Snow Foam and Car Wash Soap
🇦🇺 Australian made, blended in Wetherill Park, Sydney.
Two pH neutral snow foams, both blended in Sydney. Each works through a snow foam cannon as a pre-wash and in a bucket as a car wash soap or car shampoo, so one bottle does both jobs.
Orange Crunch is our snow foam car wash for cars, 4WDs and utes. It's a thick, bubblegum-scented foam, and it suits ceramic coatings, waxes, sealants and PPF when used as directed.
Green Machine is made for trucks, trailers and fleets. A Sydney truck wash runs it across 100 to 200 trucks a week.

How much snow foam to use

How to snow foam a car
- Work on a cool surface, out of direct sunlight.
- Rinse off the loose dirt.
- Foam the whole car and let it dwell, but don't let it dry.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- On a dirty car, follow with a bucket wash at 50 to 100mL per 10L of water.
pH neutral car wash soap
pH neutral means the wash is neither acidic nor alkaline, which is why it suits regular washing of painted and coated surfaces. For heavy grease or road film, step up to an alkaline cleaner like Blue Punch. pH neutral vs alkaline explains which to use when.
Best snow foam: what to look for
- pH neutral. Gentle enough for every wash, and for coated or wrapped paint.
- Foam that clings. Thick foam stays on the panels long enough to lift the dirt before you rinse.
- Cost per wash. Orange Crunch works out at 53c to $1.05 a wash from the 20L.
- One formula, every size. Try the 1L in your own cannon, then buy the drum.
Snow foam cannons
We're adding a snow foam cannon and cannon plus snow foam starter kits, with a free adapter for Karcher, Ryobi, Gerni, Stihl or Lavor pressure washers. They arrive soon.
Common questions
Which snow foam do I need?
Orange Crunch for cars. Green Machine for trucks, trailers and fleet vehicles. Both are pH neutral.
Can you use snow foam in a bucket?
Yes. Use 50 to 100mL per 10L of water for either one, so it doubles as your car wash soap.
Can you use snow foam without a pressure washer?
Yes, as a bucket wash. Green Machine can also go through a pump sprayer at 1:20 to 1:50.
Can you use dish soap to wash a car?
Dishwashing liquid is made to cut grease off plates. A pH neutral car wash like Orange Crunch is made for paint, and suits ceramic coatings, wax, sealants and PPF when used as directed.
Do you rinse the car before snow foam?
We rinse first to knock off the loose dirt, then foam.
Can you wash a car with just snow foam?
Snow foam is a pre-wash. It lifts dirt so less grit gets dragged across the paint when you wash. On a dirty car, follow it with a bucket wash.
Can you use snow foam on a ceramic coating?
Orange Crunch suits ceramic coatings, wax, sealants and PPF when used as directed. More in how to wash a ceramic coated car.
