I had exactly the same results as you did with foam - however I'm now using it as a pre-wash. I have found that it helps to soften dirt, but as an alternative to washing I'm not convinced.Well despite inbuilt natural resistance to such sales techniques (Im so far up my owm a**e i know better) I joined the many on here and bought what Charlie recommended
In both foam and applicator tool, and am 100% happy that it does indeed make super looking foam and is great fun to apply
BUT
What is it supposed to do??
My Missus has a white A3 and it gets filthy, my thoughts were rather than drag all that crap around the paintwork with the sponge i would "Foam " it off
Well Im just the right side of 65 and confess to having washed a good few cars in my life in the Motor trade,
BUT
again what is this snow foam supposed to do?
After a good foam and 2 min soaking, When jetted of it looks almost the same, Filthy, so get a bit closer
with the pressure washer (now close enough to remove decals and some wheel silver)
BUT
The S**ts still there
Ah well out with the bucket and sponge, Much better
Until now I have not seen or had the opportunity to ask what it is im doing wrong, clearly, hopefully im doing something wrong
Maybe just expecting too much, I was expecting after rinsing off the foam to find a clean car
And for the record I made no complaints to or challenged Charlies skills or knowledge, so am not the, or one of the Saddo's in question (This Time) perhaps when he is back from his vacation he will enlighten me

I know a few car detailers (Don't forget that this was also Charlie's business) and they swear by the use of snow foam. I think the degree of success has a lot to do with the mixture itself. As above, it does do a very good job of softening any dirt and makes it really easy to remove but I'm still experimenting.I had exactly the same results as you did with foam - however I'm now using it as a pre-wash.

I think it may also be more effective if used with a pressure washer for rinsing, but I don't use a pressure washer on the vanI know a few car detailers (Don't forget that this was also Charlie's business) and they swear by the use of snow foam.

I use a pressure washer on the van but with the pressure turned right down so that it gives a gentle spray.I think it may also be more effective if used with a pressure washer for rinsing, but I don't use a pressure washer on the van

That's West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire people speak proper likeYorkshire? That would be an 'ose then.
Or is it t'ose ?
Collinite 476S is excellent, very quick and easy to use.Have to have a think about the wax side of things at some point point but the foam nozzle kit worked very well. We did 3 cars and the van, in just over 2 hours and are pleased with the results both in finish and effort required
