Which snow foam are you using Ryan? I have some of the Auto Finesse Avalanche stuff that came with my lance but despite varying the mix and the flow it doesn't seem to stick very well.

Rdlangy1 17-02-2018 08:38 PM

Exactly that Shane - avalanche

Banstead Stig 17-02-2018 08:39 PM

Looks good Ryan.

If you're ever in the Banstead area you're welcome to have a crack at mine.

I never get time these days. :(

I use that as well but mixed with equal amount of citrus wash, seems to make it clean a lot better

I go all way to - then quarter turn to +...

Half full with snow foam and rest with warm water :ok:

I'd love to. I feel guilty not having given it much attention recently!

Red Baron 17-02-2018 10:17 PM

Think I need to stop being so stingy with the snow foam, I'll try warm water as well.

Red Baron 17-02-2018 10:23 PM

Seems a lot thinner, think I used their recommended mix which isn't 50/50

Yeah recommended mix of about 25mm does nothing really besides a shampooey solution rather than snow foam coating.

I use the measurements said above, for thick coat then refill bit that’s left with warm water for an extra slick re-rinse if I’ve used a fallout remover or anything like that :ok:

It's a bit of a lottery as some come with instructions which leave it too rich!

Steve_PPP 18-02-2018 06:21 PM

I'm using the valet pro ph neutral stuff and probably use between 1/4 to 1/5 foam vs hot water, works well :)

Not tried adding citrus to the mix, might give that a go....

Rdlangy1 18-02-2018 07:19 PM

I found mixing the citrus pre clean with snow foam stopped the snow foam foaming as well and dwelling - but that’s just my experience

Rdlangy1 18-02-2018 07:45 PM

I usually citrus pre clean on a dry car... let that work... then jetwash, then snow foam, then jetwash as a pre-washing regime...then follow with fall out remover, rinse, snow foam (to neutralise any fallout remover), rinse then two bucket wash..

Strange as i found it foamed more, nothing changed with it dwelling but it cleaned better, all good fun trying different things though :ok:

Tried 50/50, seemed to work a lot better, need to buy some more snow foam now though, anyone seen any good deals on Amazon Prime?

Valet pro is usually on offer...

Red Baron 03-03-2018 05:10 PM

I'll grab 5 litres of that, worth a try at £19.99.

Store it indoors in the winter otherwise the soap separates and goes lumpy under 5 DegC.
I use it or super snow foam and remembered after getting valet pro again recently that it separates.
It does actually say about it on the container which I only read a few weeks ago.
