Russleh Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Anyone else feel kinda disappointed with snowfoam. Unsure if its just the kind of foam i used. Says on the bottle its 200:1 concentrate so i diluted accordingly. Presoaked my car and let it sit for 5 mins and then washed it off. I know it says that if its really dirty i may need to get the sponge on it but upon rinsing the car was just as dirty as it was before. like everywhere. Hadnt really cleaned anything. Any advice from anyone ? Russell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie ryan Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 you stillneed to wash the car lolyou snow foam it then just sponge it down then washh it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well the instructions on the bottle say Cover the car in foam , leave for 4 - 5 mins ( sponge if soiling is heavy ) and rinse off with high pressure . That kinda led me to believe that on the parts that werent totally dirty it would be cleaner after a rinse since i thought the whole point in the foam was to reduce contact washing. All I've done is add an extra step to my cleaning schedule lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 lol, You still need to give the car a scrub? the foam will loosen up the dirt particles you still got to give it a good scrub Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie1.3i Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 You still need to wash it. Yes you leave it on 4-5 min then jet it down. Then wash with bucket and wash mitt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 well with mine it just left it in the same state as it was before lol just seems like a stage i could miss out lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Raz Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 It takes longer with snow foam because u end up drooling over it like a kid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie1.3i Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 All it does is drags the dirt which you may scratch the paintwork with while washing off the car as a pre wash process . It isnt a nesasary process to do . I only do once a month when i away to wax my car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 meh i just expected it to take more of the dirt with it i guess lol. because it was windy. by the time it got to like 3 mins it half half run off and the car was already drying and the dirt was just dry again. I do love the look of the car covered uin foam tho haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andymcm Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I think its a very valuable step in the washing process, especially important if you want a practically swirl free finish. Normally id cover the car and let it dwell for 20-25 minutes then powerhose off, then move to washing with the two bucket method. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy SR Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 i used autoglym pressure washer fluid, made my car a lot cleaner than doing it by hand in a quarter of the time so i'm not complaining Quote Link to post Share on other sites
