Which snow foam ?

[4sure]

Advice please guys/galls.
Which is the best snow foam to use.
Just purchased a Karcher k4 snow foam gun and there are a lot of different products on the market all claiming to be the dogs danglies.
Will be used for car and large motorhome cleaning.
Thanks in advance.

Autobrite do some really good ones. Even the standard one is good and what I use. You're going to br restricted by the lance you've chosen if it's the plastic ones as they aren't really up to much. It's worth getting one of these to really make the most of the chemical http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/index.php/autobri...

+1. Get a proper lance.
I have used 2 foams. The Chemical Guys foam is rubbish IMO. Auto Finesse Avalanche is thicker and more clingy and I have not felt the need to try a anything else since using it.

+1 on getting a proper lance.

I'm currently using krystalKleen blizzard foam - much better & you use less than autobrites own foam.

I have this lance and it's superb, even paired with my bargain basement halfords PW CLICK.
I used this one last year which was pretty good but separated out when it got very cold. Needs to be kept warm - CLICK.
Bought the same again this year; the name's the same but I think it's been reformulated. Very good so far.

PS. I've nothing to compare it with though so there may be far better out there.

Proper lance is a must I got this one which is expensive but works brilliantly http://www.elitecarcare.co.uk/elite-heavy-duty-foa... as for snow foam I get this trade foam which I found to be the best one so far http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autosmart-New-HYPER-ULTR... best to dilute at 100-1 which comes out of that lance in the other link like shaving foam. With it being 5 litres diluted to 100-1 it will last for ages too even if your doing loads of it.

I tried that one too and had the same problem I assumed it was passed it's life so binned it. Highly recommend this one to try http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autosmart-New-HYPER-ULTR...

I use Bilt Hamber. Smells nice, the dilution ratio (about two inches in a full bottle) makes it cheap, and it works better than a few others I've tried (Ultimate Finish, Autoglym).

You'll really enjoy it. I'd recommend getting a small detailing brush but soft paint brush will do. Put the snowfoam on first without rinsing the car down and while it's sticking for 15 to 20 mins go over the window sills and badges or other nooks and crannies with the brush just to agitate the areas a bit more. You'll be amazed how much better things look afterwards.

Pro Valet PH neutral Snow Foam has been pretty good to me. Just keep it in the warmth as i've found it going lumpy when it's stored against an outside wall in winter!

[LordGrover]

Is that the Valet Pro linked to above?

Has anybody tried this stuff?

Seems well priced and it comes direct from a manufacturer fairly local to me. Am tempted but don't want something that is going to strip all the polish off
