In this video, I show you how to mix magibrite snow foam for best results with the autobrite lance.
This method makes thick creamy shaving foam like snow foam using a cheap Karcher K2 pressure washer,
I use 100 mm of magifoam and top up the bottle to the 400mm mark with hot water.
Turn the autobrite lance all the way to minus then back half a turn, for best results use a width of around 70 cm to spray on the car.

are the links the right way round, the one you have for karcher says nilfisk on amazon and the nilfisk doesn't say any particular make of PW
Searched lots of videos on snow foam in UA-cam but this is by far the best. Thanks! 👍
I usually don't comment on video's but now I have to; I also use a Karcher-K and wanted someting to foam my car with, ordered the foam lance from Autobrite and followed this man's exact instructions and it really works perfectly. I love it, very usefull video!!!
JohanLocke That's great! Happy to help!!
Do not do as he explains, it's called a pre-wash for a reason, if you follow his instructions you will just scratch up your paint even more. Apply the foam and wash of with a pressure washer and only after that you can get out your wash mitt and do the contact wash with an auto shampoo.
@@TommyApel he's a joker swirl city on his 12 plate focus no citrus or 2bm no lambswool washmitt either
@@TommyApel I always jet wash the car first to get rid of top layer of dirt. This video has been useful in regards to adding hot water to 100ml of magi foam. But like you said I would jet wash first before doing snow foam stuff.
You are not supposed to rinse first, as the pre-wash won't stick to the body.
Thank you for your extremely helpful video. I have been getting it wrong for ages and this is the first, extremely clear, video of how to use snow foam properly.
Got the same kit as you’ve illustrated and yes. It is that easy. It works every time. Thanks for the tip on cleaning the bottle.
Thank you so much for explaining how to use the karcher for this process. I've never done it before and now I'll know a lot more with my products. That is amazing. Thanks heaps. Regards, Jim.
Pretty much followed the directions you provided in this video and it worked very well. Super clean car, in fact loads of people have commented. Thanks for the video :)
Impressed with this. Simple, easy, starightforward. Just what I had been looking for. Thanks.
Very pleased I came across your video. I was just looking to buy a car wash system and you have guided me in what to get. Thank you Stampy
The function of snow foam is as a pre rinse, to lift the dirt and particles off of the paint and run them down to the bottom, so you wash them off then. If you use a mitt on a pre rinse stage you will drag the dirt around the car and scratch or swirl it. Having that said, I’ll def use your trick with the dilution of foam itself.
The foam in this is too thick, a 5 minute dwell is more than enough to remove loose dirt before rinsing. Then you start the contact wash. He says no swirls, but I can bet you that thing is marked up bad.
Had a K2 pressure washer Used you're set up bought the lance too .works fab .. thank you
Just bought a Karcher pressure washer with snow foam, really helpful video, thank you so much
As a few others have mentioned, the reason to snow foam the car is to lift the dirt off the surface of the car...then it needs to be hosed off. Then you wash your car as normal. If you wash as show in the video all you are doing is rubbing all that dirt and grit back into the paintwork.
Thanks for the tutorial, I have never managed to get thick snow foam and I will certainly try your technique next time.
Good video. Thanks to this I've now got my snowfoam lance working as intended, and I'm using at lot less product. Thanks.
Great video this is, for some reason there’s so many people over complicating the process of using snow foam and what pressure washer to use... this video explains everything and just shows how easy and simple it is... thankyou 👏🏻
No... It does not... While this video explains adequately how to set up your bottle, the methods used, particularly on a black car, will scratch and swirl your paint...
The correct process isn't complicated but it does take time... If you haven't got said time then perhaps car detailing isn't for you but if that's the case then why by pre-wash products in the first place?
Following the method in this video, you might as well drive to the local garage and use there drive-thru swirl machine... 🤷🏻♂️
Some very useful top tips from a nomal guy to pass his knowledge on to someone like me as a basic beginner. well done fella
Amazing video! Nicely broke down into simple steps! Amazing work buddy, will try this soon for sure !
These are all the things you need to know prior to using snow foam. Brilliant video, thanks Paul👍
Very helpful. Some negative comments on here but clearly this works for you and you did a great job taking the mystery out if snow foam
Nice video and love the pace of your delivery. Good work! 👍🏼
The results says it all … respect
Thanks! This answered exactly why I wasn’t getting good foam - too much dilution. Now to try it out!
Thanks for your video, I am just going to use mine to clean my car for the first time with my Karcher K2 . Now I know now how to do it.
Great video, helped me out a lot as I'm a novice when it comes to the pressure wash and the foam.
So thank you.
Great video, after watching this i purchased one, and I'm very happy with the results. Cheers
Shouldn’t the snow foam have been rinsed off prior to the contact stage. This would prevent any grit trapped in the snow foam from being rubbed into the top coat.
Eddie Runcorn yep. He didn’t wait for the product to do its job, then should’ve rinsed it off. Then during the next shampoo stage he can use the mitt.
If he hasn’t scratched the clear coat or paint then he’s bloody lucky.
He may as well use a scourer.
As a car detailer this video made me cringe. Hats off to people trying but please do not do what this man is saying. 1 do not activate snow foam with hot water this is why he stated it lasts for ages and sticks. 2 do not agitate the snow foam With a wash mit. It is designed to remove dirt then be rinses off not scrubbed, this will in fact scratch the paint work with any particles the snow foam has removed. This will create scratch and swirl marks which will then cost a lot to have someone come and correct your paint. 3 always use the 2 bucket method wash and rinse after rinsing the snow foam off. Also do not put polish in a lance with water it was not designed to be mixed. Buy a spray sealant instead. Also another tip always wash your wheels first.
Come on guys, if it works for him, leave him be!! Each to their own. I just wanted to see the results from the foam gun as I recently bought one and I was impressed with the thickness...
@@maxxtro50 You've made some valid points there, however Auto Glym Polar seal is meant to be diluted and is designed to be used with a lance. Also I don't understand why not use hot or at least warm water if it gives you a thicker foam? does it dilute the washing properties of the snow foam?
@@maxxtro50 yip what Stuart said, I can't believe what I've seen, one of my mates sent me this video, unbelievable! 😳 DO NOT DO WHAT THIS MAN IS DOING!!!!!
Great video with helpful tips, just bought a Karcher K2 pressure washer which came with foam lance so will try it out if its not as good will buy your setup.
Can recommend Autobrite 100%! I’m local to them so pop in to grab gear and the guy in the shop is amazing with advice etc. I’ve got a silly off brand preseure washer but they had the correct fitting for it
Thankz dude wasnt sure how to use snow foam definitely going to buy a pressure washer and a snow foam now
Good tutorial...I’ve got a tanazanite blue Beamer so this wud be a perfect routine particularly like the auto glym tip cheers
Great demo. It's hard to believe how complicated the rest of youtube makes all that look ✌️
I have a k2 and the autobrite snow cannon and foam and I think it's brilliant kids love blasting the car with snow foam, the k2 dose a good job at removing the dirt too 👍👍
What a great video. In depth, straightforward and no gimmics. Thanks for uploading this. I'm going to buy the kit to start doing this myself!
I have just bought a marcher k2 with their snow foam lance and shampoo!!! Garbage snow foam. will be taking delivery tomorrow from amazon from your link tomorrow. thanks for the great advice and demo.
Great information, I’m new to snow foam , and will be using your method 😊
I'm just about to purchase my first ever black car. I've always shied away from black because of the very reasons you mention. A new car deserves a new Karcher set up as well! Thanks for the video.
Thanks! It wouldn't be my first choice but do look great when clean!
It is important, how black is mixed, imo. I did have focus in black colour, which was really nice, since it is mixed with metallic, purple particles, which gives extra depth to the black. I find blacks on german brands for ex. little bit dull. Too bad ford quality is shite, was giving me a lot of frustration. Anyway, black is nice, when it is clean, but it does take more attention, and every scratch etc is visible from mile away.
About washing (from my view) i find foam little bit on bs side (i try it, but it doesn't really clean much). One could argue, it just for sake just of unsticking dirt off etc, but you get that with common rinsing too (foam could be maybe beneficial on extra dirty car) . What i id find out and i use this method ever since, is to use constant flow of water (i just let flow without washer pump being on) when washing with sponge/mit. This constantly lubricate cleaning surface and taking dirt off. Do this 2 times on whole car (with some quality car shampoo) in shade and i can tell you, you won't be needed any additional drying and cleaning with cloth etc (you can, if you're extra picky). done and done, nice glossy, shiny car.
Actually a good video on foaming. I'll give it a go myself. Thanks for the video.
No problem 👍
Thanks for vid - I’m with zero contact until all is washed off. If it’s needed that’s the time to get the mit out. To dry I use a Stihl Magnum leaf blower (I’m sure any leaf blower will do) completely dry in just a few mins. If you wash each week you never need to touch the car - thanks again
Thank you, very well presented, very clear and helpful
Very Good video - really helpful. Appreciate that you took the time and effort to do it. As always, there will be people who have different / negative comments . . . can't find their videos though!!!! Again Thank You.
Martin Thanks! The vid was show how to get decent snowfoam from a cheap set up. Most comments on here think I must be a failed car detailing expert! It's only and old focus! Still looks great btw! Thanks for a positive comment!!!
Great vid……I’ve wasting my foam soap…. Will definitely be trying this on my next wash…. Thanks mate 👏👏👏
Brilliant and straight to the point. 👏
Very helpful video and well explained 👍
Great video. I've just bought the same set up as yourself. Very useful info. Cheers.
Cheers David
never used snow foam thanks for some great instructions much appreciated
very well explained video, just one thing I would do in addition to this is pre rinse first with pressure washer to get rid of any grit before applying snowfoam. I didn't know the amount of snowfoam required & the adjustments that can be tweaked on lance for thickness of snowfoam until this video. Nice one 👍
Top video Geezer! Best pressure wash vid on the net. All the other videos seem like adverts
Sean Moriguchi Thanks!
Brilliant I just bought one today think it was done quick clear details I loved it well done am a girl to can’t wait have to buy the polish put the polish into the left over foam love great tips 100% loved it 😁💪😀😀
Have fun!
Thanks for this video, is very helpful.
brilliant video! can i just say that cheap karcher as you call it with the dirt blaster lance and a bit of patience would clean your drive like nearly new! this video to me shows how simple it is to clean a vehicle! the best yet thankyou!🥰
Very helpful video never knew about filling the Lance with hot water
Thanks Conor
Very very helpful will try it out for sure thankyou
Another helpful video especially around dilution etc. I use the a K4 with the Karcher lance and the Autoglym Polar range - blast, wash then seal. The latter is a more effective polish/barrier than the shampoo/conditioner that you've used here and lasts about 1-2 months. Cheers.
Good job very interesting will try it cheers
I've had my K2 for well over 10 years and have only had to replace the high pressure hose. Mine has the built in mixing tank and I use Karcher car and bike detergent and it works brilliantly. Just add 3:1 mix and the Karcher does the rest. Simple. Top tip, never run your Karcher before letting the low pressure water run through it before you use it on high pressure. It avoids the pump running dry on start up.
Great Video. Be careful parking your car near your boiler outlet as these emit small amounts of iron deposits. The way that I detail is.... Pressure wash to remove the heavy deposits, snow foam as you describe, rinse, decontaminate with iron remover (wheels first), rinse, contact wash using a coral mit and the 2 bucket method using a stone guard in the clean water bucket, rinse, towel dry (Micro Fibre), spray with waterless finishing product, rinse again,. Boom done takes about 90 mins, but well worth it. This is for a weekly maintenance wash.
Excellent instructions sir thank you
just got my AB foam lance with snowfoam included in package.. also i have Karcher K3, and a black car too haha..this video is just what i needed. Thank You
DO NOT follow the advice in this video, unless you want to add more swirls into your paintwork... Snow foams/pre-wash products should be thoroughly rinsed off the vehicle BEFORE you was it... They are designed to remove the grit/dust/dirt off the vehicle so that you don't then tub it in... Hence the name PRE-wash 👍🏼 hope this helps
@@markkerr3761 Yes, I know that..I found useful only dilution process in video :)
So good and clear instructions
If you don’t want swirl marks you should use the pressure washer to rinse off the foam after you’ve let it soak for a bit, then contact wash wish a shampoo bucket and a rinse bucket. The foam loosens the dirt but it’s still sitting on the car, so contact washing at that stage is just moving around the dirt which will scratch the paint
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
What's the point of snow foaming if you are going to rub all the dirt into the paint lol !
Blast off the worst with the Karcher, snow foam, blast that off, then apply any extra's like fallout remover and/or tar remover, blast that off, and ONLY THEN should you touch wash with a shampoo and the softest lambswool mitt.
I worked as a valeter.
@@DjNikGnashers Why Lambswool? Clearcoat isn't made of tracing paper lol. Its a lot tougher than the detailing industry try to make out - can't imagine why they'd want to gaslight weekend warriors into paying for overpriced kit. Sigh. Besides, lambswool has been shown to not release dirt very well on numerous scientific tests. Mixed microfibres, (eg; Gtechniq WM2), have been shown to be best under testing, on a number of objective tests, followed by micronoodle
@@unisoulja6227 Lambswool because it isn't there for 'releasing dirt' mate, 99% of the dirt should already be removed especially any grit or small particles which may scratch clear coat.
After pre-wash, and snow foam, there should only be a slight stubburn film of grime left, and the odd insect remains. The lambswool mitt is there so that I can apply a bit of pressure without risking more swirls.
I'm not a weekend warrior, stop assuming, I worked as a valeter professionally before I moved into other areas of the motor trade (which I still work in).
Years of experience have taught me exactly what to use. Now, if clear coat was really that tough, why does every car have swirls unless it's just come from a 2 stage polish with a DA ?
It sounds like you read 'bro' science' bs on the internet and believe everything you read, but don't actually have any real experience matey if I'm being honest.
I detail my car every 2-3 weeks, have done for years, and will continue to do so in the same way I have learned through experience, is the correct way.
@@DjNikGnashers It's okay to snow foam, rinse, then snow foam again then go over with a soapy bucket and wash mitt doing straight streaks right?
To go one bit further which makes sense. Dont use 1 mitt with a wash and rinse bucket. Simply buy say 8 mitts and section the car up into sections and use a clean mitt for each section. Then you reduce the chance of cross contamination. Makes sense and only cost £14 for 8 mitts.
Just what I needed
Great vid mate keep up the good vids
Some top tips there. Thanks for posting.
Think i will use that trick on my motorbike, thanks for the idea's
Are you really that lazy?
Thanks - very helpful.
Another great video, thank you
great video and great results
Good video. I also use a Karcher with our black cars. Have a go with Autoglym Polar Seal in the Lance after you have washed and rinsed. The Polar Seal will give 4 to 6 weeks protection depending on the weather and in the in between times give the car a maintenance wash. For that try Garage Therapy ‘One’ Shampoo ( 20ml in a bucket) and their ‘Two’ Quick Detailer for the finish.
Just bought the Autobrite Lance and it was very useful to watch this video, prior to setting my own up. Interested also in the maount of foam left on the drive. Have yet to decide how to dispose of it!
Wet the floor first before washing the car!
Ill try your method over the weekend and get back to you as ive bought an adaptor for my stanley pressure washer so itll be the first time i try it as ive been using snow foam on hose pipe adaptor which is rubbish tbh
Outstanding video!! Thank you!!!
Thanks
Gonna try this this weekend as got a new black car, will let you the results 😉
Ur car looked awesome 👌 Bro.
Great video! Buying all the kit,
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice video. Great snow foam lance. I usually rinse off the snow foam before hand washing with soap and water. I was surprised the see you washing with the snow foam but it seems to work though counter intuitive.
Good one. Thanks for review
Nice one - great video - very informative
Helpful vid, cheers
That is bad ass, I'm literally 10 mins from picking this very same karcher washer. But, I'm going to get the karcher spray foam. I have seen so so many reviews saying two car washes and the mix is gone, waste of money. The measurements you mention just shows it's not (of any snow foam) just a little bit of common sense I guess. And that washer is really quiet...... I've got a cheap washer at the moment and it sounds like a tank coming down the road. Great video fella. 👌
Good job well done 👍
Dang thats pretty thick foam!
Thanks for sharing your skills 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Great review 👍🏾
Thanks a lot, I want to buy this washer but I have a smaller one with a pressure hose which wraps around it self that's why am hesitate to buy this kartcher
Thanks for the tip, I can see where I was going wrong with mine, filling the bottle right up, but i did use warm but not hot water. 🙂
Thanks for the video, subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Cheers mate that was a very descriptive video. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Great for all the information thanks
Some great tips, have only just started using Snowfoam with a Nilfisk pressure washer - Have only used the Lance that came with the washer and the results have not been great. Will try some of your tips and see how I get on - thanks
Awesome job, great video
Thanks Pez
Looks Great Thanks Again
Cheers Jimmy
Nice video mate! Good tips.
Thanks
Very good I will definitely try 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Dave good luck!
Followed you advice and it worked, loved the product but managed to find the bottle/kit cheaper on Fleebay.
great vid many thanks.. another tip: I used it on my conservatory and it also done a great job.. well done !!.
Cheers Daveyboy!!
Excellent video, instructive and educational. Thank you very much.
Simply Brilliant
I would recommend upgrading the lance hose to a heavy duty rubber type some good deals on eBay I've got 10 metres and the pressure washer just stays in the garage. and after the rinse I load my lance up with some triplewax self drying shampoo as a rince aid works great leaves a great shine and drys out it self a quick flick with a drying towel the results are quality....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 good vid by the way....
Geeman Great suggestions I'll look out for one of those and try it out!
@@stampysrandomreviews try CYR online they sell 10m hoses
Aaron Foster Thanks Aaron
top video, did you mix autoglym shampoo and autoglym polish together, in the lance ? and have you got a link to the polish that you refer to in the video, cheers
Great vid, some great tips
Thanks!
