@MrSavvynet4 жыл бұрын
Having used a number of snow foams over the years I’ve generally found these don’t strip the dirt as much as a TFR OR Citrus Pre Wash/APC would - the argument being snow foam is about softening and lifting dirt in prep’ for the contact wash rather than as a stripper. However that all changed when I switched to Bilt Hamber Snow Foam - it’s effectively all 3 products in one. Sooo clean you could really leave it at the snow foam wash if you had a dryer or a filtered water rinse and didn’t have to contact dry with a towel. Whatever they use it’s powerful stuff.

@TheCeki19824 жыл бұрын
It contains - caustic soda - it is used, among other things, for the saponification of fats, for cleaning and unblocking. It is also a widely used means of adjusting the pH. Preparing caustic soda of known concentration requires that the solution be set to a standard. Solid sodium hydroxide can be used, but because this substance is highly hygroscopic, it is not possible to determine the concentration of a solution gravimetrically in advance. A weighed amount of solid sodium hydroxide will always contain an unknown amount of moisture. Therefore, a 50% aqueous solution is more often used. Dilutions thereof must also be made, because such solutions also attract moisture - albeit to a lesser extent. In addition, carbon dioxide from the air also easily dissolves in sodium hydroxide solution. A solution of sodium carbonate is then formed. The setting is often done by titration against potassium hydrogen phthalate, because this is a solid acid whose mass can be determined well gravimetrically. Oxalic acid is also used as such as an original titre substance.

I'm pretty new to all this (been learning a lot from channels such as yours!) and I've been experimenting with AF Avalanche and Citrus Power. The combination of both seems very effective, but Citrus Power appears the more effective of the two. However, it takes a lot of Citrus Power to cover a car making it pretty expensive in comparison to Avalanche! For that reason I typically just use Citrus Power on the lower panels when the car is really ditry with a layer of Avalanche over the top.

Applied with hand sprayer or snow foam lance( work out the ratio of yours first though) I use a big bio blower after for a touch less wash and dry, which is all that’s needed in the winter. Tbh if you’re going to hand wash anyway then foaming is a waste of time. As the video shows it’s barely distinguishable from jet washing alone.

Hi Matt, Don't think you can say one or the other is better, depend on the level of grim, a damp muddy car cleans up easier that a car that has dried on traffic film for a week. I use both but tend to adjust to foam and APC as the dirt requires, dried on heavy road film I will use APC/Citrus as a base and foam over the top, as you say Citrus and APC can be harsher on the LSP but you would have to test 2 cars or panels over a period of time, 1 with snow foam only and 1 with APC or Citrus only. An interesting and thought provoking video, nice one

I'd argue that whilst APCs/snow foam are both pre wash products, they don't necessarily replace eachother. I'd say you should snow foam pretty much any time you're going near the car with a mitt, depending on how dirty it is. If the car hasn't move in a fortnight and it's just dust on it, then you could probably safely forego the pre wash and just give it a good thorough rinse before washing (or even just a rinse might suffice). Citrus or APC pre washes are a bit stronger. I apply these to a dry dirty car so they're more effective, but like any soapy product, they must not be left to dry. A citrus pre wash can be used on tougher dirt and then accompanied by snow foam afterwards, or directly on top of the citrus to give it more working time.
@Planehazza4 жыл бұрын

From my own experience 90% of Ph neutral snow foams lack the bite to do anything at all on heavily soiled vehicles, especially when it comes to winter road film. However, Bilt Hamber's rather potent 'Auto-Foam' is pretty much the king of snow foams when it comes to out-and-out cleaning power without effecting waxes or sealants, and it really does impact heavy winter road film like no other. For those who aren't as concerned with LSP protection then something like the APC Koch Chemie Greenstar at 10:1 is very effective indeed! and has the added bonus of corrosion inhibitors for those more delicate areas and stone chips etc. Citrus pre washes such as Angelwax Cleanliness at 5:1 and Valet Pro Citrus pre-wash at 5:1 are also quite effective - far more so than the standard Ph neutral snow foams, which seem to be better suited to removing very light deposits in summer etc.

An APC will remove your wax/sealant. That’s actually one purpose of an APC. Another is to remove road film. If I have a baked on road film on the bottom third of the car I will use APC to get rid of it, then snow foam entire body, hand wash with several mitts, rinse, dry, and reapply the sealant. I don’t want to put sealant over road film.

At 20% it cleans tires better then Gyeon Tire Cleaner. You can even use it at a 1% dilution. But most of the time I use a bottle with 5%. Or I add 1 or 2% to Bilt-Hamber Autofoam or Touch-Less for extra cleaning power. Poorboy's World APC+D is also great, but not as good as Surfex. Stjarnagloss Gummi for tire dressing is great tho.👍
