During the more recent of my 50 years of cleaning cars I've thought about snow foam but never got round to doing anything about it. But reading so many comments in this forum that included praise of the technique, and now having a Karcher K7, I took the plunge and bought a lance and some jollop (you can tell I know all the terminology now). But before subjecting my C350's lovingly cared for black paintwork to my new toys, I thought it best to check up on how to use the stuff. So off I went to YouTube and ploughed through a few rubbish videos before getting to this guy who seemed to know his stuff. https://youtu.be/Fmp6Hw9pH4s
It's not the most exciting presentation and takes at least twice as long as needed, but still informative for a total novice like me. But well over half way through we get to a bit where he tells us that snow foam is hardly any better than just water!! But he also said he still uses it, without explaining why. I was hoping snow foam would make my life easier when cleaning the car because I suffer with a very bad back and all the bending I have to do just makes it worse. So will I be wasting time and effort using my new toy?
(As a slightly connected aside, I've just seen my neighbour wash his new to him car. Immediately after washing a front wheel with an old cloth, he quickly dipped it into his bucket of soapy water - washing up liquid possibly? - and ran the cloth over the bonnet. He continued in the same random, grit sharing manner. I had to chuckle - after all, it's only a Vauxhall - but I know that it would have made many of you cry.)
