Snow foam

[riz]

I have 5litres of Autobrite Supa snow foam thats unopened. Anyone is free to make a bid and pick it up off me.

​postcode is B60

How much CP do you lot use PER wash if you were to douse the entire car in it

 

[MatthewR]

Quite a lot! I'm far too liberal with it.

Apparently the daemon shine dilutes well. I'm going to test the idea of 1:1 and if it works well ill get 5l and top it up with water in my pump sprayer. That should make application easer and quicker.

 

[Cliotoby]

What we talking about? 500ml ?

 

[Yellow Dave]

me personally 200ml max of CP for a full car, and that was on an Jag XF. the Focus typically just over 100ml. you really don't need to apply so much.

​Works well diluted 1:1 as well

 

[MatthewR]

What we talking about? 500ml ?

Around half a small bottle, just over probably. Although that was coating everywhere now I just do the wheels, lower body front bumper rear bumper bonnet and boot. I then rinse and snow foam just for s***s and giggles.

 

[JD]

I use half a bottle of CP. used more RDS this time around as it was raining and wanted to ensure the stuff worked before buying more. Next test will be 1:1 with water and in drier, dirtier conditions.

 

[yellowbelly]

Just been to another Asda and although the offer of £2.25 was on (normally £3, so still cheap) they had on the shelf.
​then I spotted one bottle right on the top where overstock is kept, shall test out this weekend

 

[JD]

Yeah I went back last night. Found two behind other products on the top shelf and asked the girl stacking shelves if they had any more. Managed five in total.

 

[yellowbelly]

The one I just went into say they've got a delivery coming in by Friday. However might go back to the other store and see if they will price match as the stores are within 10mile radius.

 

[JD]

I would. I have a few photos for Ant as well, so could send those over.

 

[Scrooge]

I got mine last night thanks mate, all on the deal. 5 bottles

 

[JD]

Schweeeet!

 

[Yellow Dave]

Just emptied my local ASDA, they only had 3x bottles but still £2.25. Thought I'd take the opportunity to try their snow foam and spray on shine as they were reduced also

 

[Scrooge]

I noticed the other stuff but thought i'd leave it, will be interesting to hear how good they are though.

 

[Yellow Dave]

will compare RDS to CP at the end of the week with a hose and pressure rinse.

Spending next week at the coast so will be nice and salty / sandy on my return so another good test for them

 

[yellowbelly]

I know the first thing I shall be doing before using the RDS is transferring it into another bottle or replacing the trigger head as mines leaked a bit.

 

[Yellow Dave]

all 3 I got were leaking when I got to the checkout, non of the spray heads had been screwed on properly

 

[JD]

Every single person who has posted on DW/CS has said the same. I checked mine when I bought the first load over the weekend and all 8 were loose. Same thing last night, another 5, all of which were loose.

Dave, be interesting to see a comparison. Since you've got a dirty car and mine doesn't move, will you do me a favour? Do four areas on the car; CP, RDS, CP1:1water and RDS1:1water.

Many thanks.

 

[Scrooge]

Mine were on right, strange, maybe the mongs in Asdas noticed them leaking.

To add to JD's request, can you do the above in a floral frock and have your mrs film it in slo mo with a go pro. ta.

Will be interesting to see how it comes out.

 

[yellowbelly]

Weather dependant I'm interested to see how they compare as my works van has been neglected so is an ideal candidate for experimentation

 

[JD]

Edit - CP and RDS I've basically done (mental pictures of how they affected the dirt/initial pressure wash down). It's the dilutions I'm most interested in.

Just had to explain to the boss why I was laughing. Thanks, Ant.

 

[Scrooge]

Haha, no problem

You got those comparison of RDS and CP pics?

Gents,

But doesn't work...!

 

[Scrooge]

I really do dislike that forum.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Will do JD. But will have to be whilst the Mrs is out. I get major abuse if I'm deemed to be geeking over car washing, taking pictures earns extra geek points.

I typically use CP 1:1 so costs are a little more comparable to neat RDS so will be interested to see a comparison.

 

[yellowbelly]

Certainly be interesting how RDS performs when diluted, could make for a seriously cheap product

Explains why Clapham Asda didnt have any today then!

 

[JD]

Sorry Ant, missed this. I didn't take any, more of a mind photo of how well CP removes grime pre pressure washer and compared that to the other day when I used RDS at the local jet wash.

I really do dislike that forum.

[Scrooge]

Ah fair enough mate.

I hate it that much it's getting to point I'm almost soley relying on this forum for any new information as I get rage everytime I go on DW.

 

[yellowbelly]

Boom, just been back to my local Asda with the receipt from the 1 bottle I purchased yesterday from another branch. Price match = clear their shelves ( granted it was only 4 bottles but hey). Can see AF CP sales dipping whilst this offer is on

 

[JD]

Explain more fella? It's £6 back up on the website. Are you saying asda price matched down from £6 to £2.25?

 

[yellowbelly]

Yeah its priced at £6 at Gloucester Asda, Cheltenham Asda have it priced at £3 but reduced to £2.25.
Showed Gloucester store my receipt from Cheltenham and they honored it.

Nice. Need to find another ASDA store then. Still, £6x3-30% = £4.20 for one litre. AF CP is £10 for one litre.

 

[Yellow Dave]

The amount I used citurs power I jumped in and bought 5l, so £7/l isn't bad, then in summer dusty conditions typically diluted 1:1 is more than adequate, £3.50/l even better.

Colchester store had another 2 bottles left today. Still advertised at £3 but till price was £2.25. Their drying towels don't seem half bad either

 

[JD]

Started looking around for the two wonder products, DS RDS and Wonder Wheels... found that Robert Dyas has stock of WW at £5.99, although I want to try this Halfords price match first with both products. If it works, I'll spend a pretty penny and shove them in the shed.

 

[Yellow Dave]

Colchester has plenty of wonder wheels also should anyone be lurking in North Essex

 

[yellowbelly]

Paid £25.09 for 8 x Hot wheels and 5 x RDS.
2 bottles of CP alone would cost me £20

 

[JD]

From Halfords? Either way, winner. I'm considering stocking up on what I can get cheaply (RDS) and trading them on here for WWHW!!
