Re: Snow foam
I just use the muckoff stuff that came with the jetwash. Seems to do the job.

Re: Snow foam
I use my car stuff. It's called Bubbly Jubbly by Envy Car Care. Clings for a long time and actually does good cleaning too.
If you buy it, get yourself a 1L bottle of Evolution (wheel cleaner). This stuff is insanely good and will last you years. My bottle is a year old and I'm about a quarter through.

Re: Snow foam
I've ordered some of the stuff Cav recommended. It's not the cheapest but I'm happy to give it a go.

Re: Snow foam
Ah nice. Let me know how you get on with it. Play around with the ratios as you see fit. Start lower and work up. Enjoy

Re: Snow foam
I tried the 10% shampoo to water but that seemed really weak. 50% was loads better. I probably don't need to go that high in the future but this was the first wash with it.

Re: Snow foam
Ah okay, that'll be why. I've just seen the one you have and you can't modify it. Get one like this with an adapter to the Halfords fitment if you want better foam.

Re: Snow foam
I usually use about 20%, and put the water in first. I measured up the side of the bottle and marked it with electrical tape... My snowfoam gun looks similar to the one Cav linked to
