CarPlan Demon Snow Foam Car Shampoo with Gun, 2 L

Product Information

After testing several formulas, we found that the best snow foam is the Autoglym Polar Blast, which produces high-density foam that clings to the paintwork for far longer and effectively prewashes your car. However, if you want a snow foam that offers better value, the Pro-Kleen Cherry (as pictured above from our testing) is the best alternative. There are far superior products for cleaning power and we are unsure of the PH properties of Demon Foam. Pretty much any car shampoo can be used in a pressure washer. We have never come across one that you can’t use in one. Once you return, you’ll need to rinse it off, but the bodywork should be substantially cleaner, and importantly comparatively free from dirt and grit, allowing you to finish the job with a cloth and shampoo followed by a coat of wax. Another helpful feature is that most snow foams will gently lubricate the bodywork, meaning that you’re less likely to leave scratches or swirl marks.

Like any good pre-wash, when you rinse it off, the cleaning agents in the foam will have worked away at the grime and makes the subsequent task of washing easier and more successful. Most snow foamers will use it in conjunction with a snow foam lance attachment to their pressure washer, but you can also use them with a manual spray bottle or a garden hose attachment. It’s easy to see snow foam as an alternative to shampoo and a replacement for traditional cleaning when it’s actually designed as a supplement. That’s not to say there are snow foams capable of washing a car, but it’s not the best course of action. What should I look for in a good snow foam? You should never use washing up dish soap to clean your car with. It can strip wax protection, promote oxidation and could wear other parts of your prematurely. As mentioned above, most users will apply their snow foam through a specific lance attachment for their pressure washer. These aren’t always universal, so make sure you choose one that’s compatible with yours. They usually have a bottle into which you’ll pour the snow foam concentrate. And depending on the size of your car, this may need to be refilled several times.

There are plenty of good pressure washers on the market. But if you’re on a tight budget, you can try a pump-operated pressurised spray bottle instead. Just bear in mind that you might not get the same spectacular results. What you shouldn’t use in a pressure washer to clean a car though is washing up liquid. Dish soap can stop the wax and wear the paintwork as well as other parts of the car and ruin the aesthetic. Compared to a standard car wash shampoo, snow foam is designed to be used as a pre-wash solution. This means that it loosens and removes dirt before washing your car with a wash mitt. The purpose of this is that it helps to reduce the chances of introducing swirl marks onto the paint as there will be very little dirt left on the car.

Keeping your car exterior clean is a great way to take care of the aesthetic of your car as well as its longevity. Follow our step by step guide.Having sprayed on the foam, leave it for the recommended length, usually about five to 10 minutes. Following this, you rinse it all off. Now it’s shampooing time. Does my snow foam gun matter? Every snow foam is a little different, but in essence they’re all pH-neutral cleaning solutions that, as the name suggests, will cover your car in a dense white foamy layer. You cover the car from tip to toe – including glass, plastic trim and the wheels – and leave it to do its work. How long depends on the instructions, but is usually somewhere between five and 15 minutes. Enough for a cup of tea, in other words. data-src="https://cdn.media.amplience.net/i/washford/haluk-car-cleaning-spot1-step3-process-winter21-1382x867" product/helpAdviseTab.hbs -->

As well as our testing and experience using multiple snow foams, we also based our recommendations on the latest research and several factors. Some of the factors that we took into consideration included the foam’s effectiveness, formulation, cling ability, scent and value for money. Conclusion

Demon Wash Snow Foam Shampoo 2L

We found after a few uses, out snowfoam lance scaled up and required descaling as the foam was just not coming through. We haven't had this problem with more premium snowfoams.
