Default Super Snow foam

While having a nose round the web I found this stuff called super snow foam..

E-Commerce

http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/sho...ture%20144.jpg

Has anyone tried this stuff... it looks like it would work wonders with a gilmour or any other foam gun..

cheers

Andy

I have tried super snow foam in the past, however i find most decent shampoos work just as well in the gilmore.

This is a cpl of pic of Duragloss shampoo through the gilmore

Looks quite cheap to me ??

£13+delivery for 5 litres

Most of the favoured shampoos for foam guns are around £10/£12 litre

25 litres inc carriage works out at £1.67/litre=dirt cheap

Anyone know if it will strip your LSP ?

One of the reasons i use shampoo instead of some of the sno foams is because some, not all, will strip your LSP.

Russell - i pay nowhere near £10-£12 per litre for my shampoo, IIRC its nearer that for a (US) gallon

Agreed, better off sticking to shampoo's. From next week, we'll have Slick N Suds in US gallons (128 oz) for £32.95, and later this week US gallons of Meguiars Shampoo Plus and Hyper Wash for £13.95 and £18.95 respectively.

I ordered the Karcher snow foam lance and a 5 litre bottle of snow foam on Sunday from these people and it arrived nicely boxed today...

I can confirm that on the packaging of the snow foam it says that the product will NOT strip waxes or sealants from your cars finish...

I hope the weather is dry on Saturday... I'm all set for a play in the snow

btw they also have the Gilmour foam master gun for sale on their site now as well...

cheers

Andy
