To be honest, in my experience snow foam doesn't do a fat lot! The detailing guys love it because it means you can take a photo of your car all covered in white foam, which is very exciting, but once you've got over that you're still left with a largely dirty car underneath. I have tried Bilt Hamber AutoFoam, which seems to be very highly regarded, and whilst I agree it's fun to cover the car in thick white foam, that's about the extent of its capabilities. It probably does remove a small amount of the really loose grime, but most of it stays exactly where it was.

I think you'd be far better off with a decontaminant of some description such as Bilt Hamber's Korrosol (http://www.bilthamber.com/car-cleaning-and-degreasing/korrosol) and / or Cleanser Fluid (http://www.bilthamber.com/car-cleaning-and...nser-fluid). Cleanser Fluid should be used after claying and before waxing - it's designed to give maximum adhesion for the wax.

Juts a word of caution - Korrosol stinks and the smell stays around for days afterwards. I don't think it's harmful, but it's not a good smell.

Bilt Hamber clay bars are highly recommended because they don't need lubricant - they just work with water. I've used them before and have been impressed with the results.

I don't work for Bilt Hamber by the way! Just done a fair bit of research into this sort of stuff over the years and Bilt Hamber seem to strike a good balance between cost and results.

But did the snow foam help remove the crud and leave a decent finish?
