Snowfoam Dilution

[Beef-Mc]

How much does everyone use? I've read numerous differfent answers, some say just use an inch of it in the bottle undiluted, others say use about an inch then fill up the bottle with hot water.

Can anyone give me a definitive answer or what will give the best results.

I use a inch, and fill the rest of the bottle with hot water.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Well that's one for that method.

Anyone use it un diluted then?

Half an inch to an inch in the bottom filled with warm water for me. Seems to mix better with warm water giving a better foam.

I agree with warm water definitely. It's just not as good cold. Especially as I've only got a hose fed snow foamer, not a power washer one.

Inch of foam and hot water it is, cheers guys.

+ 1 Although if i am doing a Big wash on a very dirty car, i use 1" Snow Foam, Topped up with 1" of Car Shampoo then fill the bottel up with warm water for a super thick foam

Use 1 part product to 100 parts water, so about half to an inch is right....hope this helps. all products do have a dilution ratio label to help you

Bottle recommends a rate of 5:1 off the top of my head, was just that I'd heard of people using it neat.

yeah about 1" then rest warm water

Inch of snow foam in the lance's bottle, rest with warm water. If you use it undiluted it will just bubble rather than foam, and you will get through tons of the stuff!!

I also set mine a turn back from fully positive on the lance, that seems to give me best results.

same as jd, although i add a splash of sour power.

 

[JD]

I heard sour power eats through wax and clearcoat?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Going out to give it a try the now, was pissing it down earlier.

Add a splash of APC too... works wonders!

sure u ment clearcoat Jamie?

 

[jay s]

i do mine at 10:1 , so put in 100ml neat snow foam then 900ml warm water (fills the bottle ) with a touch of shampoo and makes loads of foam which eats through all but the toughest s**t...

since when?! not to my knowledge it doesnt

Do you lads find that the snow foam ever stains the tarmac or slabs on your driver??

Only reason i ask is that i'm looking into getting a snowfoam lance but my car gets parked in a communal area so didn't wanna stain the floor.

 

[VIICarCare]

no it doesnt, you should be fine mate

I would have thought it'd clean it... so if the carpark is fairly dirty then people may notice a nice clean rectangle!

Hopefully so as it's got compound and drippings of WD40 and brake cleaner in my space :quiet:

 

[Farrowv6]

Do you have to pressure washer it of, or will normal hose work aswell ??????

 

[Farrowv6]

^^ ??

 

[Ad172UK]

I'd imagine a normal hose would do it mate!
