Snow foam does nothing other than linger on the drive for hours* and makes your neighbours think you're an odd ball. Better off rinsing the car with a hose gun on the shower setting then jet washing it before contact washing, it is waste of time and money ime.
*bilt hamber snow foam doesn't do this i should add.

I disagree... by the time you've jet washed the snow foam residue off the car, two bucket washed it and then jet wash rinsed it again, the snow foam has disappeared off the drive. Any that remains is easily swilled away with an additional bucket of water. Simply rinsing the car on a shower setting at the beginning, will not shift the dust and roadfilm that you will then grind into your paintwork when contact washing. Snow foam or some other pre-wash treatment (if you prefer) begins the process of lifting the dirt off the car without contact. The less dirt there is on the car when you eventually use the wash mit, the better!
the guys thinking more is better are completely wrong. i know people that have tested near enough every foam on the market. the best they say is one that doesn't produce a lot of foam. remember what the purpose is here. to lift off dirt not to create foam. there is no point having a lot of foam if the dirt doesn't come off with it.
so i think the people who are posting loads of foam have the wrong idea and are also giving the wrong idea out to others. especially to the doubters that day it does nothing. it will do nothing if your using the wrong products. i.e. all show and no go.
the best bang for buck i'm told is bilt hamber auto foam. £25 for 5 litres should last you a year or two. there are better for more expensive but this is what most people use because it removes quite a lot of the dirt and is relatively cheap. you also want to get a proper snow foam lance, don't use the one that comes with your pressure washer. again they aren't cheap usually around £25 each.
