Full Description

The Stjarnagloss Snö X Intensive Snow Foam Pre-Wash is a hyper-strength snow foam designed for heavier cleaning where regular pH neutral foam may not be enough. Combining the thick, long dwell foam characteristics of Stjarnagloss Snö with the stronger cleaning performance of Först, Snö X delivers intensive pre-wash power for dirtier vehicles, winter grime, road film and heavy contamination.

Unlike regular Snö, Snö X is not pH neutral. It is a stronger alkaline pre-cleaner designed to increase cleaning performance before the contact wash stage. When used correctly, it helps break down stubborn grime, traffic film and organic contamination while producing thick foam coverage through a professional foam cannon.

Snö X is best suited to seasonal deep cleaning, heavily soiled vehicles, high-mileage daily drivers and professional detailing workflows where additional cleaning power is required. For delicate finishes, fresh coatings or regular maintenance washing, standard Stjarnagloss Snö remains the safer choice.

Key Features

  • Hyper-strength intensive snow foam pre-wash
  • Combines the cleaning power of Först with the thick foam dwell of Snö
  • Stronger alkaline cleaning formula
  • Designed for dirtier vehicles and winter grime
  • Thick foam coverage with extended dwell time
  • Helps remove road film, dirt and heavy contamination
  • Ideal for professional snow foam cannon application
  • Works best with pressure washers rated around 130 bar or more
  • Highly concentrated formula
  • Suitable for seasonal deep cleaning and heavier pre-wash stages

Important Usage Notice

Snö X is not pH neutral. It is chemically stronger than standard Snö and should be used with more care, especially on sensitive finishes, trims, metal surfaces and delicate coatings.

Do not allow Snö X to dry on the vehicle. Always apply to cool, wet panels, avoid direct sunlight and rinse thoroughly. If you are unsure whether Snö X is suitable for your vehicle, use regular Stjarnagloss Snö instead.

Why Choose Snö X?

Some vehicles need more cleaning power than a standard pH neutral foam can deliver. Snö X is designed for those situations where road film, winter salt, traffic grime and built-up contamination need stronger chemical assistance before the contact wash stage.

Its thick foam consistency increases dwell time, while the alkaline cleaning system breaks down heavier contamination more effectively than regular maintenance snow foams.

Expert Notes

Stjarnagloss Snö X is the stronger option in the Stjarnagloss foam range, built for vehicles that need more chemical cleaning power than a normal pH neutral snow foam can deliver. It keeps the thick, clingy foam behaviour people expect from Snö, but adds a more intensive alkaline cleaning system inspired by Först to target road film, winter salt, organic grime and heavier contamination before the contact wash stage. Used correctly, it is a very useful professional pre-wash because it softens and loosens bonded dirt before you touch the paint, helping reduce the risk of wash marring on dirty vehicles. The important part is control. Snö X is not the foam to use carelessly on hot panels, delicate trims, fresh coatings or sensitive finishes. Keep the vehicle cool, keep dwell time sensible, never let it dry and rinse thoroughly around trims, badges, grilles, lower panels and metal finishes.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Paintwork
  • Fully cured ceramic coatings
  • Plastic trims with care
  • Commercial vehicles
  • Winter-soiled vehicles
  • Glass
  • Wheel arches
  • Lower body panels
  • High-mileage vehicles
  • Daily drivers

Caution: Always test on an inconspicuous area before full application. Snö X is not pH neutral and should not be allowed to dry on the vehicle. Use with care on sensitive trims, metal finishes, anodised parts, fresh coatings, delicate surfaces and hot panels.

  3. Top up the foam bottle with clean water.
  4. Mix thoroughly before use.
  5. Apply using a professional snow foam cannon and pressure washer.
  6. Work from the bottom of the vehicle upwards to give dirtier lower panels more cleaning time.

  9. Continue with your normal contact wash process.

Mixing guide

  1. Use 50ml per 1 litre foam bottle for general heavy pre-washing.
  2. Use up to 100ml per 1 litre foam bottle for very dirty vehicles.

  4. Reduce dwell time when using a stronger mix.
  5. Expect approximately 20 to 40 pre-washes per 1 litre concentrate depending on dilution, vehicle size and foam lance setup.
