Snow foam???

Looks like u need a pressure washer to be sure of a decent foam!?

Halfords do a "Demon" variant u can attach to ur hose but mixed reviews on that! Might give it a go.

http://www.autobritedirect.co.uk/index. ... -foam.html this should help.

We did my sons car when he first got it and the foam was brown as it ran off the car, you then need to wash it after then wax(old fashion hard wax) glaze and then seal it.

Yeah as said above autobrite snow foam (I use the magifoam variant) is top stuff, the pics above were after it being applied to the car and left to dwell for 10 mins, it's amazing how much crap it takes off.
