Snow foaming

[kingston]

Hello,

Been using a snow foam recently but always have the pressure setting down on the minimum, just wondering what pressure people use it on and not so that it strips of the layers of wax/polish etc underneath.

I wouldnt mind doing that when im going to clay/polish/wax but not for the intermediate washes.

Thanks

hay, i cant change the pressure on my pressure wash so i comes out at a high pressure,
i would of thought the higher the pressure the more it foams up,
depending on what foam you are using the one i use doesnt strip the polish off, i snow foam mine before every wash to get as much dirt off before putting my wash mit to the paint,
if you havnt found this web site yet www.detailingworld.co.uk has everything you need to know about washing ur car,
hope this help.

I use this snow foam, it doesn't strip wax so you can use it as much as you like!!

You should be able to adjust the pressure and spray pattern on the snow foam lance, I find the more foam the better so have a play about with it!!

This is the stuff i brought/use:

Maybe im expecting too much and thought itd removed all the dirt straight away. Though i did notice that the snow was thicker when the pressure was down than when the pressures up

And it doesnt half get into the vents for inside, car stinks of the 'snow' when being driven :xrealangry:

Handy to know about the vents - thanks mate. I've been contemplating getting a snow lance or the lesser foam gun for a while, primarily to get and keep more suds on the car whilst I'm washing it.

One of the detailers on detailerworld uses a small amount of degreaser in the solution mix which turns up much better results. Not sure what type and amount is safe though.

The Lance is amazing, everything else was useless from experience.

Best thing I ever did was have an undersink mixer tap going to the outside tap. The difference washing with 20-30* water is day and night. Even without great pressure or a fancy jetwash.
