Carpediem still need to know where tog et decent snow foam detergent
Got mine from elite car care (as in my post :tongue_smilie
but all detailing sites will have some form of snow foam - they all generally work the same, I wouldn't be surprised if they all are exactly the same just with different labels on the bottles.........

No probs, snow foam is purely for use in a foam lance - to get the thick foamy lather that lingers on the paintwork to loosen up the built up dirt.
When moving on to the next stage of the wash with a bucket and sponge, I still use a normal car shampoo (autoglym).
Technically you can use the autoglym in the foamer (I have) but it doesn't lather up as much so slides off the car pretty quick - but it still works to a certain extent.

A very good place to learn more about this sort of thing, and to see who recommends which products, is the forum at Detailing World - but prepare to come away from there with a very big shopping list ! :laugh:

12-03-2017, 05:56 AM #25Yeah as Parthiban says, you really want proper snow foam and a foam lance to get good results from it. I think I posted something on snow foam a while back. I will try and dig it out.
