As said, it may not have snow foam in the name, but meguiars hyperwash is the best with a proper foam lance.

Bilberry is a bit brutal to be using on the whole car mate.

its the next step down from wonder-wheels,, which is essentially paint stripper.

I've got both and I'd say the Bilberry is stronger than the non-acid Very Cherry.

The acid-based Very Cherry is very strong, but only ever use that on seriously soiled wheels and nothing with a fancy finish.

i said better not stronger.if you want something strong use wonder wheels.bilberry left my wheels looking like a matt finish and wouldnt shift the salt that was stuck to my wheels after the very harsh winter.VC shifted it without any hassle,didnt even need to agitate for it to work.once my VC is done ill be trying espuma as that gets great reviews

My mrs snow foam lance came from elite car care (with a detailing world discount voucher) and fits straight onto our karcher jet wash, but it will go on others too with a different adaptor (you choose at time of purchase)

Was only about 50 quid, really good bit of kit IMHO although im not detailing expert myself.

Just for information reasons the non acidic VC (verry cherry) is Alkaline based so still not ideal for repeated use according to what i read on my forum . There was a group buy for 5L of non acidic VC including a brush and bottle Ł24 delivered from Autobrite

Dont forget aswell you dont need to use a dedicated wheel cleaner every wash,if you have cleaned and sealed the wheels then the shampoo you use to clean the car will remove the light brake dust next time easy, then just keep the wheel wax/sealent topped up

Not really into detailing myself, but foam does look cool
(although was a bit late taking that pic, thats after most of it had run off as was quite a few mins after application!)
