One of the best foam reviews i've come across mate, keep up the good work!

@rovingrods 9 месяцев назад

Jon, I've been steadily working my way through your videos and I've got to say they are brilliant, by far the best detailing channel. You provide great information, tips and techy data. I've learned so much. The editing is spot on with a bit of natural humour. Love it!! Keep it coming👌🏁😢

@cmtrains 3 года назад

What people don’t realise is that the polar wash you should agitate it with a wash mitt. But people don’t seem to realise that. So they say it’s just crap. But if you follow the instructions it really isn’t.

@SpeckyMcSporran 4 года назад

In my opinion, Polar Blast has a price and performance I would expect for their target market. For those of us in the know, we buy Bilt Hamber. Meguiars Ultimate Snowfiam is way too costly, even at sale prices. Good job on the video, Jon 👌

@jasonwindebank5455 4 года назад

Hi john brilliant vid very interesting i used the polar blast today on my sport van and wow great coverage .I have used demon foam but gave this a go i love it and i polished the van with g3 super resin polish and it looks great👍

@FABAutomotiveDetailing 4 года назад

I agree completely about foaming cars. I rarely do it when washing my cars. Only time I do it is typically for reviews or for stripping waxes. It’s a pain plus cleanup after wards sucks. While drying the car foam always ends up coming out of somewhere because it gets in every crack and crevice. I like the testing you did showing their cleaning abilities that was cool. Great video

@TristanJCumpole 18 дней назад

Great video! I've watched a few this morning, and it states everything as straight as can be. My understanding of these foaming pre-wash cleaners is that they lift the abrasive particles that might otherwise scratch the paintwork during a more thorough physical wash. I get that a lot of people think that foam is more exciting, but is it necessary? Yes and no. Yes inasmuch as any light pre-wash is necessary, but no as in does it clean more thoroughly.

@klackon1 4 года назад

I'm happy with the Bilt Hamber auto foam, which I bought following your test of a number of snow foam products. I do like Meguiars products but they are generally very expensive.

@boofstien2 4 года назад

Me too Pete and I've tried the others. Bilt hamber auto foam is also cheaper per wash when brought in 5l, mixed correctly and applied correctly. I suppose I use 300 ml of mixed solution per car (150ml of autofoam per car)

@JD-gc7lt 4 года назад

Do you have any knowledge of using it on a ceramic coating? Everyone says it cleans amazingly well, but I don’t want that to mean it will prematurely break down my coating

@klackon1 4 года назад

@ndiggadee2663 4 года назад

I'm glad you said the cleaning power is not much. Having bought polar blast I have switched to a citrus wash polar blast seems to have no use to me anymore

@spankatron5133 2 года назад

I have used both. I’m not 100% sold on snow foams as a cleaner but I appreciate the extra lubricity when contact washing. It must capture and suspend some amount of dirt, and so I would assume that in the long run it will reduce swirling.

@KRBY555 2 года назад

thats what I do. Initially I thought they were a a dream product. There is a (thai?) dude on here that tests them all as just a foam/rinse product. Even the best is weak. The play is to foam, and use that as your base to handwash.

@nicorallysport 3 года назад

I love the color and smell of meguiar's ultimate snow foam !. And 👍 for coating maintenance !.(170ml in 830ml water!), On the other hand if I need a slightly more aggressive shampoo, I add 50ml of apc or super degreaser 👌 For those who leave it in the cold and pieces that form in it, leave the bottle in hot water, the shampoo will return to normal. Where to leave it at home warm !. In 1:20 it also makes a good clay lube. Because good lubrication

@Dustii91 2 года назад

I've been doing some shopping myself and finally treated myself to the meguiars snow foam, wouldn't get it again mainly due to cost as you mentioned (even with my 25% off rrp... but a huge pro for me is the smell... meguiars do know how to take things to the next level. The bilt hamber is last to try on my list which I'm excited for!

What do you think off ez car care🧐

@peemick 4 года назад

I used the AG snowfoam and honestly its not as good as Autobrite Magifoam (yes I know there is a caustic component in there, but still). I feel as though the magifoam helps the shampoo take off that much more dirt than the AG. I also feel like I have to pre-wash the pre-wash with surfex for it to get anywhere close to the magifoam. I honestly didn't like the polar wash (used as a spray on). I felt it disappeared to quickly, I felt I was rushing around the car once the shampoo was on there, and feel it didn't do as good a job as the ol' Bilt Hamber shampoo. Other than that I would recommend the AG polar blast if you were stuck using off the shelf Halfords products, but not the AG Polar wash or the AG Polar sealant. I'd be interested in a comparison between the AG polar wash and the Halfords own brand wash and wax.
