Kent. Why didnt you warn me it was vag content.

Saw your snow foam pics on FB. Just a little tip. Thicken the mixture up just a tiny bit more. You want to be able to spray it on, go and have a cuppa and come back to it almost all off. Dont want it to be running off almost as quick as water
Otherwise, looking very good!

cheers mate. Tbh the stuff I got is crap. I think it had already been diluted. I did 250ml snow and rest water and it wasnt very good. At which point I thought it was ready mixed. So I tried it again with just the snow and it worked great but becuase it was already wet it didnt stay on too long.
Tried 50/50 mix on mrs car and was just right.
Thats her having a go.
Thats after about 5 minutes.

Snow foam before you jet wash the car. Mixture wise about an inch of product couple of drops of shampoo then Luke warm water. Tip upside down to mix then attach turn the top nozzle right down to really thicken the foam. Front nozzle is how far it spreads. Where possible do it in the shade to it slows the product down

It was snow foam first dude. Like I say the stuff I bought just isnt good enough. I did my dads with about 250ml at first which is about quarter. But was too
runny.
But did the mrs with 50/50 mix which was much better. I know people use 40ml of snow so the stuff I have is weak.
The van has been painted at some point it has a lot of filler in places its far from perfect. But hes thinking next year of getting a new one with better body work. He didn't realise how bad it was to I cleaned it
My rotary polish comes this week. Ordering a correction kit as well so well give it another go over soon.
Thanks for advice appreciate it.

I thought the same so I tried it. To start with but worth it. Lifts the dirt of the car so you don't have to put a sponge to car as often.
Oh and is major fun!
Carplan demon shine have the own with attachment for house pipe for £11 at halfords recommend giving it a try.

Check the video it gives a basic outline of what it's for.
Valet pro ph neautral snow foam is good and cheap.

This is correct for a highly detailed and maintained car the ore wash stage is the cars most contaminated state going gun ho with a jet wash is asking for scratches

Kind of yes but car has to have a good layer of protection to work that good.
Carplan do a hosepipe attachment for £11 with foam. Not sure what its like.
For jetwash you need.
Pressure washer (obviously)
Snow foam lance £40-50
Snow foam £20 for 5 liters.
Worth it is its fun
