- Foaming a vehicel with an Autobrite Foamlance for Karcher with Supa Snow Foam concentration of 1:4.
Purpose: to remove as much dirt as possible before touching the car with anything else like a microfiber wash mitt. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Snow foaming removes very little dirt, it is an important step in the process of cleaning a car efficiently causing minimal scratching.
Snow foaming draws the dirt up off the paint in preperation for removal via a clean high quality microfibre mitt using the two bucket method. This vid shows the use of a pretty efficient system,looks to be good quality products in use here.
Thanks Dennis... This was a great help.
damn that is some thick foam..... Nice
great video, can you use any car shampoo in foam bottle attachment or does it have to be a certain shampoo?
Thanks
Doesn't matter. In fact I prefer the K series to this expensive one. It costs alot of power and fuses go out easily. For foaming purposes a 100+ bar pressure washer is more than enough. Especially for car cleaning.
I'm 10000% sure it's not 100% clean :)
It's an addtion to the washing proces not a replacement.
why dont demo's show really dirty cars being cleaned with snowfoam ?
How does this compare with The K series, which I just bought but yet to start using..still waiting for the car wax
Depends on the foam. Some foams or stronger than other's. It's an addition to the washing proces not a replacement. The idea is to remove to large dirt particles (sand) safely rather than sandblast it with a pressure washer. Also, it's fun to do :)
gebruik je de foam zonder aanlenging met water?
I have black and decker pressure washer with 80bar, it would work?
The pressure washer used is a Karcher HD series, I believe the 5 series.
Any shampoo could be used but most won't foam so much. You can better use a good quality foaming shampoo.
But you can use a normale shampoo for regular washing as well. Foam the car with the shampoo and start washing with a good washmitt than rinse. Regularly rinse out the washmitt though.
It's a Karcher HD series, but a basic model will do just fine.
There are Lavor connectors available sometimes. Check Autobritedirect on google.
They do have it at AG. Search on "lance"
Thanks :)
What pressure washer you use? What model and how much psi?
The new Octavia is even nicer :)
I wonder if that would work for my bike, it gets really dirty, especially with chain grease getting everywhere
hey im wondering if i could fill the detergent tank on the Karcher K 5.540 X-Series with the Supa Snow Foam or will i have to buy the Autobrite Foamlance and hook it up to the Karcher K 5.540 X Series?
meeting where this liquid product to buy?
I have a machine LAVOR
this tube would
tnx
nice
No idea what you mean... if you rinse down you start at the top. Putting the foam on doesn't make any difference where you start practically.
nice car by the way...
With the right foam (degreasing) it will surely help!
Nice
wish I had a place like that to wash my car in
Just filling the tank will not be as near as good foam as with an Autobrite lance but you can always try :)
Haha, inderdaad. Je vergeet snel iets als je aan het filmen bent.
De kans dat ik je suggestie ga proberen is helaas klein. Mocht ik een keer de kans krijgen dan doe ik dat zeker. Laatst de nieuwe Auto Finesse Avalanche geprobeerd en die werkt ook erg goed alleen niet erg goedkoop.
Hij lijkt schoon op het filmpje maar dat was die zeker niet. Vooral de onderste delen van de zijkanten zaten onder het zand. Het foam sluit het zand in en zo kan je het veilig afspuiten. Alleen de zijkanten foamen voor het filmpje is ook weer zo wat dus de hele auto is gedaan.
which model is this?
Speeding up so it won't take so long to watch. The car looks clean but there was alot of sand at the bottom and for the video I foamed the entire car. Maybe a bit more than you need but it's a larger car (station wagon) but half a bottle is normal. The soap is mixed 1:4 but 1:10 is also possible. For show I did 1:4 on this car.
which model is your karcher?
At your local detaing (web)shop?
I think you need a whole lot more than just a foam... :)
De wagen binnen foamen om de wanden (muren werkruimte) vuil te maken? Kan je toch even goed buiten doen om vervolgens de wagen binnen af te werken?
Verder niets op te merken Dibuz.
Met aanlenging. Dit was 1:10 verdunt in de fles.
très cool
where can I buy this foam lance and snow foam do you have a web address I am in the us
where can i get the foam??
Coming soon. Close up of Auto Finesse Avalanche on the side of a VW Polo.
There is quite some high winds outside so if I used it outside my camera could fell over and the foam would be everywhere except on the car :)
Autogeek.net has foam and foamlances.
How does it clean without physically wiping down the car with a cloth? I've been to those "touchless/brushless" car washes and they were a complete joke and money robber! I could see all of the dirt and dust reappearing once the sun dried it and see all kinds of missed spots! This seems equal to dipping your dirty dishes in sudsy water then rinsing them with the sink sprayer. How can they possibly get cleaned?
Help The Homeless! snow foam is intended as a pre wash, not a full wash
Octavia vRS. Quality car.
Er zijn diverse foams, in dit filmpje is gebruik gemaakt van Super Snow Foam te verkrijgen bij Carclean.nl
I will pass that on to the owner :)
I think cleaning a dirty car would be a better demo! (just a thought)
There wasn't a dirty car available at the moment and my own car doesn't get so dirty :)
Could have but there wasn't a very dirty car at the moment.
Jup it looked clean but from the sides at the bottom it wasn't. Lots of sand, for the video I did the entire car. Only the bottom half would get me more comments why the top isn't done than now that the car doesn't looks dirty :)
im still searching for a vid where the spray a dirty car
cool, but the car didnt even look dirty to start with.
Buiten was geen optie vanwege de wind die dag. Bovendien filmt het binnen beter zonder voorbij razende auto's.
Could of done the video on a dirty car!
That doesn't make any difference to my opinion.
I didn't had a very dirty car available when I was shooting all the vids.
It's to show how it looks on a car. Also the pint is to remove the dirst safely.
Just blasting it with a pressure washer to remove sand can cause swirls.
Any dirt extra removed is just a bonus.
Idiot posting comment not knowing what it is and why it's being used.
