I do. Snow foam, let it dwell, pressure wash off, shampoo if needed, wash off, dry and wax 😄

Decontaminate, wash wheels, rinse, snow foam, rinse, wash, rinse, dry and top up sealant. All rinses and snow foam using a pressure washer.

Therefore defeating the point of snow foam :lol:  Snow foam is a non contact cleaner that gets rid of loose deposits, then you wash it off and give it a hand wash with two bucket method and a wash mitt.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does it properly. My neighbour just snow foams his car then washes it off as a "clean". Defeats the point.
