snow foaming!

Recommended Posts

yo guys, just a quick pic, and a lil write up!

 

my gf bought me a lil karcher Jetwash for xmas, and a Snow foam lace also! :D

 

so off i went, after speaking to joe about how much stuff to use, now i havnt bought any Snowfoam liquid, as there isnt no need so i got told :)

 

so i use some Duragloss 901 shampoo, (2 caps, mixed with warm water)

 

had a play about, fine tuning so to say with the lance, wanted a steady flow of foam and came out quite well! well worth the money and recommend to anyone!

 

still need to fine tune the lance and find the right dilution ratio and should be onto a winner! :D

 

heres a couple of pics!

covered the whole car, not bad for a first attempt, and just using a duragloss 901 solution and warm water! no full car pictures unfortunatly, but it was white! as u can tell by the spray and on the floor around the car!

 

gotta get the dilution ratio right, and the have a proper play with the lance settings to make it thicker :)

 

left to dwell for 5-10mins to see how it performed, and was impressed!

then rinsed off, and was impressed, a non contact wash, which got rid of light muck on the motor! the megs nxt 2.0 wax is holding up well :)

 

go get a snowfoam lance! and a small karcher pressure washer! great fun!

it does work mate! but that was just with shampoo in the lance, with warm water, not the best mixture, but only wanted to test and see how it came out, came out alrite :)

 

get some proper ph neutral snow foam and will be a thick foam, which cleans alot better during the dwelling period, where the shampoo just seemed to run off the car, where the proper snowfoam mixture holds on to the paintwork longer :)

 

and a good wax really helps protect the car, ive found it so much easier to clean, preped the paintwork with some SRP then applied 2 coats of megs nxt 2.0 wax, and its holding up well :)

 

*hicksy* it depends on how well the car is protected etc, with the right paint prep work, and various waxs, washing becomes easier, and in some cases a touch free clean, which is what the scooby has at the moment,

 

ill get a pic tomorrow to show how it looks after a non contact wash, it had a light covering of dirt, but it got rid of it :)

on my car i used the carlack 68 two coats of it, then 3 coats of collinite 885 fleetwax. but the Shite still sticks to it ;(

 

should slide straight off that mate :O

 

i dont use my car that much, so that might be why chap :)

 

give it a go though, well worth it :)

 

at the mo ive got 2 coats of NXT 2.0 wax (preped the paint with autoglym srp)
