🧼 What Is Snow Foam?
Snow foam is a pre-wash product designed to loosen and lift dirt, grime, and contaminants from your car before you physically touch the paint.
It’s applied with a foam cannon or lance and blankets the vehicle in a thick, clinging layer of foam.
The purpose? Minimise the chance of swirl marks and scratches by removing loose particles before you begin hand washing.
⚙️ How Does Snow Foam Work?
When applied through a foam lance, snow foam expands and clings to your vehicle's surface.
As it dwells (typically 5–10 minutes), the foam softens and breaks down road grime, traffic film, and other contaminants.
Then, it’s simply rinsed off — taking all the loosened dirt with it.
🧪 Why pH-Neutral Foam Is Important
Many low-cost snow foams can be too alkaline, risking the removal of wax, sealants, or damaging delicate finishes.
Our Synergy Snow Foam is pH-neutral, meaning:
-
It’s safe on waxed, ceramic-coated, or unprotected paint
-
Won’t strip protection layers
-
Safe to use regularly
🧽 When Should You Use Snow Foam?
Snow foam should always be your first step in the contactless wash routine. It’s designed to lift loose dirt and contaminants before you lay a mitt on your paint — reducing the risk of scratches and swirls.
For best results:
Apply snow foam after a citrus pre-wash, like VorteX. The citrus cleaner tackles the heavier grime, while the snow foam softens and lifts any remaining residue, creating the ultimate prep stage before shampooing.
Use with:
-
A pressure washer
-
A proper foam lance (like our Glacier Wide Mouth Foam Cannon)
-
In cool, shaded conditions to prevent premature drying
