New snowfoam recommendation?

dar83

So, I'm just abotu to run out of my snow foam supply and it's time to order some goodies.

Any recommendations for a good foam? I'm looking for an effective one, not a showy one. So I want it to loosen/pull the dust dirt off the car more than look like the top of a baby bathtub, although that is also welcome if both can be had. :pac:

Any recoomendations then? What are you guys using these days?

What are you using or have used in the past?

I've used both of the following:

ValetPRO - pH Neutral Snow Foam. - good foaming, lacked quite a bit in effectiveness though.

CleanCar.ie Super Snow Foam - Decent foam and decent cleaning, have been using this mostly for the last 18 months, just about to run out of it though!

Meguiar's Hyperwash. It can also be used as a regular shampoo.

Interesting, may add that to the list.

Would have said the same about Valet Pro...all show and not much cleaning ability.

No experience with the Clean Car snowfoam.

AB Magifoam is good at cleaning but was surprised at how quickly it stripped off the freshly applied wax on the car.

AB Superfoam isnt as good at cleaning but is a bit safer for your protection.

Megs Hyperwash isnt too bad and has the advantage of doubling up as MM said.

OAC Cotton Candy is a good balance of cleaning and foam

CG’s Mr.Pink doubles up as both, though probably better as a shampoo. Their Honeydew snowfoam is supposed to be OK, though no experience of it...must try it.


If you are looking for something touchless, that is, foam and rinse, job done....you're not really going to get it, unless its light dust from a few miles of driving in good weather, and especially if you want something that wont strip protection. If you arent worried about protection, because you aint got any or you use a spray on top up protection product, then some of the Pre Cleaners might be a better option.

I have tried quite a few and to be honest I recall this being the best so far.

Yeah I do quite like it, was just wondering if there is anything else out there that might top it. Also asking because it's currently out of stock on their website and I have the itch to buy stuff soon!

I seen demon foam in halfords today. It was 2lt's for €11. I don't know how good it is I've only been using mr pink thus far. It's fecking awesome stuff .

Demon Foam is supposed to be nothing but absolute crap.

dar83

In fairness for the good products Halfords sometime have (Meguairs and some select premium Autoglym), most of the stuff in there is complete crap.

I've still not gotten around to ordering stuff, but I think it looks like being some new snow foam, possibly some Jetseal 109 or Chemical Guys blacklight then possibly some flavour of the month Collonite 845. We shall see. :P

I'm running low on CleanCar Super Snow Foam but have picked up CG Honeydew in its place. Good cling and cleaning in both to be fair, can't really tell the difference.
