Need the pressure washer to apply the foam anyway, so a quick rinse after dwell wont hurt. Doing it in the rain would allow you to skip the drying phase though, so still a big time saver.
That is one of its primary functions. It has deep cleansing surfactants that aggressively tackle bonded contaminants and by proxy it deep clears the clear coat and thus a ceramic coating that is layed on top. You would ideally do this once a quarter is once every 6 months to help keep the paintwork as contamination free as possible. We have quote a few customers who use our wheel shampoo through a snowfoam lance. It works quite well in this fashion.Small world, decon and wheel shampoo are on my shopping list at the moment.
How do you think decon fairs to 'de clogg' ceramic coatings that are in need of a bit of TLC?
Have you tried/used wheel shampoo in a foam lance? I've tried a few different wheel cleaners and some work better than others, but I like doing this as its really easy to cover a wheel in loads of foam to let dwell and then agitate with a brush etc.
have you done it then Cookeh ?
so the only thing i can skip is the drying part
i suppose its better than nothing, hoping to skip the rinse and drying parts lol
Not tried it and seems like it'd just be a waste of time. Snow foam generally doesn't clean that well, it's more of an aid to assist in a proper wash by softening dirt/general grime esp helpful in harder to access areas. It'll still need a thorough rinse at the very least for a touchless/lazy wash. The residue won't be washed away effectively and risks drying onto the paint and the rain won't obviously get rid of all it. I wouldn't bother.
A couple of times, mostly in winter just to let the filth off and make it look presentable. With a decent enough snowfoam and LSP it's pretty effective though obviously won't get the car completely clean.
I'm having no luck with 8 Below. Either strips all my LSP (1:10), hugely degrades my LSP (1:15), or doesn't even vaguely touch the traffic film (1:20). It seems to have a rubbish dwell time, regardless of dilution, and dries rapidly on the car.
