Cherry fragrance?
Yep comes in different fragrances. But it’s not a very strong smell.
Not noticeable when rinsed off.
There are loads of different manufacturers of snow foam out there, the only reason I bought the pro-kleen was because it came with the foam lance & had good reviews

This thread cost me £40.

I must say the foam lance is a lovely piece of engineering. Not had time to try it out yeat.

Yep I paid about the same £37, snow-pro lance & 5 litres of snow foam.
Works out at just under £4 per washfor my 6m Mh But that price would drop to about £1.50 once you take the price of the lance off.

To all new snow foam users. It would be great if you could update with how you found the experience. Also thanks @Two on Tour for the links I now know where to get my next delivery from

This weekend whilst playing with my new RV, I discovered the best snow foam I have ever used. Its called Dad's stash and he keeps it locked in the workshop. Really good value for money!

I bought some pro-kleen after reading this thread, will be trying it out on my car(s) this weekend as I don't own a MH yet (still in research phase). Anything that reduces the effort of cleaning whilst avoiding the £5 a time , wheel destroying chemicals, scratchy, dirty cloth, hand cleaning places has got to be worth a go.

im a not so newbie
When you fine people have used your snow foam and dried your fine vehicle down.
Try going over it with Project 64 from Autobrite Direct.

Great stuff and helps when washing down next time.
Also watch the water run off the bodywork :)

I have no connection with the company just happen to rate this product.

They do deals on the lead up to Christmas as well (y)

On 3rd van so not a total newbie....
I have used snowfoam for about 10 years, and normally use at about 1:10 ratio, the idea is that it softens any further, and particularly over winter with salt and grit will float any scratching particles away, it should be given a few minutes to soak and fall off then pressure washed off, only then can you use normal shampoo to wash.
Snowfoam is an extra stage to the wash to orevepr any swirling and fine scratches.
A good snowfoam will not damage anything.

I've used snowfoam but folk shouldn't expect it to magically clean the vehicle. I find you still need to do something mechanical with cloth or brush to remove the grime. Snowfoam on its own won't get rid of much if say the vehicle hasn't been washed or waxed for a while.

Did you just use the ‘C’ word? In August?

I might have to come over there and slap the back of your legs. :)

I was just about to post exactly this. It’s a quick and efficient way to apply detergent. The trouble is you then have to wash quickly otherwise it dries on and causes streaks. My power washer caused the hose connector to split with only half the car done. Will de doing it again tomorrow when I’ve fixed it because the streaks are awful. It won’t retire the sponge and buckets.

I would agree once it’s been left on for 5-10 mins to lif5 the dirt, I want over with the pressure washer to rinse off the foam & then wiped down with a micro fibre cloth to take off the residual dirt.
But still a lot quicker than using a sponge & bucket & gives a good shine.
I don’t recommend using it in the sunshine as I did the car today in the sun ☀️ & if you let it dry it does cause streaking & needed to be washed down again.
