Keeping your car exterior clean is a great way to take care of the aesthetic of your car as well as its longevity. Follow our step by step guide.
As mentioned above, most users will apply their snow foam through a specific lance attachment for their pressure washer. These aren’t always universal, so make sure you choose one that’s compatible with yours. They usually have a bottle into which you’ll pour the snow foam concentrate. And depending on the size of your car, this may need to be refilled several times. Hi Sparkly, I didn't suggest the Gilmour Foamster as I haven't personally tried one, when I tried the Super Spray I didn't get a very good foam cover and put that down to the crap water pressure at my brothers :( After testing several formulas, we found that the best snow foam is the Autoglym Polar Blast, which produces high-density foam that clings to the paintwork for far longer and effectively prewashes your car. However, if you want a snow foam that offers better value, the Pro-Kleen Cherry (as pictured above from our testing) is the best alternative. Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner (believe Tesco Daisy APC does the same)...but you wont need this for a while on a new carThis method is slower than using a pressure washer, as the jets from a pressure washer blasts the exterior of the car clean However, to avoid disappointment, we would advise against purchasing budget options that don’t include hardened plastic bottles and brass or stainless steel components as they won’t be very long-lasting. If you haven’t used snow foam before, we’ve written an in-depth guide that covers exactly how to use them. As most function in a similar fashion, this guide can be used regardless of the lance you buy.
If you revert to a hose pipe for safe rinsing you'll probably find that 'no touch cleaning' doesn't quite work, because you're missing the high-pressure rinse. So apply the snow foam with the power wash dispenser then use a brush to agitate and then rinse with a hose pipe. Youll get the benefit of the chemistry of the snow foam for its cleaning but that alone probably wont be enough, hence the brush and then a safe rinse with a hose pipe. This method mimics the use of a pressure washer with a snow foam gun, only with slightly less pressure. You use a specialist attachment that’s designed for a hose pipe. The attachment needs to be filled up half way with snow foam solution and the garden hose then slots into the gun, to create a cohesive spray.

As well as our testing and experience using multiple snow foams, we also based our recommendations on the latest research and several factors.

Tested to perform, these fantastic foams are some of the best car shampoos on the market today. They will give you a professional clean at a fraction of the price of a car wash Right I now have a nearly clean caravan, next open all the windows and hatches not forgetting the roof lights wipe under and around job done, not yet no, oh and by the way my 12 stone 4lb body was quite happy wandering about on the roof of my Coachman Pastiche 2016 model. Most snow foamers will use it in conjunction with a snow foam lance attachment to their pressure washer, but you can also use them with a manual spray bottle or a garden hose attachment.
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 Cleaning the car is a different matter, the no touch cleaning should work well there, full power rinse is not a problem I had thought about what I was going to do in relation to using the pressure washer and decided upon a 3 prong approach, first high pressure lance on the fibreglass rear one piece, cars are made from fibreglass so what's the issue. As the water pressure which comes from the hose isn’t as powerful as a pressure washer, there is less risk and potential damage from using this method, but equally it doesn’t create as much foam so won’t be as effective at breaking down the dirt.Once you return, you’ll need to rinse it off, but the bodywork should be substantially cleaner, and importantly comparatively free from dirt and grit, allowing you to finish the job with a cloth and shampoo followed by a coat of wax. Another helpful feature is that most snow foams will gently lubricate the bodywork, meaning that you’re less likely to leave scratches or swirl marks. We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. Instead of a pressure washer, use the pressure of your garden hose to cover your vehicle in soap suds or snow foam. Easy & simple. Delivered complete with a standard connector for a garden hose, or attach with a suitably sized hose clip.
