Re: snow foam test : poorboys super slick snow foam
Excuse me for to noob question as I don’t have a pressure washer..
I’m a bit confused, @0:16 you say ‘it’s thick, and it smells like candy’... But then @1:03 you say ‘nope, it’s not working’.
How does it go from thick [IMO it never looked thick at all] to sucking? What goes wrong in the matter of minutes to make it suddenly suck?
I just finished watching the other vids you just posted and they all have similar results. If you’ve seen 1, you’ve seen them all... Do you ever feel like it’s kind of a waste of money to buy so many soaps if they basically all perform about the same? Have you ever tried a snow foam that removed traffic film by simply foaming and spraying off? It seems like that product doesn’t exist and because of that it therefore makes it seem like the whole pre foam step makes little to no difference at all. What are your thoughts after trying many soaps in the foam cannon? Is it pretty much just a waste of time and water?

I think he was doing a time lapse, so he gave it more time than that, and "it's not working" because there was no difference between the two sides after the pressure washing.

This kind of got discussed with the new Griot's foam products, and apparently there are some more aggressive snow foams available in Europe that we can't get here, but my experience has been that foam doesn't do much, and that pressure washing does, although pressure washing always leaves a film that needs to removed by a contact method.
As far as all the "why's" to the OP, I think he has a shop and washes a lot of cars, and he's trying to get subscriptions to his YouTube channel...there's money to be made there.

I noticed he did a big dump of YouTube links here and Autopia, so that would be my guess too...
Similar to Pan, most of his posts are in similar threads from what I saw.

That was my view that he's spamming on these to get more subscribers. It would have been much more kind if he had posted one and started a conversation on it. The way he did it made me not watch any of the videos.

Re: snow foam test : poorboys super slick snow foam
I don't know if I would call it spam, exactly, he did get some interesting results, in that most of the foaming products were of no value over the pressure washer alone, although there were two that did provide some benefit. I thought the Mother's wheel cleaner was rather eye-opening with its results on the tire.
He would hardly be the first member to try and generate YouTube views and subscriptions.

If he had posted what he thought was his best video to start a conversation, and generate interest in his channel, cool. I know on autopia he posted 10 straight threads with only the video, no conversation. Doing it that way, to me is spamming his channel on the forums. Others tend to generate interest in a much more tactful manner. If you post one video and it's good . People will naturally look to see what else is on that channel.
I just hate in your face tactics.

Re: snow foam test : poorboys super slick snow foam
I think he performs a valuable service in that he tests all these snow foams and most have only a slight benefit over just plain pressure washing. So I don't foam before pressure washing anymore. I'm anxious to see if the new Griot's Surface Prep actually removes dirt and traffic film without a contact wash. Griots has posted on their website that they had to pull it because it was damaging the bottles it came in.
