Personally I like Valet Pro pH Neutral snow foam, gets fairly thick as seen on my old peugeot. (The only picture I seem to have of snow foaming)

Are you using a lance that has the option to adjust the spray size etc or are you using a bog standard one like the ones that come with karcher pressure washers and cannot be adjusted?blaked93":19e8ef4s said:Best Brand to buy? I have the piece that turns it to foam, but mine doesn't make it thick. Just runs quite a bit.
I've used Autobrites magifoam for the past couple of years and use there own snow foam lance. Always works great for me but it does take a few attempts to get the thing dialled in to get it nice and thick.
It does leave a a small about on the drive after I have washed the car but it's pretty much gone over night. Not exactly a cheap way to clean the car by the time you have added the jet wash in to the equation but It's defiantly a good way to help clean the car as it takes most of the nasty stuff off before running a sponge over it.

I've never really been sold on foaming a car in general, always seems like a novelty. Had a foam lance for years now, tried various shampoos through it and have used Valet Pro PH Neutral Snow Foam for a while but never really seems to shift much grime.
The way people talk about it you'd think it's almost a touchless wash but personally I don't see it as any better than using a pressure wash and pre-soaking with water first.
A friend of mine runs Devine Detail and says much the same, he absolutely raves about pre-soaking the vehicle with a wax friendly citrus degreaser in a pressured bottle. Pre-soak the car, leave then rinse off and apparently it really lifts the dirt off the car as you then pressure wash it off. I'm waiting for a bottle from him so will let you know how that goes.
