snow foam with wax ?
Looking for a 25ltr container off snow foam/wax, couple seen on ebay around £35 delivered, anyone used this one ?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-VALET-C...UAAOxydINSVr0h
never used a snow foam with a wax within it before any difference noticed in the real world with the added wax ?

Ive always used the snow foam as a pre wash, then wash as normal (Clay if needed) then cleansed with something like Autoglym SRP and then the protective wax, my favourite is finishkare FK1000p which can be used on wheels aswell.
Not sure id want to use a snow foam with a wax as i cant see the cleaning power as a pre wash being the same but cant comment as never used one.

Okay thanks for your input, anyone else found a snow foam in this 25ltr size similar in price worth considering? anyone else used snow foam with wax ?

I've been using this:
Really nice stuff and I've noticed that since I've started using it, I'm getting better water beading for longer between proper wax applications. No substitute for proper wax of course, but I think it can help a bit in between

Physically impossible for a wax to be suspended within a snowfoam.
You can add ingredients within shampoo (Gyeon QM2 Bathe+) which have hydrophobic properties and help to protect after the wash stage but they're not waxes.
They contain Si02 Polymers (similar to those found in a ceramic coating but at a hugely lesser percentage)
I'd imagine the snowfoam you're talking about would be similar.
If you're looking for a quick and easy way to protect your car then the Gyeon shampoo above or Gyeon Wetcoat would be by suggestion.

Okay cheers for the comments that's great, going to forget the combined snow foam and wax idea and just get a decent snow foam !! anything in the 25ltr size at a decent price out there ? is it actually worth adding a mix off car wash in with the snow foam itself ?
appreciate that snow foam is a meant to be pre wash treatment but still use it as an non contact car wash inbetween decent washes where it will at least leave the car semi clean !

Envy Bubbly Jubbly is great value in 25 Litres and a good snowfoam.
I add citrus prewash into mine if I'm carrying out a detail where keeping the lsp in safe isn't important as it adds a bit of extra bite.
By adding shampoo to it all it'll do is thicken the foam but not really aid the cleaning ability
