Cool First Autobrite Snowfoam attempts

Just thought I'd share my findings with a Autobrite Foam Lance I purchased a few weeks back via a groupbuy on Detailingworld.

Hooked up to my Nilfisk pressure washer. I put a couple of inches of Autobrite snowfoam into the bottom of the foam bottle and topped up with warm water. Connected to the pressure washer and this was the results.





Lovely thick coating of foam which I left to dwell for 10-15 minutes by which time most of it had run off and taken a huge amount of the grime with it. Then rinsed off with just the pressure washer.
Really helped to shift the loose dirt and loosen the more ground in stuff. Once It had been fully rinsed It was a matter of doing the usual 2 bucket routine. The rinse bucket was hardly dirty at all, showing what a great job the Autobrite foam and lance had done.

Highly recommended If you've got a pressure washer.

Seen These phtotos on detailingworld, so many tips on there, I enjoy detailing my Subaru, it's forgotten it's rally background. Have you tried the new auto finesse citrus spray? That's good winter time at removing all the grim without removing wax and sealents

Just been speaking with Mark from Autobrite and he's given me details of a groupbuy that he will make avb to Scoobynet members on both the foam lances & Bottles but also the snowfoam they produce as well.

Have a look at the Groupbuy section soon
