The smarter first step to a safer, deeper clean.
A proper wash should start before you ever touch the paint. Nielsen pH Neutral Snow Foam is designed to do the heavy lifting upfront, loosening grime, softening stubborn deposits, and breaking down road contamination so it can be safely rinsed away before contact washing begins. By reducing the amount of dirt left on the surface, it helps minimise the risk of swirl marks and marring during the main wash stage.
Its surfactant-driven, pH-neutral chemistry cleans effectively without attacking protective layers such as waxes, sealants, or coatings. Dirt particles are encapsulated and lifted from the surface, while a high-cling formula delivers extended dwell time, keeping the foam active for longer without drying too quickly. This allows for more efficient cleaning without the need for scrubbing.
Powerful yet gentle, Nielsen pH Neutral Snow Foam is safe for all exterior surfaces, including paintwork, wraps, matte finishes, and existing protection layers. Whether you’re a weekend driveway detailer or a professional valeter, this is the correct starting point for a safer, more effective car cleaning routine.
