    Would you guys buy a good-cleaning snow foam?

    THESE are the products that I have been looking for. Makes for GREAT quick washes, and is great for my father who cannot physically strain himself when doing any activities.

    Particularly the ones I've been reading up on that do the best cleaning but surprisingly don't damage LSP all that much are CG's No Touch Snow Foam, and AutoSmart Actimousse.
    A fantastic comparison is on autopia over here
    http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-det...ctimousse.html
    And really, the results are mind boggling, and are not just from one person. Googling these 2 will give nothing but glowing reviews for these products.

    UNFORTUNATELY they are all found only in the UK, and i'd imagine shipping charges just to import a simple 5L jug would be massive (probably upwards of $100 on shipping alone).

    So perhaps if there's enough interest, we could possibly see AG bringing these in? I mean they're not really a competing product with anything that AG carries since we over here can really only use regular car soap in it; nothing that's designed to be in a foam gun that cleans this well.
    I know I'd definitely be down to buying like, 5 of these in gallon jugs haha.

    Would there possibly be any interest from anyone else?

    Re: Would you guys buy a good-cleaning snow foam?

    I participate in the UK detailing forum, Detailing World, and these pre-wash snow foams are a big part of a lot of people's routines over there. It seems to be a pretty well-developed segment of the market, with multiple companies offering products in it. I've always wondered why these sort of products aren't sold in the US - you'd think that anything that would help get dirt off the car before you touch it with your mitt would be beneficial. So yes, I'd be interested in these as well

    I haven't used any products that work nearly as well as those did but I would love them! Especially if they didn't effect my LSP TOO much.

    forgive my ignorance, but these foams are meant to be used before a "real" wash with a mit and everything correct? I like the look of the results. And starting with a clean car will make labor much easier.

    Nope, they're literally meant to be used in a foam gun, let it dwell, and rinse it off; never touching the surface with a mitt or anything.

    You mean the honeydew snowfoam? If you're talking about that one, it does nothing other than foam alot. Otherwise it's a normal car soap that doesn't remove much in a foam gun.
    But I'll call them anyways and ask if they have something like their no touch snow foam.

    Use a coating and no soap or APC or solvent short of Paint Remover will affect your LSP.

    I was going to say that it must be some sort of regulatory or environmental reason, but they just started selling the Iron-X Snow Foam here at AG, so maybe not.

    Agree - Honeydew works exactly the same as any other car soap in a foam gun - lots of foam, but it doesn't clean in the same way that snow foams in the UK do.
