Cars For Sale in Leicester-Why You Should Snow Foam Your Car
Here’s a great tip from cars for sale in Leicester. Whether you are buying a new car or quality second hand car and want to preserve it’s paintwork, start by using whats know as snow foaming. Before washing your car the regular way it’s very beneficial to snow foam or pre foam with a particular cleaning product to really help lift dirt and grime.
Cars for sale have usually been polished which is labour intensive and needs preserving as much as possible from swirl scratches that can start to ruin the new car paint and Snow foaming your car is the way to do it.
Pre foaming your new or used car lifts all the hard to wash surface grime. All the dirt is collected in the foam and runs off the car. When the dirt is left on the car the washing tends to rub in the dirt causing swirls and light scratching.
Pre wetting with hose pipe or pressure washer is good but not as effective at lifting road dirt like snow foam prior to washing.
A few pressure washers will have chemical injection systems so detergents can be premixed. With this kind of pressure washer you can pre foam your new car and it’s better than simply rinsing but not as well as a dedicated foam lance attachment because there’s no injected air to help make the actuall foam.
With different lance attachments and foam products available the strength and foam thickness can be altered according to the level of detergent used and adjustment of the air injection on the lance.
Pre foaming the car dry works best as this more easily lifts and removes the dirt. A wet car will lesson the foam effect as it more easily slips off without doing it’s lifting job effectively.
Pre foam the entire surface of your car including wheels, tyres and arches. When there is enough foam all over the car, leave it to run off and dissapear. After the foam has had time to do its job you can rinse off with the hose or pressure washer. Remove all visible signs of foam and dirt before commencing the wash to avoid washing in any dirt particles.
As the dirt and grime runs off the car in the foam you should notice a big difference. A badly soiled car surface may need a second application before rinsing off.
Foaming is also very useful for cleaning larger vehicles such as caravans, boats or trucks as this is what it was initially designed for. You can foam and rinse right into those akward places unreachable by hand without problems, great for used cars that may still have grime in awkward places.
Whether Skoda, BMW, Audi or Volkswagon once you have found your dream ride among all the cars for sale in Leicester and pre foaming has become part of you car washing routine, you can also use snow foam on the greenhouse, conservatory and guttering of your house to really smarten up your whole property.
