ok if you want your wax / protection removed, the snow foam is designed not to strip wax TFR will, so each time you will have to re polish which will not only be more work but no real saving ,

I hope it's not the HD TFR that we stock where I work, ok for washing LGV's but I wouldn't let it anywhere near car paintwork.

I've seen prolonged use of TFR give paintwork an almost cloudy finish, as long as you're happy carry on.

If you use something like the Magifoam from Autobrite and dilute it 10:1 then it will not strip the wax. only if you use something like poor boys will it then bee strong enough to strip the wax.
Also if you are using an APC before snow foaming you will also strip the wax.

hope this helps
