Car Wash - Prewash & Snow Foam

We recommend a pre-wash before a mitt wash to remove the main contaminants, and grit.  There are different opinions on the best process, and whatever works for you is great, but we suggest foaming over the vehicle while it is still dirty, and not water blasting or hosing it first.   This reduces the risk of scratches as you water blast the dirt off..  the soap not only helps make it remove more dirt, but also ads lubrication.  Foam over the dirt and mud, let the soap dwell for a few minutes, often 5minutes depending on the soap (check the bottle), and then water blast off.  this will remove more dirt and grit, and will reduce the scratch risk.  

For some people this may be enough, but normally this will not be enough to remove everything, so a second wash with a mitt or pad will normally be needed.  the biggest factor here is not the soap but the layers on the car, if you have layers of ceramics and/or sealants and waxes it will be a lot easier and quicker to remove dirt as the surface will be slipperier and smoother than normal paint that is quite porous, so dirt gets in the pores making it harder to clean.  

You can use a snow foam for a hand wash as well, however we recommend a different soap for this as by then the vehicle is cleaner, you don't need the foam to cover and soak like in a pre wash, but then you are wanting to clean fully and importantly get the most shine and protection.  The higher end chemicals to add protection and shine tend to inhibit foam production, so a lower foaming soap for the main wash tends to clean better and give more protection and shine.  For example, Autostolz Premium car wash doesn't foam or bubble much at all, so you feel it's not doing much, but once you have washed, 

Some soaps try to do both at the same time, but inevitably face trade offs.  Your best option is to have a dedicated Pre wash Snow Foam, and a separate dedicated whine/protection soap.  If you only want one, pic what you prefer, foam or shine and protection, but we want it all.  Chemicals are about trade offs, using the right chemical for the right job will always get you the best result.
