pH Neutral Snow Foam

Product Information
How to use

A high-cling, pH-neutral snow foam engineered to safely loosen and lift dirt before contact washing begins. Nielsen pH Neutral Snow Foam delivers a powerful pre-wash stage that reduces swirl risk while protecting delicate finishes, coatings, and wraps.

Designed to do the heavy lifting upfront, this snow foam softens road grime, traffic film, and stubborn contamination so it can be safely rinsed away before you touch the paint. Whether you’re maintaining a daily driver or preparing a vehicle for a full detail, it sets the foundation for a safer, more effective wash.

Key features and benefits:

  • High-cling, extended dwell foam: Clings to vertical surfaces for longer, giving the chemistry time to work without drying too quickly.
  • pH-neutral formulation: Safe for paint, matte finishes, wraps, PPF, waxes, sealants, and ceramic coatings.
  • Reduces swirl and scratch risk: Loosens and lifts dirt before contact washing, minimising friction on paintwork.
  • Improves wash efficiency: Cleaner surfaces allow shampoos to perform better during the contact wash stage.
  • Professional pre-wash performance: A standard step in safe detailing routines, now accessible for enthusiasts and trade users alike

Nielsen pH Neutral Snow Foam is designed to be the smarter first step in any wash process. By reducing contamination before contact, it helps protect finishes, extend coating life, and deliver better results from every wash that follows.

How to use

To get the most from this snow foam and support a safer wash process:
1) Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with a pressure washer to remove loose dirt and debris.
2) Dilute Nielsen Snow Foam at 1 part product to 4 parts water in a snow foam lance or bottle.
3) Apply evenly across the vehicle, starting from the bottom and working upwards for consistent dwell.
4) Allow approximately 5 minutes of dwell time. Do not let the product dry.
5) Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer from top to bottom, ensuring all residue is removed.
6) Follow with a contact wash using a pH-neutral car shampoo.

Tips for optimal results:
• Apply in shade or on cool panels to prevent premature drying.
• Use a quality foam lance for thicker, longer-lasting foam.
• For heavily soiled vehicles, consider a dedicated pre-wash before snow foaming.
• Snow foam is a preparation step, not a replacement for hand washing.
• Regular pre-washing helps preserve paint, coatings, and overall finish health.

By following these steps, you’ll reduce wash-induced damage and get better results from every detailing stage that follows.
