Product Information
Full details
The Pro-Kleen Snow Foam Pre-wash Watermelon 10L is designed for car enthusiasts and detailers looking for an effective pre-wash solution to tackle stubborn dirt and grime before the main wash. Its key benefit is the production of thick, clinging foam that lifts contaminants away from the car's surface, while also leaving a shiny finish due to its wax content. A potential caveat is ensuring proper dilution ratios for optimal foam and cleaning performance.

FAQs
What is the recommended dilution ratio for Pro-Kleen Snow Foam?
The typical dilution for use in a snow foam lance is 100ml to 200ml of concentrate per liter of water in the lance's bottle. Always refer to your specific snow foam lance's instructions for precise recommendations.
Can I use this product without a snow foam lance?
While designed for snow foam lances, you could dilute it and use it as a traffic film remover applied with a spray bottle, but it will not produce the same thick, clinging foam effect. A pressure washer is still recommended for rinsing.
Is this product safe for all car finishes?
Yes, the formula is pH neutral and non-caustic, making it safe for all car finishes, including gloss, matte, and satin paints, as well as vinyl wraps. However, always perform a spot test in an inconspicuous area first.
How long should the foam dwell on the car?
Allow the foam to dwell on the car's surface for 5-10 minutes, ensuring it does not dry out. Do not let it dry completely before rinsing.
Does the wax in this product replace a separate wax application?
The wax in this formula is designed to add gloss and a slick finish after washing. It is not a substitute for a dedicated car wax or sealant, which provide longer-lasting protection.
How often should I use a snow foam pre-wash?
You can use snow foam as a pre-wash before every wash, especially if your vehicle is frequently exposed to dirt, mud, or road grime.
What is the scent of this snow foam?
This specific variant has a Watermelon scent.
Troubleshooting
Foam is not thick or clinging.
Ensure the correct dilution ratio is used. Check that the snow foam lance is functioning correctly and that the pressure washer is providing adequate pressure. Water hardness can also affect foam quality; consider using filtered or de-ionized water if you have very hard water.
Product leaves residue after rinsing.
Ensure the product is thoroughly rinsed off the vehicle. If residue persists, the dilution may have been too strong, or the product may have dried on the surface. Re-wash the affected area with a lower concentration or ensure complete rinsing.
Product seems to strip existing wax layers.
While containing wax, this is primarily a cleaning pre-wash. For vehicles with very delicate or recently applied waxes, a gentler pre-wash or a direct contact wash might be preferable. The wax in this product is designed to enhance gloss rather than provide heavy-duty protection.
