Snow Foam
Why Use Snow Foam?
Snow foam helps break down and loosen dirt before the contact wash stage, helping reduce the risk of swirl marks and light scratches caused by dragging contamination across the paintwork.
By softening contamination first, it allows dirt to be safely rinsed away during the pre-wash phase rather than during shampooing. This proves especially beneficial during winter months or when vehicles accumulate significant road grime and salt deposits.

Snow Foam FAQs
Everything you need to know about snow foam.
What does snow foam do?
Snow foam helps loosen dirt, traffic film, and grime before contact washing. This helps reduce the amount of contamination left on the paintwork before using a wash mitt and shampoo.
Does snow foam remove all dirt?
Snow foam is designed to loosen and soften contamination before the main wash stage. While it may not remove everything on its own, it significantly improves wash safety and prepares the surface for contact washing.
Do I need a snow foam lance?
Most snow foams are designed to be used with a snow foam lance connected to a pressure washer. This helps create the thick foam needed to safely coat and clean the vehicle effectively.
Is snow foam safe on waxes and sealants?
Yes. pH neutral snow foams are designed to clean safely without stripping existing waxes, sealants, or protection layers during regular maintenance washing.
