Educate me on this snow foam malarkey.

You just soak the car, leave for a bit them rinse off?
No rubbing?

^^^^
No, you still wash the car, but after you've snow foamed/rinsed it off.
it removes all the cak, leaving you a car thats easier to wash by hand after.

SNOW FOAM IS NOT A 'ONE STOP TOUCHLESS' CAR WASH PRODUCT

this gives you details on how to wash your car

Mixture of Elite snow foam and meguiars NXT, has always worked well for me.

salsa-king

looked at my bottle tonight. i think i'm only putting 1" of Cheery snow Foam in. i'll put twice as much in next time.


Does everyone snow foam every wash?

If the car is heavily soiled i will but tend not to use it in wet weather, i wait with my daily runner till it's fairly dirty before washing it and snow foam that each time.

Just don't let it dry in the hot sun on your paintwork. I had Megs Hyperwash, made it strong to get loads of foam and I didn't wash it off quick enough and it ate into the paint on my scoop.

you know I sold the Roadster?

Yeah, and you can afford a 330s as a replacement, I hate you

How's your garden now it's had a year to mature?

salsa-king

lol I only lost £2100 off my purchase price that I bought the roadster back in 2005! got £6100 and bought it at £8200. so very pleased.

garden... its looking green.. blossom just starting to come out too, cut the grass yesterday.. before i cleaned my car

I bought my Brabus RC for £14k sold it 6 months later for £10k!
Should have held on to it but it got to the point where I'd lost all faith in it and just waiting for the next thing to go wrong. Ironically, I think they are still for sale at the same price I sold mine for 4 years ago!
Garden looks sweet! good work. What's that in the foreground? more water? have you put a moat round your house?

salsa-king

a moat!! lol need a duck house with the ducks we've had this last week lol

no moat, just patio and walling with patio

salsa-king

right I know what I've been doing wrong!!!

I need 2" of Sf in the lance... I'd only got 1" (I measured it lol)
I also need to keep my Jet wash trigger held on so it gets the full pressure of the Jet wash.. I'd only been 'blasting' it in bursts... not holding it on the full power.

these pix are a lot better with snow.. i even had time to go in, get my camera and take pix, without it running off as soon as I'd sf'd the car!!

sorry but that still looks weak, mine sticks really really well.

salsa-king

is your concentrae cherry sf.. in the 5 litre bottle.. thick or thin?

rob84

iTrader: (5)

aye its a gallon container and its saying on the label normal working concentrate is 1-5% mix with hot or cold water

salsa-king

mine seems quite thin in the container though. Makes me think its not thick enough.

salsa-king

has mine been pre thinned in the container!!?

Will post pics up later, after finding this thread i duly went off and bought the one from autobrite, i am gonna get some megs hyper wash and have only used the super snow foam that came with the autobrite lance, i have foam washed the car twice with the lance now and saw no difference at all, the dirt was still there after leaving the foam for 15 mins, maybe i am doing something wrong? i dont regret it though as its uber fun, my 3 yr old loves washing the car with itand the neighbours are pretty envious

You need the Magifoam, the Super isnt great at all,
Im doing zero touch washes this time of year on all cars,
I had to attack the arches on the hack with some APC, the wheels are the same zero touch as I use the Autobrite Very Cherry none acid wheel cleaner, you can see it working, once rinsed down they just need drying.

salsa-king

this stuff is brill on alloys, spray on, aggitate with a brush or sponge.. rinse off.. leaves them clean and shiny

JDM_Stig

iTrader: (3)

The fact you have to aggitate it means you are increasing the chances of scratches, thats why zero touch is better imho, same with washing the car, anything that limits the amount that you have to touch your car is better.

salsa-king

stone chips, dead flys and other stuff in the air when you drive don't scratch your car?

If u drove a £1m Veron I'd see you point but TBO I think you need to get out more if your so bothered about scratches from washing your car

why will you scratch your car if you've already pre washed all the main muck off it with snowFoam, then using clean water and a sponge/mit etc etc and jet wash it at the end, the you polish it again?

JDM_Stig

iTrader: (3)

Bless, you try to help and its thrown back in your face,
the fact you got a snow foam lance gave the impression you cared for your cars paint work, after they last round of laughs you obviously dont and are just playing at it,
I shall get my coat and leave you in your own little world of contradiction.
