I want a foam gun thing, but I'm not paying 50 sheets for a brass nozzle and a 50p plastic bottle, what a complete skank off! The manufacture costs must be no more than a tenner at the most, someones making a mint. £50 is half the price of a bloody Karcher!

Not that it'll be any different from just heavily soaping up a wash mitt or speed up the weekly car cleaning session, I just want one for the sheer pleasure of covering my car in foam and giving the neighbors something to talk about :D

What shampoo foams up the most? I'm using Megs NXT stuff, it's brill, but I want Loads of pink suds on my rims 8-)

Of course it will.... The whole idea of snow foam is to lift the dirt before the mitt is actually placed on the car, therefore reducing the risk of swirls etc. Then once the dirt is lifted pressure wash that off so the car is cleaner before its been physically touched.

Most shampoo's will foam up, but actual designed snow foams will foam better and be more effective in cleaning/lifting the dirt

Its not just about the looks 8-)

edit -
Quote:
This Super Snow Foam is designed to create a thick blanket of foam when used through a foaming device. It is completely safe on all paint, does not strip wax.
The advantage of foam is that it can be applied to the vehicle and left to dwell for a prolonged cleaning effect. Dirt and grime is enclapsulated and removed reducing the need for contact washing.
