- CarPro Lift vs Ethos Foam Party - Battle of snow foams! In this video, I compare two snow foams to determine which one is the best! In one corner, we have the new CarPro Lift. Is has a high pH active surface foaming agent to help lift road grime. In the other corner, we have Ethos Car Care Foam Party, which contains concentrated cleaners to help break down road grime. It’s a pH neutral formula that’s safe for waxes, sealants and coatings. Who will win? Find out by watching the video!

Watch this satisfying foam cannon car wash on a dirty car video!
The CarPro Lift pre-wash has a foaming agent that dissolves and lifts away a large amount of dirt and grime in a completely touchless manner. Lift uses alkaline cleaning agents (pH 12), which are strong yet gentle and suitable for use with ceramic coated cars. During the panel dwell period, Lift’s bubbles will burst and move, encouraging soaking and cleansing agents to start working at lifting road grime by binding with its surfactants. 10:1 dilution is recommended.
The Ethos Foam Party pre-wash foam has an addicting tropical scent. Its lush shaving cream thick suds lift dirt and grime from the surface to enhance your washing process. It’s even safe to use in direct sunlight. Add 2 to 3 oz of snow foam in your foam cannon container, fill it up with water and you’re good to go.
IMPORTANT: Always adjust your dilution ratios for snow foams according to your setup. Many factors influence the thickness and richness of the foam, including: water quality (soft vs hard water), type of pressure washer, type of foam cannon, type of snow foam and dilution ratio of snow foam.

Bonjour Pan, super video 😉
Je te suis en direct de France
Et j'aurais une petite question, je suis à la recherche d'un shampoing au ph neutre pour renforcer ma protection de type céramique et l'effet hydrophobe, j'ai testé pas mal de shampoing mais je ne trouve pas chaussure à mon pied
C'est pour cela que je m'adresse à toi
Dans l'attente de ta réponse
Merci d'avance
P.S: j'adore ta chaîne de detailing 😉
Excellent video as always Pan! Foam Party is quickly becoming a fan favorite for its addicting experience and mountains of foam. Our goal was to make a pH neutral soap that was safe on any form of protection, while building the highest foam build with the longest dwell time possible. This enables your contact wash to have the most lubrication possible to reduce the risk of marring or scratching. Its designed to be used with every wash without affecting waxes, sealants or coatings. For those looking for a more heavy duty cleaner for winter clean up, CarPro Lift would be a much better choice!
Thanks again for the product highlight!
Thanks Tim! Yeah both were great, there are no real losers in this battle. You have proven once again that pretty much your entire lineup of products is awesome. And for those who want the richer thicker foam, then Foam Party has the appropriate name! It's some of the foamiest I have used. :)
Now that's being professional Ethos.👏👏👏 I'm gonna buy the product because of this comment
@@benoithebert9399, Riding the Coats Tail 😂 😂
Another awesome presentation. It’ll be a long time before I try those products. Still need to go through my hoard of detail products.
Thanks for this video! I really enjoy the side by side comparisons. Also getting a pros perspective during the testing helps provide detailed insight in what to looks for performance wise.
Glad it was helpful!
Another good one Pan. I was waiting to see how CarPro Lift was working. I busted order 1L yesterday to use it on my coated car. I'll try it with a normal garden hose foam cannon.. I do not expect that much of foam. I'll get a good pressure machine soon from Matt. Thanks again!! Frank
Merci Pan pour le video.
Même si jutilise toujours Adam's Megafoam, toujours intéressant de voir des comparaisons d'autres produits.
An excellent "battle"! Well presented and your conclusions about best use are spot on :) (love the Kranzle btw!!)
Glad you liked it!
Good stuff Pan... it's not just about the foam! CarPro really makes some good products
Thanks Pan nice review 👌🏻 Picked up some lift the other day looking forward to giving it a go. The smells are definitely part of the experience for me too, good to know it smells like reset like you say it’s just a nice clean smell.
Great video as always. Like the head to head comparisons!! 👍
Glad you liked it!
Like always awesome video. You are really hitting it out of the park with your videos. Really enjoy this comparison video. Thank you Pan
Glad you like them!
Cheers Pan, a good way to start a weekend
You bet!
Been waiting for u to review carpro lift, finally. Thank you.
More to come!
Great video, appreciate your insight. Recently picked up both Reset and Lift for my ceramic coated vehicle. Would using Lift on a weekly/biweekly basis for quick touchless washes be fine? Would like to minimize traffic film leading up to a contact wash with Reset as to avoid scratches, swirl marks, etc. when the time comes.
Great video-used LIFT yesterday and it did exactly as you said! Great product 😄
Thank you Pan!! Another great product video. Very interesting and informative challenge, I personally like this video as I get to see how they preform at no cost to myself. Your service is outstanding and invaluable to the home details/weekend worriers!!
Awesome! Thank you! What's your favourite video on my channel so far Carman?
Love the 2020 awards overall the most favorite so mu great information. Also loved the ceramic frying pan video was so cool. The AvalonKing inspired me so much I ordered 3 (thanks for the discount code 🙏🏻 ) to order 3 of them for my mustang and the wife and daughters vehicles CX5 and Mazda3. Might have to order a extra for the CX5
Good Morning Pan and Thank You! Really helps us to understand when to use certain product(s) and their performance. Right Tools for the job in front of you.
Glad it was helpful!
Pan is like my Saturday morning cartoons when I was a kid.
Yesssss! Now that is what I call supporting my channel! :)
Another great video 📹Pan. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
There used to be early morning foam parties down here in Miami
Thanks pan for the video i like the way u explain thing. I enjoy watching your videos
Glad you like them!
Excellent video pan! I used the carpro lift for the1st time yesterday on 3 vehicles that were heavily covered in salt & Canadian road grime. After letting the product dwell for approximately 10 minutes, i hit it with a 3500 psi pressure washer and the results were outstanding. 👌
👍🏻
Every time I watch a Pan video my wallet gets upset. 🤣🤣
You are right
Now I gotta place an order, I was doing so good to but that just got blown out of the water lol
I didn't spend a dime since November 2020. That's changed since last week,lol!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg ever since I watch his Adam’s graphene ceramic install I’ve been buying stuff non-stop. I had a lot of stuff prior, now I just want to try everything. His videos are so educational.
Fantastic video Pan, great job! I feel like out of the Ethos and the Carpro I would personally pick the Carpro. Although both of them are great products.
Happy Carpro fan boy here 👍👍 , I will have to get some of that to try out
Great video. I enjoy waking up to a new video. Does Carpro Lift strip any Graphene coatings, such as Graphene Wax or other types?
It is safe for use on full blown ceramic and graphene coatings that are in those glass bottles. I wouldn't recommend it for use on spray products, or liquid waxes or sealants.
Legend is back 🇨🇦
Hello Pan! Great video! I would love to see what you think of the Auto Finesse Lavish, a Ceramic Coat product for use in a foam cannon. Best regards!
Thank you Pan for this another amazing test video ! I just purchased a similar product: Adam’s mega foam, can’t wait to test it ! Cheers !
Thanks! I reviewed Mega Foam in this video: czcams.com/video/K2jvbG2H2pg/video.html
If you like foam, you will get that in spades!
@@PanTheOrganizer good day Pan. What would your goto snow foam be for a foam cannon ?? Iam going to be buying a 6litre kwazar orion and want to purchase a bottle of soap
Pan, given Lift can remove waxes and sealants, will it also breakdown ceramic toppers like Reload or others like Reload? I was just about to buy Lift and now have concerns. Perhaps only use Lift every once in a while? My cars are ceramic coated.
I’m trying to do a full post-winter reset. I’m getting my ducks in a row. The TW ceramic is just about dead, so will the Lift be a safe bet? I’m trying to really deep clean, but don’t want to etch the clear coat.
Just purchased KC Green Star and picked up the lithium. Love the Eucalyptus smell. It suds like mad! Your brother is a lucky man to have you cleaning his car!!
He thanks me all the time haha. Great guy! We get along so well.
Good review Pan 👍
Glad you think so!
Good morning Pan! Grabbing another espresso to watch your video. Also excited to see the live stream with you on Monday! 👍

@@catguy64 Hi Mark! Missed seeing you. Hope you're well.
@@barbara4944 I'm ok. Dealing with a flood issue in my house last Thursday..entry way, living room were flooded.. walls being cut open and loud fans scaring my cats. Next 6 weeks of repair, remodel and inconvenience aren't going to be fun. Very thankful for insurance though!

Hi Pan may i ask your opinion on the meguiars ceramic coating kit i think it's fairly new and over here in Ireland i am very limited on some of the products that i can get. Thanks very much for taking the time to read my message hope you are well and keeping safe. Regards Terry McDonnell.
pan! my man i don't know why you keep doing car detailing content! you have such a great potential! but i see that you just doing what's your passion! 💜 so keep it tight and keep it clean!👌🏻💪🏻
Thanks! Will do!
Great video Pan!!! Can you do a snow foam battle of KC GSF vs Adams Car shampoo?
GSF is the better snow foam for sure.
I like the Etos Foam party better as it is very sudsy and has a pH neutral element to it. Great review Pan.
Un autre bon vidéo Pan, merci.
talk in English please
@@lordjaashin translation: another great video Pan, thanks!
Great practical evidence as product qualities 👍👍 water sheeting do overs, easy to see the difference/finish product
Thanks for watching Matthew!
Great review Pan, what all in one polish would you recommend ?
If by all-in-one you mean a polish that lays down a bit of protection at the end (that's what a true all-in-one is) then Turtle Wax Ceramic Polish N Wax and the new Rupes Uno Protect are some of the best.
We have CarPro lift here in Australia works really well. Great to see the comparison between these two as Ethos products review highly. Thanks Panasonic 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Detailing szn is almost back! Time to dial back in with my boy Pan
That's right!!! Let's GOOOO!
Hey pan need your help need a great ceramic coat for a caulk white new rig.. over here in the maritimes...😄
Great video Pan. I love it. By the way seeking your expert help what is the best ratio to dialute CarPro Lift & water if I want to use garden water hose foam gun. Thanks.
I don’t use foam guns unfortunately, so you’ll have to play with dilution ratios and adjust accordingly to your setup and conditions.
It would have been a good idea to use a cotton makeup removal disk on the rocker panels to see which removed more dirt.
Hi Pan, off topic what’s the best way to rustproof a car? Have you thought of doing a video in that for us Canadians ??
What’s up, Pan? Good morning. Another fine video to watch as I have My car looked at.
You can never have too many detailing products. 😃.
I think the Ethos would be better to Me. The CarPro product is a little runnier. I still like Adam’s Mega Foam a lot. Preference/choices!!!
Snow foam performs better without a pre rinse by allowing the product to cling to the surface in order to soften debris and traffic film. Applying to a wet surface just makes it run off before it even has time to work. It’s all about the high pressure rinsing of the loosened contaminates once it’s had time to dwell.
Was thinking same thing. Think it's a waste to pre rinse.
@@tmtoplak222pre rinse with soap? Probably. But they can sell you more soap and you use more lol
With a ceramic coated car the water would sheet off pretty quick, leaving only a small amount of water on the panel. Plus you're mixing it with water through the foam cannon so you're diluting it there. I've tried it both ways and haven't seen where it didn't work one way or the other. It seemed to work on Pan's brothers car from what I could tell.
As far as scent, super foamy, and effective ph neutral prewash, foam party wins for me. The car pro seems great too. With the higher alkaline properties can see why it showed more on the cleaning side.
Hi Pan, I wonder what are the brand of the measuring cups that you were using in the video. Thanks.
They're not available anymore unfortunately.
Lift dilution.
20 ounces of water for 2 ounces of lift is that it?
thanks
The paint is doll and what to do?
I miss someone do a new car with low gloss, make it as is should look and how to do.
Nice channel 👍
Great video, Pan! Would the Carpro Lift be safe to use on a vehicle with Turtle Wax Ceramic + Graphene wax or would it remove the protection??
Yes that would be ok
Hey Pan GREAT! Video - also from my understanding Lift can also be used as decon as well.
As a decon? This doesn't have iron removing capabilities.
Thanks for your information
Welcome
I saw that Sprayway has an SiO2 wax that is in a spray can. It looks pretty cheap. Maybe you should do a video on that.
Love these battles. I still think the Griot's Garage foams are the best you've tested so far.
Glad you like them!
Hey Pan. Huge fan! Is Lift safe to use on something like Gyeon Can Coat? I know Can Coat is not the typical full blown ceramic coating so wondering if Lift is still safe on it. Thanks!
Yes it’s safe on CanCoat.
very nice comparison👍I have a question . your washing water is softened .. at what level of hardness have you set your softener .. thank you for your answer😀
I don't set the hardness levels of my water. The softener just does its thing. In my previous home, I also had a water softener and had done water hardness levels analysis through a local water treatment specialist. You can see the before and after results here: czcams.com/video/G66IR8kS0uQ/video.html
Great comparison test and both are great products to use. The ph scale tells me which product to use for ceramic coated or waxed vehicle.
Thank you!
Great comparison, Pan!!!! You turned me into a Turtle Wax Flex user for my 2021 CX-5 (which is absolutely awesome) and so I'm wondering if CarPro Lift is safe to use on a TW Flex treated surface? Thank you!!!! Always love your videos!!
Yes it's safe for use on Flex. Maybe not as resistant as a full blown coating, but it should hold up for a wash with Lift every now and then. Worse comes to worse, you can always spray and rinse a fresh coat if you see hydrophobics diminish.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thank you, Pan!!!
I have found the thicker the foam, the longer it takes to rinse off, as you demonstrated, especially from the panel gaps and around the doors and trunks. A good video for your viewers to decide on which type of foam thickness to use. Ozz
@Pan the Organizer What do you think on using high PH snow foam like Lyft and wash and coat shampoo like Bathe+, is it enough protection for the paint or should I use an additional type of protection like wax/sealant/ceramic? Thank you for the advice :)
Bathe+ is meant more as a maintenance soap if your car is already ceramic coated. It does not offer enough long term protection (maybe 2-3 weeks). I would for sure recommend a full ceramic coating application on your car first, and then you maintain that finish with either a silica infused soap (like Bathe+) or silica spray sealant (like Gyeon Cure) once every 2-3 months.
Ethos kind of reminds me of Adams Mega Foam. Shaving cream like thickness, good cleaning capabilities but takes a bit longer rinsing off.
well, Ethos is made by Adams so...
@@xmreeves Sure isn't.
Pan, thanks for another fantastic video. Question, would this take place of carpro reset? Or would this be used first? Thanks, also better to used reload or hydro for sealer or both? I have carpro ceramic with Gliss if that matters thanks.
This would be used first as part of the pre-wash. Then you move to the hand wash with Reset.
Reload and HydrO2 are very similar in terms of performance. Just a different way to apply them. You pick one, not both.
@@PanTheOrganizer what would be your preference. I have used reload and work fantastic however I dislike the streams if you will. I know you have used both in different videos. So if carpro was only going to keep one and only one what would you take then? I ask because your opinion matters to me.
HydrO2 as I love it for wheels (along with Gyeon Wet Coat).
Thank you for your answer👍
My pleasure 😊
Hey Pan, what's your thoughts on Lift in an IK Foam pro 2? My plan is to keep some in the ik for pre wash bugs/ heavy grime, and for use on my road bike washes. Would the dilution stay 10:1? Would the high Ph be appropriate in an ik
Foamer?
I never tried it in a pump sprayer. You would have to try different dilutions to find the perfect one for your setup and conditions.
Lift for me! Thanks Pan

Hi Pan,
Do you think the CarPro Lift can be used on the Turtle Wax Flex and TLC CeraTrim?
Thanks!
Yes, absolutely. Although Lift is best used on cars with true ceramic coatings (ones in glass bottles) as those have even more chemical resistance.
Hi Pan. Another great video. I have a question on a comment you made regarding CarPro Lift. Is CarPro Lift made for cars only with ceramic coating? On what type of protection can you use CarPro Lift? Thanks!!!
I would only recommend Lift on ceramic coated cars, as coatings can resist the higher pH level. Regular waxes and sealants would start to break down if you used Lift on those.
I’m considering purchasing that Car Pro Lift.

I really like Ethos Ceramic Shampoo in my foam cannon. Unbelievable foam thickness.
Hell yeah thanks for doing another video there paaaaaaaan. Love this vid
Hey Pan, would you recommend CarPro lift if my vehicle doesn't have any type of coating, sealant, or wax applied? Or should I go with something that is pH neutral like Adam's Mega foam? Would this be a good protect to use if I plan on applying a sealant, or wax after my wash? Also realized that you mentioned that it is safe to use on ceramic coated vehicles and does not strip away to coating, but would this strip sealants and waxes?
CarPro Lift is a heavier cleaning pre-wash snow foam, meaning it helps to remove traffic film and grime off ceramic coatings. You could use it as a pre-wash on an uncoated vehicle too. As long as you're not using it on a vehicle protected by a regular wax or sealant, as the higher pH could strip that protection off over time.
Hey Pan - is the Lift safe to use with reset as a weekly maintenance wash on a matte finish. The only reason I ask is that Lift is not ph neutral. I just used Lift and Descale and I can definitely see more hydrophobic properties return to my matte finished!
I wouldn't use Lift every week. Once a month perhaps. And for Descale, only use when needed. Perhaps a few times a year for a more thorough decon, like in my ultimate spring detailing tutorial here: czcams.com/video/oTaFE_p2OAw/video.html
For weekly washes, CarPro Reset as a shampoo is the best, and a pH neutral snow foam like Koch Chemie Gsf is all you need.
Hi Pan, I'm loving the head to heads / shoot outs so big thanks as both are on my shopping list as I have two cars with coatings but my daily soon to have a wrap will have a traditional, glaze, sealant & wax topper.. A big question.. Can you identify your garage heater (over in the corner, near the single door) Ive a couple of coating projects in the immediate future but my garage unless filled with oil filled electric radiators, electric fires the temperature make this almost a none starter unless I can find an easier way to keep the garage @ plus 10c/ pref 15c . Any words of wisdom very much appreciated.
Hi Mike. That's an actual heat pump from Daikin. It heats and cools my garage as needed, all year round. I talk about it in my full garage tour video here: czcams.com/video/gyehNOd44SY/video.html
I usually keep my garage at 20C.
@@PanTheOrganizer Thanks Pan, I hadnt thought of a heat pump but if it can keep your garage at 20c (remembering Britain only has two days a year when temp exceeds 20) then it should be able to do very similar here. Many thanks. I will check out the garage tour when I rise after a couple of hours snooze. Thank you, much appreciated.
Where did you buy your cool measuring cup for your snow foam?
They are not available anymore unfortunately...
Can we gat a review of Gyeon's apc?
I'm really impressed by lift! I'll definitely have to check it out. I tried Koch Chemie GSF for the first time last week and I'm BLOWN away with the sickness and foaming capability
Yeah GSF is pretty insane!
Add some Green Star in your mix for more of a punch and you’ll really be amazed!!
Hi Pan, can you review igl blizzard as pre wash snow foam battle?
If I get enough viewer requests for it, I'll look into it for sure!
Can you use the car pro lift to wash a car treated with the 303 Graphene Nano spray or would the Ethos foam party be the better choice? Thanks
You can use either or, both are great.

Hi Pan. As you mentioned Lift isn't a PH neutral pre-wash so you don't recommend using it on paint sealants. Does that mean you don't recommend to use it on my car which is ceramic coated but I also try to keep it protected using CarPro Reload and Elixir?
You can absolutely use Lift on ceramic coated cars, that is what it's designed for!
Do you use a separate car shampoo in the two bucket method? Or can you use a snow foam concentrate in the bucket as well?
I use a separate shampoo. These are more snow foams, not really made for hand wash stage.
Do I need Carpro Reset for the contact wash too or can I use Carpro Lift for both pre and contact if being applied with foam cannon?
CarPro Lift is only a pre-wash shampoo for foam cannons, not for the hand wash.
Hi Pan!
Since the CarPro Lift has such a high pH-level, can it cause any damage on chrome details on your car?
It will not damage exterior surfaces. It was meant to be used a snow-foam. The chemists behind this are very aware.
Good video, thanks... As for the pre-rinse before snow foam, I just don't get it... I would do a good snow foam loosens dirt and grime and then rinse. Not sure why pre-wash and foam.
That being said, never done a snow foam yet except at a local car wash this winter with a manual snow foam. Looking forward to trying it with my pressure washer in the spring-summer.
There are two different schools of thought on that. I like to pre-rinse, foam and rinse. Some go straight to foaming a dry surface, then rinse. What ever works best in your world. But I prefer knocking out what ever loose dirt and debris I can first, then spraying the foam to let it dwell and pickup things that it might had missed should there have been looser stuff on top... That routine works fantastic for me, so I stick with it until someone can prove there is a better method. ;)
Hi pan I love your videos I've learned an unbelievable amount from you but I'm still wondering about the pH of lift that you say so alkaline that might be bad for sealants. if the dilution is 1to 10 that brings your pH Down from 12 to approximately 7.2 or 7.3 which is a normal pH is not alkaline at all when it's comes out of the foam Cannon. Am I missing something?interested in your thoughts
According to CarPro: "Lift uses pH12 alkyl cleaning ingredients". I don't know what the effective pH is once diluted though. But it's safe on coated vehicles (at least vehicles coated with quality coatings like CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0).
I have been using Lift for a long while now on coated cars for maintenance, and it always works great.
There's also more to cleaning power than just pH level by the way. Quality of surfactants, emulsifying agents, other ingredients in its chemistry, etc.
Take CarPro Reset shampoo for example. It's technically pH neutral, yet everyone knows how good it is as a maintenance wash on coated cars to remove road grime and traffic film. CarPro IronX is also pH neutral, becomes slightly acidic when it reacts with iron particles in the exothermic chemical reaction, yet despite it being neutral, it's such an effective iron contamination removal spray.
What a coincident on snow foams. I ordered the Carpro Lift last week.
can I use CarPro Reset in my foam cannon for a maintenance wash?
You certainly could.
For weekly wash of ceramic coated cars is it safe to use alkaline snow foams like carpro lift?
I wouldn't recommend using alkaline snow foams every week. All you need for regular weekly washes is a pH neutral snow foam like Koch Chemie Gsf for example.
You would use an alkaline snow foam perhaps once a month or when a deeper clean is needed, to remove grime and road film.
Pan, have you considered reviewing Bilt Hamber Auto Foam?
Yes but we don’t have their line of products yet in Canada to my knowledge.
Hey pan first up great review,funny thing I just got my carpro lift delivered this morning guess this is ok to use on my car iv got meguairs ceramic spray wax on it.Keep
To the 1-10 ratio.All the very best stay safe 🏴🏴🏴👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I wouldn't recommend Lift to be used on regular waxes/sealants on ceramic sprays like Meguiar's...
Can you review the new version of auto fanatic 007 snow foam? Please !
Hey pan would 50 percent distilled water and 50 percent Car pro pearl work good! So I’m basically making two bottles of car pro pearl
It depends for what use. Read the label for the dilution ratios. For tires, yes 1:1 would work. But for exterior plastics, it's 3:1 and for interior use it's 5:1
Thank you Pan! Wow, that’s great to know those key differences. 👍🏼👍🏼
You are so welcome!
I've used the the ethos foam and really liked it. If I'm going to use a higher alkaline cleaner I would use a purple power vehicle and boat super cheap.. still carpro looks like a really good product too...great review pan
Thanks Barry!
