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.

Heavy pre-wash use

  1. Apply only to cool, wet panels and avoid direct sunlight.
  2. Add 50ml to 100ml of Snö X into a 1 litre foam cannon bottle.
  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.
  7. Allow the foam to dwell briefly without letting it dry.
  8. Rinse thoroughly with clean water using a pressure washer.
  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.
  3. Use a stronger mix if using a lower powered pressure washer.
  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.

Top Tip: Apply Snö X from the bottom upwards so the dirtiest lower panels receive the longest controlled dwell time before the full vehicle is rinsed.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, Snö X is not pH neutral. It is a stronger alkaline snow foam designed for increased cleaning power on dirtier vehicles.

Yes, it can be used on fully cured ceramic coatings with care. Keep dwell time short, rinse thoroughly and avoid using it on fresh coatings.

Regular Snö is pH neutral and better for routine maintenance washing. Snö X is stronger, more alkaline and better suited to winter grime, road film and heavy contamination.

For regular maintenance washing, standard Stjarnagloss Snö is the safer choice. Snö X is best reserved for dirty vehicles, winter cleaning and intensive pre-wash stages.

Strong alkaline cleaners can affect sensitive plastics, metal trims, anodised finishes and softer surfaces if overused, allowed to dry or applied in hot conditions.

Snö X performs best with a quality foam cannon and a pressure washer rated around 130 bar or higher.

Yes, Snö X is a pre-wash product. It helps remove loose dirt and grime before contact washing, but it does not replace a proper hand wash.

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