Full Description

VP-UK Snow Foam is a thick citrus pre-wash foam. It clings to the car for a long dwell time, so its cleaning agents can break down road grime and stubborn dirt and carry sharp particles away before you touch the paint, without removing coatings already on it.

It is safe on paintwork, trim, wheels and glass. Apply it, wait and rinse; then wash the car by hand with far less grit left to cause micro scratches. It comes in 500ml, 1L and 5L.

How to use

  1. Add 100ml to 150ml to a 1 litre snow foam cannon bottle and top up with water; lower-pressure washers may need a stronger mix.
  2. Foam the car from the bottom up, so the dirtiest areas get the longest dwell.
  3. Leave it for a few minutes.
  4. Rinse with water until clear.

Expert Notes

The VP-UK Detailing snow foam is made for pre-washing with a foam lance. It makes a thick foam. It comes in 500ml, 1L and 5L. VP-UK Detailing recommends 100-150ml in a 1 litre snow foam cannon bottle, topped up with water. Lower-pressure washers may need a stronger mix. Apply it through a foam lance from the bottom up, let it dwell without drying, rinse from the top down, then follow with a contact wash. Keep it away from eyes and out of reach of children, and store it upright out of direct sunlight.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Glass
  • Exterior plastic trim
  • Alloy wheels
  • Lower panels and sills
  • Wheel arches

Caution: Work in the shade and never let the foam dry on the paint or glass. Keep it away from eyes and out of reach of children.

VP-UK wash, decontamination and protection

VP-UK wash, decontamination and protection

Wash. The Citrus Pre-Wash is a concentrate for the dirtiest lower panels, used down to a 50/50 mix for winter grime. Snow Foam is a thick citrus foam that clings for a long dwell without removing coatings: 100 to 150ml in a 1 litre cannon bottle, topped up with water. The pH Neutral Shampoo has no added gloss enhancers, so it suits gloss, satin and matte paint and wraps, and the Ceramic Shampoo is a low suds, high lubrication wash that lays down a ceramic layer VP-UK rates at three months.

Wheels and decontamination. The acid-free Wheel Cleaner is safe for regular use on alloy, chrome, painted and polished wheels, and the Iron Fallout Remover turns blood red to purple as it dissolves iron from wheels and paint.

Polish and protect. Fast is a quick cutting liquid compound that removes sanding scratches and holograms, the All In One Compound breaks down from heavy cut to ultra fine finish, and the Finishing Polish refines and protects with carnauba, Montan wax and siloxane, by hand or machine. Dry Helmet is a ceramic sealant that leaves a siloxane layer, Wet & Dry Seal goes on the wet car as a drying aid rated at up to three months, and the Hybrid Quick Detailer adds gloss and a thin hydrophobic layer between washes.

VP-UK interior, glass and tyre care

VP-UK interior, glass and tyre care

Interior. Cleanse cuts through grease on plastics, leather, wood, carbon fibre and chrome, and the All Purpose Cleaner has a gentle foaming action for interior trim and headlinings as well as exterior plastics, engine bays and tyres. Leather Clean & Condition cleans and moisturises leather in one step, leaving a non-greasy satin finish, and also suits Alcantara and textiles. The Femme and Homme odour eliminators break down bad smells and leave a perfume or cologne fragrance.

Glass. The Glass Cleaner cleans inside and out and leaves a hydrophobic seal, safe on tint, mirrors and plastic, and the concentrated Ceramic Screen Wash leaves a ceramic layer on the screen as you drive; mix it stronger for winter and weaker for summer.

Tyres. The silicone based Tyre Dressing does not sling: one layer gives a satin factory look and each extra layer builds towards a wet gloss.

Starter box. The Essentials Box puts six 500ml bottles together: Fallout Remover, pH Neutral Shampoo, Dry Helmet, Cleanse, Snow Foam and Citrus Pre-Wash. Most VP-UK liquids come in 500ml, 1L and 5L.
