Snow foam in a can ?

[firemanSimon]

Hi quick bit of research. If it was available, don't think it is as I have looked. Would you use snow foam if it was available in a pressurized can? I’m thinking about the people who don’t have a pressure washer. It would probably come in a 700ml-800ml can and is big enough to cover a standard size car and cost about £5.99-£6.99. Spray it on and treat as you would normal snow foam. Now my thinking is not everyone can afford or store a pressure washer. So you would spray on and it would cover your car in the sort of same way snow foam would. Is there a market for a product like this? Aimed at the casual/armature car valeter or detailer.

7 quid per wash for soap? I'm guessing not sir, market would be tiny!

I use some soap, a sponge and a bucket to wash my car.

What would be the benefit of using snow foam? Benefit to me that is, I can see the benefit to the people I'd buy it from.

I have done some Very tentative research and would struggle to bring it in at less than £5.99

would not be aimed at you. More the home car detailer

If you can get it to work, I think it'd be massive amongst the car show scene. Car shows would be perfect for it, arrive at the show.. Snowfoam in a can, wash, job done.

It will be too expensive to sell well, as has been mentioned before, you have to literally cake the car in foam. It may also take a long time to apply in comparison to regular snow foaming. The economical way to wash a car at shows is using waterless washes or rinseless washes (cost of a rinseless wash is about 1.00-1.50 GBP if dosage is correct) and maybe a fraction higher for a waterless wash spray. Far cheaper to shampoo wash in the normal way of course.

There may be a market for a foaming waterless wash spray though - so maybe ditch the aerosol idea and consider a foamer head on a waterless wash.

to be honest pressure washers are available for very low costs - even cheaper if you look in your local free ads paper - seen some locally for £10/15

got to be far more effective than foam in a can and far cheaper?

Can't see it working tbh. It would be a very dry foam if able to cover an entire car from one can.
