I know there is loads of info and videos on the net, but I have a pressure washer with a detergent bottle attachment and am thinking about getting some fairly cheap snow foam to try it. Prefer to get the views of those that have used it….

When I first tried it I thought it was rubbish I was expecting it to miraculously bring the car to a showroom shine with a rinse. Then I spoke to my valet guy he asked me to rub my hand over my 4 weeks dirty car and feel the roughness. Idea is as above if you can lift as much of that gritty dirt off before you start rubbing a sponge over it you reduce the prospect of paint damage. It also helps increases the life of ceramic coats etc.

As everyone else has indicated, there is no magic "remove all dirt and grime" with snow foam, there is no replacement for a good contact wash.

I use it. I soak the car then leave it to fall and drag the dirt with it. Rinse the car then go at it with the mitt and a bucket of soapy water.

Snowfoam does help, it sticks to the car and the dirt giving it time to gently lift the dirt from the body or soften it's attachment at least. It does need to be applied with a proper snowfoam attachment though, air is mixed with the solution to foam rather than just soapy water that the detergent bottle would do.
I spray it on with the snowfoam attachment, leave it for a while, rinse off, then shampoo in the normal way, whatever is your preferred method.

I usually snow foam mine, but not always. As others have said, it does work and is a good pre-wash, gets loads of grime off if the car is really dirty. One thing though, if you're thinking of using it in the pressure washer detergent bottle, I don't think it will foam, you need a proper foam lance. Drives:

The snow foam I have is called 'snow foam pre wash' https://www.jennychem.com/products/cherry-...10-1000ltr |

Well I’ve ordered 10 litres of not too expensive snow foam, to see if I like the concept. I then looked at the instructions for the pressure washer I have to see it’s just a detergent additive bottle, for use on decking etc, not a foamer. I’ve thus ended up buying a snow foam lance, see how we go.
