And dont worry about buying " snow foam " i use autosmarts ph neutrol shampoo and it foams better than loads of snowfoams i have tryed, and its only about £8 for 5 ltrs

My mates do detailing and if your wanting to get in to it, expect to spend big money.

If your just wanting to clean your car, don't bother with it all. As I wash my car with bucket sponge, some £1 car wash, £1 tyre shine and I have some autoglym polish and it comes out very good........ When I can be bothered lol

I think detailing is good and impressive but expensive.

I've seen one of those karcher foam guns in action and they perform pretty well compared to a more expensive one. At the end of the day it's £15 so you are hardly looking at a re-mortgage. Go for it glenny babes!

I have either that one or one very similar, came with 5ltrs of pH neutral foam liquid, use about an inch in the bottle with hot water on FULL thick foam Ive done my mk2 focus and my girlfriends Fiesta twice then pumped the left overs over my Dads work van. Mine was £35 posted and one of the best things Ive ever bought.

Brass fittings, fits my Karcher well. Cant fault it.

I've got that one too. Works really well. Some people think you need to cover your car in shaving-foam-thick suds, but that's not the point of snow foam. If you do your own car from time to time it's perfect. If I was a pro valeter I'd get one of the big capacity fancy ones, but for me the Karcher one is ideal. A full bottle (water and snow foam mix) easily does two cars, so it's easily big enough.

Same here
Think I picked mine up for a fiver.

Its a mix between both mate ... The suds have to be just right in order to soften and lift the debris and gravity does the rest if right.. Really thick is pointless and not enough is pointless.

If the foam is to thin ( like milk ) it runs off to quick, it needs to be a certain thickness so it can dwell,you can adjust the one i posted so you can get the perfect thickness you want.
And its not just the lance,my kranzle pressure washer foams far better than my nilfisk pressure washer with the same foam lance,the nilfisk no matter how much you adjust it you cant get it as thick and when using my kranzle.

Well ive bought the karcher one.Thers a video on you tube of one.It looked good in the vid.

Ive noticed before when ive used snow foam that mostly on my rear bumper you can see runs after the snow foam has been washed off.I normaly have to polish the bumper again.Does anyone know whu????

RichieST

Do you wash the car after you've foamed it glen? What brand of snow foam are you using?

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Yeh i normaly go over with a micro fibre wash mit and a bucket of soapy water.

The snow foam is from a company called auto rea chem.

iTrader: (1)

I used it yesterday and its mint.It hardly used any snow foam either.I took some pics so will have to post them.

car.crash

There were 2 types of karcher one. The original was gash and non adjustable. The newer type is much better.
I like mine and it foams nicely.

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Yeh mine is the newer type.

Funnily enough I snow foamed Cherie's Fiesta ST today and mucked about to see how much foam I could get on it.. (hence the over-spray everywhere )

..using >Magifoam snow foam mix< and >cleanyourcars lance<







I left it dwelling for at least half an hour - it stayed stuck pretty well before I rinsed it off - hardly needed a shampoo after to be honest, but I did anyway etc etc..

Glenn_

iTrader: (1)

Bloody hell that looks thick lol.


How long does the snow foam have to be left on.

Glen your saph looks mint on the sharktooths!

Think all be looking into one of these for my pressure washer

Dal_

iTrader: (2)

I've always thought the longer it dwells, the longer it has to "eat" the muck and gently slide off (making sure it doesn't dry on obviously). I left that for about 35 minutes I think before rinsing it off and it took most of the crap since last November with it; Meaning I wasn't pushing too much grit over the machine polished paintwork when I shampoo'd it afterwards.
