Nice results, but u are suppose to wash the car after foaming. Foaming just loosens/lift the dirt to avoid swirl marks when washing.

Yep have to say looked immaculate even prior to cleaning :-) and yes snow foam is supposed to be a pre wash method but used itself ie.no actual hand washing off the car will provide decent results.

Where does it say you have to wash after ?
If the car is clean no reason, Its why I use Snow foam, I dont touch the car after foaming with a wash mitt, if it wasnt clean then I would but as mentioned If you use the right SF and a good PW your car should be clean after a Pre wash

Yes it’s a pre wash – I wouldn’t rely on snow foam to remove all contaminants BEFORE waxing, it would need to be complimented with a hand wash prior to waxing.

I used CYC super snow foam , I didnt wash it after wards as the car was pretty clean and the snow foam cleaned it brilliantly.

I dont have pics of the snow foam however I will get some soon as I use it again, It was very thick and stuck like glue, left it for 10 minutes then rinsed. Had the most fun cleaning a car ever lol.

Then I simply used auto glym super resin polish on the paintwork. Used auto glym wheel cleaner kit on the wheels and fast glass on the windows

The snow foam lance from cleanyourcar.co.uk was brilliant, adjustable and easy to use considering it was my first time

So you just polished the bodywork & didn't wax it after

^ what AbbasSTI said - get some wax on there - at the moment your paintwork isnt protected too well without a wax
