Snow Foam, which one ?

I’ve been putting it off but time for the old girl to have a proper clean, she’s filthy 😳 I’ve got a good quality snow foam lance for my Karcher but haven’t bought the foam. So looking for recommendations for a decent foam. Thanks.

Bilt Hamber (with black label) is best value

I've not tried the blue label one. Must be new

I bought the Autoglym set last year with my Crimbo vouchers. It’s my first experience with it and I found it great. However that Karcher foam bottle thing was an Censored if I’m honest. The yellow washer kept staying in the gun and I ended up with a cone of water coming out of the gun join.

I’ll be honest I did look up reviews on decent snow foam lance bottles and ended up with a Pro Kleen one, all brass fittings and excellent.

I have always liked the Gtechniq range, although their prices seem to have creeped up as they have grown in popularity.

The results using Auto Glym Pollar Blast. Absolutely love it apart from I’ve got to take the dog out up the country lanes later so it won’t last 😂

Bilt hammer gets my vote, not been able to find one with a better cleaning power & that is safe for ceramic coatings etc. Get a good pre wash too, that will help. I use a citrus one, can’t remember the name of it but it’s great diluted down in a large spray or foaming bottle and sprayed all over the car left to soak then rinse & snow foam and so on Thumbs Up

This guy tests all the detailing products for us.

He will rank them in order of how good they are, and which is the best value for money

Used both Bilt Hamber and the autoglym polarblast and although I’m a massive fan of Bilt products the autoglym wins for me. Both were mixed as per instructions but autoglym seemed to grip and you could see the foam turn brown on the dirt. Also use bilts surfex hd, has to be one of the best all rounders available. Picture is from leaving foam on for far to long btw…

I’m not seeing a good foam consistency in any of the above pics.
Perhaps the trigger gun settings aren’t adequate.

When I foam my Corris D4, it’s a much heavier consistency and the D4 looks white.

Not sure which brand I use, and can’t be @rsed to get off my comfy seat to go out and check. Wink
