Full Description

The Stjarnagloss Snö pH Neutral Snow Foam Pre-Wash is a premium double-strength snow foam designed to safely loosen dirt, traffic film and road grime before contact washing. Producing a thick blanket of pH neutral foam, Snö delivers excellent dwell time and cleaning performance while remaining completely safe for ceramic coatings, waxes, sealants, paint protection film and vinyl wraps.

Designed for regular maintenance washing, Snö helps reduce the risk of wash-induced swirl marks by removing as much contamination as possible before your wash mitt touches the paintwork. Suitable for enthusiasts and professional detailers alike, this highly concentrated snow foam provides outstanding cleaning performance without compromising existing protection.

If you want the cleanest possible finish from a pH neutral snow foam, Stjarnagloss Snö is one of the strongest choices for safe, effective pre-wash cleaning.

Why Use A Snow Foam Pre-Wash?

The safest way to wash a vehicle is to remove as much contamination as possible before physically touching the paintwork. Snow foam helps soften and lift dirt, traffic film and loose contamination from the vehicle's surface, reducing the chance of dragging abrasive particles across the paint during the contact wash stage.

By incorporating Snö into your regular wash routine, you can improve wash safety, reduce contact wash risk and achieve a cleaner result before shampooing.

pH Neutral Technology

Unlike stronger alkaline cleaners, Snö has been developed as a pH neutral pre-wash solution. This means it can be used regularly without stripping waxes, sealants or ceramic coatings, making it perfect for protected vehicles and maintenance washing.

Its balanced formulation allows for effective cleaning while remaining safe on sensitive finishes including gloss paint, satin paint, matte wraps, paint protection film and exterior trim.

Expert Notes

Stjarnagloss Snö is a concentrated pH neutral snow foam developed for regular maintenance washing where protection safety and effective dirt removal are equally important. Its thick foam blanket increases contact time across the exterior, helping to soften loose dirt, road grime and light traffic film before the contact wash begins. This reduces the amount of contamination that your wash mitt must physically remove and helps lower the risk of wash-induced swirls and fine marring. Because Snö is pH neutral, it is particularly suitable for ceramic coated, waxed, sealed, wrapped and PPF-protected vehicles. It should still be treated as a pre-wash rather than a complete wash solution. Heavily contaminated lower panels may require a suitable citrus pre-cleaner before applying Snö, followed by a thorough pressure rinse and safe contact wash.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Gloss paintwork
  • Satin paint
  • Matte paint
  • Ceramic coatings
  • Waxes
  • Gloss PPF
  • Matte PPF
  • Vinyl wraps
  • Matte wraps

Caution: Apply to cool surfaces away from direct sunlight and never allow the foam to dry

The Brand

Stjarnagloss

Stjärnagloss (usually typed Stjarnagloss) is a British car care brand owned by Dodo Juice Ltd, the Essex company that also makes Dodo Juice. The brand was relaunched in 2019 with a small, reformulated range, and every product has a short Scandinavian-style name that tells you its job: Snö is the snow foam, Bubblor the shampoo, Hjul the wheel cleaner, Glas the glass cleaner and Inni the interior cleaner.

The range is small. There is one main product for each stage of a wash, from pre-wash to protection, plus stronger X versions for heavy dirt, and the products are made to be used together. That makes Stjarnagloss easy to pick if you wash your own car at the weekend and want a complete routine without working through dozens of similar bottles.

We stock the Stjarnagloss range online and at our Ilkeston shop, including the products our customers buy most: Snö snow foam, Först citrus pre-cleaner, Glatt rinse aid, Glö hydrophobic snow foam and Hjul wheel cleaner.

The Stjarnagloss range, stage by stage

Pre-wash. Först is a citrus pre-wash (traffic film remover) for the dirtiest areas, usually the lower half and back of the car. Först X is the concentrate, made with surfactants, solvents and natural orange oil: mixed 50/50 with water it makes standard Först, so 1 litre makes 2 litres. Snö is a thick pH-neutral snow foam that is mild enough for waxed, sealed and coated cars, and Snö X combines the cleaning power of Först with the dwell time of Snö for heavier dirt, at about 50ml in a 1-litre lance bottle.

Wash. Bubblor is a pH-neutral shampoo with no gloss enhancers and limescale inhibitors to reduce water spots. It suits gloss, satin and matt paint and will not strip an existing wax or sealant. For matt paint and wraps there is Matta matt shampoo and Mörk, a quick detailer that keeps a matt finish matt.

Wheels and decontamination. Hjul is a thick colour-changing wheel cleaner that contains soap for road grime, an iron remover for brake dust and solvents for tar spots, and it doubles as a fallout remover on paintwork. Tjära removes tar, glue and bug residue with natural orange oil as its active ingredient.

Protect. Glatt is a water-repellent rinse aid that adds shine, helps water and dirt run off and makes the next wash easier; use it one panel at a time. Glö is Glatt and Snö in one: you foam the car after the contact wash and rinse, and it leaves paint and glass beading. For longer-lasting protection use Pärla spray sealant, or Glasyr, a glaze that fills minor swirls and then seals the paint with the same sealant technology as Pärla. Skära is a gloss-enhancing polish, and Silke is a high-gloss quick detailer for a final touch of gloss after washing.

Glass, tyres and interior. Glas cleans glass without streaks, Gummi dresses tyres and trim with a satin sheen, and Inni cleans hard and soft surfaces inside the car. The range also includes air fresheners, from the Roots, Angel and Jerry hanging cards to the Skönhet and Stekare sprays.

Shop Stjarnagloss by type: snow foam, citrus pre-wash, car shampoo, wheel cleaners, paint sealants, quick detailers and hanging air fresheners.

Our Stjarnagloss wash routine

Starting from scratch? This is the routine we recommend with the Stjarnagloss range, and it covers everything most cars need:

  • Spray Först on the lower panels, let it work for a few minutes without drying, then rinse with a pressure washer.
  • Foam the whole car with Snö, let it dwell, then rinse.
  • Clean the wheels with Hjul, then wash the paint with Bubblor using two buckets with grit guards.
  • Foam the car again with Glö (start with 100ml in a 1-litre lance bottle), rinse, and dry with a drying towel.
  • Finish with Glas on the windows and Gummi on the tyres.

After every use of Glö, run a litre of clean water through your snow foam lance, because sealant foams can block the lance filter. On a ceramic-coated car, use Först X at 50/50 or weaker with a short dwell time, and avoid it on a freshly applied coating.

Stjarnagloss and Dodo Juice come from the same company, so the two ranges mix well if you already use Dodo Juice products.
