Shampoo snow foam!

Lancpudn · 6th September 2016, 15:03

I've been testing my power washer with the detergent dispenser, I had a bit of turtle wax shampoo left & tried that, It worked very well so I've ordered 5ltr of snow foam with wax shampoo off ebay. I'll report back if it's any good.

I use it all the time, I hose it down first, then the foam.

Ah right! I've never used the stuff before, The Chevy was splattered purple this morning, there are a lot of elderberries out across the back & the power washer shifted the stuff very well. it'll also save me getting frowned at for using all the washing up liquid.

I've got to start using my Karcher, I still end up at my local petrol station using their Jet Wash.

They have just had a new machine installed and its brilliant, great fun to go through all the options, also does a much better job than my Karcher.

I use snow foam with my Karcher K2 using their detergent attachment. It works really well.
I usually use AutoGlym snow foam, it works well, you can see it drawing the dirt off the car and even the tyre walls. It softens flies too which makes them easier to remove with the wash mitt.
I got some apple scent foam off eBay, it doesn't work as well but, it smells lush

Well I tried the snowfoam detergent that I ordered off Ebay & it wasn't very snowfoamy!

I don't know if you need a special type of dispenser to use it with! I just used the one that came with the power washer.

I tried it out on my daughters Renault Megane first

just in case it stripped the paintwork lol.

I let it sit for a few minutes then used the wash mitt & power washed it off, it cleaned it very well & left the bodywork beading

The skin on my hands is a bit tight & I'm wondering if it's a tad strong caustic wise!

EDIT: Just researched these snow foam lance bottles & ordered one off Ebay that will fit my pressure washer.
