Car cleaning is a favourite pastime of many an enthusiast, as well as a necessity to keep your classic and its paintwork in good condition. Snow foam cleaners promise to be one of the least damaging ways of removing grime, so here’s our run down of the best.
Using a foamer gun is the ultimate way to get the best from a foam cleaner; it makes the foam easier and quicker to apply, and also means that you’re not going to scratch the paintwork as you may with an old-fashioned bucket and sponge. But which product is best?
To find out, we mixed each of our test products to the recommended dilution, and applied them to a conveniently filthy vehicle.
We considered how thick each foam was – it needs to be dense enough to sit for a while and dissolve the grime, yet also easy to rinse off. We also kept an eye on the pH level, because a mixture that is too acidic or too alkaline can damage the paintwork.

12. Simoniz 2 in 1 Shampoo & Snow Foam
Capacity 2000ml (2 litres)
This carnauba-wax-enriched shampoo is more up front about its dual usage than most other products here, and we can see why as we’d stick to using it as a normal car shampoo.
