Soap isn’t for removing dirt, it’s to agitate the light grime, and lubricate the surface for when you scrub.

[prestonpetterson]

I only add degreaser when I’m trying to strip any hydrophobic properties to lay down a new sealant. Otherwise the foam cannon is great for maintenance washes.

[bobbiecottrill]

Don't do this. The degreaser is going to strip off all the wax or ceramic coating that's on the paint. Degreasers aren't made to be used on clear coated paint. The soap from the foam Cannon is there for you to hand wash after you sprayed it on.

This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Foam soap isn’t to remove dirt- it’s to create a layer of lubrication to minimize scratching your paint with surface layer dirt during your contact wash

[stevefarrimond]

Foam is to soak the dirt and make it easier to remove. Not to remove it itself.

Using harsh chemicals will strip the protection on the paint.

[torofpv]

I always thought the foam canon is to give you that thick layer of foam to help lubricate the paint while using the wash chenille mit from the actual wash bucket.

[Allan]

You don't want to use any type of Degreaser or all-purpose cleaner because will remove what ever protection you have on your paint... otherwise will have to reapply wax or whatever you use to protect your paint.

[joebr]

Doesn’t adding that strip wax? Similar to going into an auto car wash where they use a good amount of that stuff to make the car clean quickly but it leaves the paint exposed? Could be wrong but this is something to think about adding to the foam cannon.

Most degreasers have strong degreasing chemicals in them that are not clear coat friendly. Over time your clear coat will start to haze which then means you'll have to cut it down to bring back that shine so I'll pass.

[jessiestienstra]

In my experience being a an enthusiast rather than a pro is that using a foam cannon and foam helps start breaking down the dirt and harder to remove particles to wear they're so much easier to remove with a wash mitt rather than having to scrub on the paint with alot of pressure to remove the contaminants. My experience. Correct me if I'm wrong

[rdeh]

Use bilthamber which will actually clean the surface, but the reason is not to remove dirt but to prevent scratches

[chrisb]

Be careful folks using a degreaser is terrible advice if your car has a ceramic coating it will destroy it and may even damage your clear coat. ALWAYS use a pH neutral car shampoo like Adams!!

[KYoss]

APC's and degreasers will take any product on the surface completely off so unless you want to start over from scratch; don't use an APC or degreaser.

[Patrick-zrtv]

My understanding was that soap wasn't to remove the dirt from the surface but to allow the liquid to suspend it without redepositing it on the paint.

[paulie]

I'm a weekend warrior at best... But even I know this isn't the right way to go for your daily/weekly wash. This should only be done when you need to strip previous sealant prior to re-sealing.

[lei_ryan]

The chemicals in a mcguires, 3m or any other car wash soap are specially designed to not damage clear coat or discolour any plastic trim panels. Using a degreaser or any soap not meant for cleaning cars is a bad idea and will hurt the clear coat. Just use a little elbow grease bud.

I apply a snow foam twice with one bottle, first one i add on a layer to remove any surface dirt then the second time i add it to help me assist with my hand wash. It keeps it lubricated and removes dirt so much easier! I recommend trying it!

[SilverDomUK]

Depends on the snow foam you use. Bilt Hamber Touchless or Autofoam will actively soften and remove dirt and grime prior to a mechanical wash. It helps prevent degradation of your clear coat with swirl marks as the dirt acts as an abrasive. Basic snow foams help wet the dirt so it is easier to jet wash off.

[christian-zfdi]

Foam is meant to add dwell time on things like a pre wash with performs better with more time. And a good pre wash will be either alkaline or acidic so they do have some pretty potent results when used right.
