Hi, please excuse my ignorance. Am I right in assuming snowfoam is used as a prewash, and it's not expected to clean the car on its own when blasted off with a pressure washer?
I buy Turtle Wax Pro extra concentrated Wash Wax from Costco. For the last few years the price has been around £15.80 for 25 litres. The last drum was on special offer at around £12.
As a prewash I apply it with a snowfoam gun, mixed 50/50 in the bottle with water. It foams quite well but not as thick as proper snowfoam. It certainly wets and softens any dirt on the car before a proper wash with bucket of hot water with shampoo applied with lambswool mitt.
The drum of Turtle Wax lasts at least a couple of years and my car always gleams when clean.
My question is, what benefits can I expect to see if I swap to a traditional quite expensive snow foam.
I really am not trying to be a know-it-all. I'm genuinely interested to know if there's a better and easier way to do different jobs without spending a fortune.
