Should you rinse car before snow foam?
Always snow foam onto a dry car. When you spray snow foam onto a wet car, the water on the car’s surface acts as a barrier between the snow foam and the dirt it’s meant to be cleaning. It also dilutes the snow foam, causing it to turn runny, so it won’t work as effectively.
You simply spray the car until it’s coated in foam, leave it for five-minutes (not in direct sunlight), then return to rinse it all off with the regular lance back on your pressure washer. During those five minutes, the foam should lift off the nastiest bits of dirt, taking the grime with it when it’s power-washed off.
Can I use car shampoo as snow foam?
Can You Use Shampoo as a Snow Foam? Car shampoos do not usually work well in snow foam cannons because they don’t foam up well and the concentration of cleaning agents is usually too weak. Unless a very high ratio of shampoo to water is used in the cannon, the foam will be very thin and have poor cleaning ability.
Do you rinse car before pre-wash?
I would always pre rinse with the power washer to remove the bulk of the dirt, then snowfoam to work on the remaining, more stubbotn stuff. Quite interesting though that most people so far, apply to dry paint. Must try it that way next time.
Should I pre rinse my car?
You should always begin your car cleaning process with a pre-wash. Always rinse your car with a pressure washer or snow foam your vehicle before making the first contact. The chances of causing swirl marks are very high if you try scrubbing the dirt off a dry car.
Do I need to pre-wash my car?
Pre washing is a must to help keep the infliction of swirl marks, scratches and abrasions to an absolute minimum. The key is to remove as much dirt as you can before actually touching the car.
Let the Foam sit for about 10-15 minutes at least to let it do its job. If you try to wash it off too quickly, chances are it will not have had a chance to loosen any of the dirt on the surface of the car. The longer you leave the foam in place the more dirt it can pull away from the surface of your car.
Do I need to scrub the snow foam?
Snow foam needs to be sprayed onto your car and left to settle on its paintwork. You shouldn’t try and wipe off snow foam with a cloth or wash mitt as it doesn’t have any ingredients to help it slide over the car’s paintwork, which can lead to swirls or scratches.
Can snow foam be too thick?
Simultaneously, it shouldn’t be so thick that it’s hard to rinse it off. When snow foam is too thick, it won’t do its cleaning job effectively. In the end, the snow foam will only settle on the dirt on your car. The same goes for a heavier dilution ratio.
How much snow foam should I use?
You should use a (roughly) 3:1 mix of water and Snow Foam, with three parts of water for every one part of foam liquid. The exact quantities can vary, as the thickness of the foam can be affected by the settings of your lance as well as water hardness.
How do you get snow foam off?
My technique is to fill the snowfoam bottle with about an inch of the product then fill the bottle up with warm water. I then spray all over the car liberally and leave to dwell for 5 minutes and then throughly blast off with the pressure washer. I’ll rinse the car off 3-4 times.
A 5 litre bottle of snow foam should last you around 6-8 months if not more depending on how often you wash your car(s).

Can you use snow foam in the rain?
The ideal time to apply snow foam is in warm, slightly humid weather. You can use it in other weather conditions but there are a couple of things to bear in mind. Firstly, if it has been raining that day, make sure the car is fully dry first before applying (see item 2). Secondly, don’t use it in very hot weather.
Does snow foam remove wax?
Turtle Wax Ice Snow Foam is also pH-balanced, so it won’t remove wax or affect paint, clear coat, chrome, aluminum, plastic, or rubber parts. The best way to take advantage of snow foam’s pre-wash capabilities is to spray it onto your vehicle with a snow foam cannon or foam gun connected to a pressure washer.
