Product Information
Full details
The Ultima Snow Foam - Bubblegum - 5L is designed for car enthusiasts seeking a superior pre-wash to prepare their vehicle's surface for a thorough cleaning. Its key benefit is the creation of exceptionally thick, clinging foam that effectively loosens dirt and grime, while a generous wax content leaves a gleaming finish. A potential caveat is that it requires a snow foam lance for optimal application, and its effectiveness is best realized as a pre-wash rather than a standalone wash solution.

FAQs
How much Ultima Snow Foam should I dilute?
The recommended dilution ratio varies by snow foam lance. Consult your lance's manual, but a common starting point is between 1:10 and 1:20 (foam concentrate to water).
Can I use this product as my only car wash soap?
While it contains wax for shine, Ultima Snow Foam is primarily designed as a pre-wash to lift dirt. For a complete clean, it is recommended to follow up with a dedicated car shampoo and wash mitt.
Is this product safe for matte paint finishes?
The non-caustic formula is generally safe for most automotive surfaces. However, always perform a spot test on an inconspicuous area first, especially with specialized finishes like matte paint.
How long should I let the foam dwell on the car?
Allow the foam to dwell for approximately 5-10 minutes. Do not let it dry completely on the surface. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.
What is the benefit of the wax in the snow foam?
The wax content helps to enhance the gloss and provide a basic level of protection to the vehicle's paintwork during the pre-wash stage, leaving a cleaner, shinier finish.
Do I need a special pressure washer for this?
You need a pressure washer compatible with a snow foam lance. The pressure washer's PSI and GPM will influence the foam quality, but standard domestic pressure washers are typically sufficient.
Troubleshooting
Foam is not thick or is watery.
Ensure correct dilution ratio is used. Check that the snow foam lance is clean and free of blockages. Verify that the pressure washer is operating at sufficient PSI for foam generation.
Product leaves streaks after rinsing.
Ensure the vehicle is thoroughly rinsed. Avoid using the product in direct sunlight or on hot panels, which can cause premature drying. Check that no cleaning residue remains on the vehicle.
Product does not seem to clean effectively.
Allow the foam to dwell for the recommended time (typically 5-10 minutes) before rinsing. For very heavy soiling, a follow-up hand wash with a quality shampoo may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use Ultima Snow Foam, dilute the concentrate with water in your snow foam lance reservoir according to the lance manufacturer's recommendations (typically a ratio between 1:10 and 1:20). Attach the lance to your pressure washer and apply an even coat of foam to the dry vehicle.
Compatibility: This product is designed for use with Karcher-compatible snow foam lances and pressure washers. The non-caustic formula makes it safe for all automotive exterior surfaces, including paint, trim, glass, and rubber.
Care: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after each use. Clean the snow foam lance regularly to prevent blockages. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with clean water after the foam has dwelled.
