Snowfoam lance etc

[carcareproducts]

I use 50 ml of Duragloss Wash Concentrate to snow foam my car, and about 30 ml of the same to wash it before finishing off with Aquawax. Bought in the 3.8 L bottle it works out at about 84c for the snow foam per use, and 50c for the wash. The snow foam might be about .50c an application dearer than the Nerta, but it's not going to break the bank, and it suits me to use one product to do both jobs. The main reason I use it is that the Duragloss is ph neutral. The Nerta is a great cleaner, but it's alkaline.

To the comments of wfdtamar, we have quite a lot of customer reviews and not all make them through. Whether negative or positive we always put them through and we also contact customers after any reviews full stop (thats negative or positive again) to see why they reviewed it as such or even to why it is not working up to their expectations.

bottomscratcher is on the right line, it is alkaline and if you want to de-wax your car or de-seal if you wish its a great way as eventually it will start to diminish the coating you have and is probably recommend to top up afterwards.

Sometimes it is best to find out a little more into the product as sometimes even professionals may not be aware or assume they are using something that is good when yes its good but is it the right product for you vs the professional who could be using it for a 'different use'.

my last order was $168 incl. $10 courier delivery. container is 25 litres.

This looks quite promising. However, is the 25l their only size? That would last a decade!

I recently purchased one of these snow foam lancers cos they look great, but I'm having a bit of trouble with it.

CCP didn't have any Autobrite snow foam solution available, so I purchased the recommended 1Z Exclusiv Gloss Shampoo instead. I mixed one capful with the foam lancer bottle filled with water and attached it to a Karcher K2.180 gurney. I dialled the foam lancer all the way down (turned the knob clockwise as far as it would go, then backed off a bit) and adjusted the nozzle to give an even spray.

The stuff isn't foaming up for me It's really watery and slides straight off my car (I've got it sealed with Duragloss sealant and wax). I know the sealant and wax will make it harder for it to stick, but right now it's got pretty much the same consistency as water.

What am I doing wrong? Maybe I'm mixing too much shampoo with too little water?

Just continue experimenting with the foam mixer on the lance. CCP would've sold you the right stuff. Heck, even Meguiars NXT foams up a treat.....

Foamy vengeance



Got my Autobright foam lance on Friday, using Duragloss 901. I guess my expectations were to high, the cleaning was pretty poor. It did soften the crud so the karcher got it off ok. Took a bit of experimenting to get the right foam out of the lance.

I'll wait and see what the Autobright stuff is like when it is back in stock.

I think everyone forgets and doesn't realise it is not a "cleaning" solution. It is to help lift the dirt off slash pre-soak to remove excess dirt from the car before you wash.

Trying to make things for you as touchless as possibly when it comes down to wiping over with a mitt so you do not scratch up the paint.

Magifoam does offer a lot more foaming ability to the Snow Foam Lance that is a definite. However as mentioned by Fuzion above we do also recommend as a 'pre-wash' before you wash the car with the 2 Bucket Method. We would not say that Magifoam is a "Wash" as such.

Autobrite is the best

So I was looking into the Snow foam lance independantly of this forum and was pretty set on getting one from an online random UK seller (or from the US) but after reading this entire thread I am so impressed with CCP's atitude and response to posts in this thread that I would rather spend the extra $20 odd dollars to keep an Australian company in business who has shown such decorum.

I'll just need them to recommend foam etc, etc.
