Snow foam, best products?

[jay s]

i got myself a karcher pressure washer yesterday ( k2.21m, 110bar, 360lt/h) and will be buying one of the snow foam lance things from clean your car. what i need to know is what are the best products to buy? i normally use zymol shampoo and will probably continue to use it has it has given good results so far just need to know which chemical to add?

and sorry for sounding dumb but once the car is covered in foam you then give it a wash with a mitt, then rinse. that correct ?

what shampoo and chemicals do you use (and i dont mean in your hair ), chuck some pics up as well if you got some

 

[Fletcher]

You only need a inch of snow foam, fill the rest of the bottle with hot water.

Do you want it to clean or just look impressive?

IF you want the best cleaner, then go for Bilt Hamber Auto Foam - it's the best cleaner foam out there by FAR.

Don't keep the snow foam anywhere where it gets really cold, my stuff is now useless, might aswell piss on my car TBH.

 

[Pedro]

Is pissing on your car better then?

Might give this a try..

 

[DrR]

It's better than my "gone off" snow foam.

Was about to use my washer today when i tried to turn it on and nothing. Hvae only used it twice since buying it in Jan. Bosh aquawash.

ANyone got any ideas what to try. Have emailed the pople who i bought it off but just to see if anyone had a quick fix.
