using multiple snow foams, we also based our recommendations on the latest research and several factors. Some of the factors that we took into consideration included the foam’s effectiveness, formulation, cling ability, scent and value for money. Conclusion Depending on the instructions for the snow foam you use for the current amount into the bottle and then top up with water and screw onto the snow foamer. On the foamer itself will be a small knob which you can turn, this will adjust the amount of foam you get when using the spray gun.If you move the knob towards the (+) you will get more water, and if you move towards the (-) you get less water. When you have less water you will have more foam so you get a stronger mix applied to the car surface. Feel free to experiment with different mixtures until you get a foam consistency that you are happy with.
