Product Information
Full details
The Pro-Kleen Snow Foam in Watermelon scent is designed for car enthusiasts and detailers seeking an effective yet gentle cleaning solution. Its primary benefit is the creation of thick, clinging foam that lifts stubborn dirt and grime, leaving a shiny finish with its integrated wax. A minor consideration is the need for a snow foam lance for optimal application, though it is compatible with all types.

FAQs
Do I need a special lance to use this snow foam?
Yes, for optimal performance and thick foam, a snow foam lance designed to attach to a pressure washer is recommended. The product is compatible with all standard snow foam lances.
Is this product safe for my car's paint?
Yes, Pro-Kleen Snow Foam has a pH neutral and non-caustic formula, making it safe for all automotive paintwork, as well as plastics, rubber, and trim.
How much product should I dilute?
The exact dilution ratio can vary depending on your snow foam lance and pressure washer. A common starting point is between 1:5 and 1:10 (foam concentrate to water). Refer to your lance's manual or experiment slightly to find the best ratio for thick foam.
Can I use this as my only car wash soap?
While it cleans effectively and adds shine, it's primarily designed as a pre-wash to lift dirt. For a complete clean, especially on heavily soiled vehicles, it is recommended to follow up with a traditional wash mitt and bucket method after rinsing the snow foam.
How long should I leave the foam on the car?
Allow the foam to dwell on the surface for approximately 5-10 minutes. Do not let it dry on the surface. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterwards.
Does the wax leave a protective layer?
Yes, the integrated wax provides a temporary shine and a light protective layer, enhancing the appearance and making future cleaning slightly easier. It is not a substitute for a dedicated wax or sealant application.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in a cool, dry place with the cap securely fastened, Pro-Kleen Snow Foam typically has a shelf life of 2-3 years.
Troubleshooting
Foam is not thick or clinging well.
Ensure the correct dilution ratio is used. Check that the snow foam lance is functioning correctly and the mixture is properly agitated. Verify you are using a compatible pressure washer.
Product leaves streaks after rinsing.
This might occur if the product dries on the surface before rinsing. Ensure you rinse thoroughly within the recommended dwell time. Check if the wax component is unevenly distributed; a quick wipe with a microfiber drying towel might resolve this. Ensure the vehicle is rinsed completely.
Unpleasant odor instead of watermelon.
This is unusual for a new product. If the scent is significantly off or chemical-like, discontinue use and check the product's expiration date or storage conditions. Contact the retailer if you suspect a faulty batch.
Not removing dirt effectively.
For very heavy contamination, a longer dwell time might be needed, or a follow-up wash with a wash mitt may be required. Ensure the foam has had sufficient time to lift the dirt before rinsing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use Pro-Kleen Snow Foam, you will need a snow foam lance and a pressure washer. Dilute the snow foam concentrate with water according to the instructions on your snow foam lance or the product's recommendation (typically a ratio between 1:5 and 1:10 foam to water). Fill the lance's reservoir with the mixture.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with all types of cars and all commercially available snow foam lances. Its pH neutral and non-caustic formula makes it safe for all exterior automotive surfaces, including paint, plastics, rubber, and trim.
Care: Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is securely fastened after each use. Clean your snow foam lance regularly to prevent blockages.
