It does do something but nothing to write home about, I personally think it speeds up the wash a little bit, I wash mine off with the jet wash, but not on high pressure I have a low pressure settings if I pull the nozzle,

What I'd like to have is some snow foam that melts the muck off, but then that wouldn't be bad for the car.

Got a local guy who charges 130 for a full detail with steam clean inside and engine bay, I'll give him a go sometime, just gonna have the inside done cos it's a shed at the mo, want seats steaming full of coke stains and ice cream

Time to contribute to the thread I think!

I used Bilt Hamber snow foam throughout 2012 and ran out in early December, so today was my first wash with my new foam selection: ValetPro PH Neutral.

The foam seems much thicker than my old BH stuff, it cleared ALOT of the traffic film and grime on the car and running a mitt around the car afterwards was easy.



Some hours later:

Did I read that right, you add Bug/Tar remover in with your snowfoam mix and then lance it all on at once?

Not a bad idea - if it actually works!

Yes that's what I do, I reckon it helps a little, by how much I have no idea, my car still had tar spots etc on it when I came to clean/clay it etc but tar is a real ****** to remove anyway..
