You want to buy Magifoam to put through the lance super thick foam that cuts through the grime very well

Pfuuuuu and those bottles are usually used up in one or two uses, correct?

Snow foam a-go-go....

Been thinking about investing in a snow foam set up for a while now but now with the car on the way it's going to be a must. Problem is i don't even have a pressure hose at the moment and can't afford to spend hundreds on that alone.

If you have Good pressure from your regular tap you could try a Gilmour foamaster 2,i've been using one for 4+ years and still going great. Never going to be the same as a foam lance but certainly cheaper (and easier) than using a powerwasher each time. Find the foam doesnt cling as long as a proper lance but its more than enough for how dirty my car gets

Be cautious as a high ratio of TFR in the snow foam not only strips the dirt off but the protective layer of Wax/Polish and if its strong enough eventually the laquer on the paint. Not cool.

Thankfully Magifoam is wax safe so should be sorted.

Leon20v: Ah thanks for that! Will save me a lot of money and don't mind having to use two coats anyway

no problem, but do check the water pressure first.. and dont expect it to be as good as a real foam lance. Go with its limitations and you will find for pre-wash and basic foaming its great

Its wax friendly so its fine , probably the best foam available atm I reckon, definately gets a near touchless wash on a well waxed car.

autobrite magifoam is the business! Only one i use now

Is the snow foam instead of a wash, or is this as a pre-wash?

Pre-wash to remove, loosen the dirt prior to shampoo'ing to help reduce risk of marring the paint.

But during the bad weather and being short for time I just give the car a foam.. let it dew for 20mins pressure rinse off and leaves the car 85-90% clean which is respectable enough for how the weather has been lately.

I thought it was a pre-wash, but the car looks covered in some of the videos, and they look quite good after a rinse.

Yeah it does do a pretty good job, but Im a bit OCD so like it 100% spotless
