Active foam Carbon Collective Ultimus Snow Foam+ (1 l)

Carbon Collective Ultimus Snow Foam+

Carbon Collective Ultimus Snow Foam+ is a highly effective, concentrated active foam specially formulated for safe, deep pre-washing of vehicles in the most demanding conditions. This innovative product creates a dense, stable foam with exceptional adhesion to the bodywork, allowing effective loosening of even the most stubborn contaminants before contact washing. Thanks to variable dilution options and adjustable pH, it easily adapts to the level of contamination on your vehicle.

During winter months and adverse weather, heavy layers of aggressive road dirt, salts and abrasive particles accumulate on the paint. Attempting to wash such a vehicle by contact alone with a wash mitt would inevitably cause micro-scratches and swirl marks. That is why this active foam is a vital step in safe pre-wash. Its special formula effectively encapsulates and loosens even the toughest contaminants so they safely run off the surface. The dense and stable foam blanket adheres to the paint, significantly extending dwell time of the cleaning agents and maximising the efficiency of the pre-wash process.

What makes this product exceptional is its versatility and the ability to set the optimal pH according to current needs. By changing the dilution ratio in the foamer you can easily adjust the cleaning strength to match the vehicle’s condition. Lower concentrations are ideal for regular weekly maintenance of vehicles with ceramic protection, gently removing dust and light films without damaging protective layers. Higher concentrations increase pH and provide the chemical strength needed to remove ingrained winter deposits or for full paint decontamination prior to applying new waxes or sealants. This flexibility makes the product indispensable for demanding detailers.

Working with this active foam delivers excellent results and eases subsequent washing steps. When used with a quality foamer it produces a rich consistency that does not run off too quickly and can remain on the bodywork for up to fifteen minutes without drying. During this time the active ingredients aggressively break down road film, grease and organic contaminants. After rinsing with pressure water the vehicle’s surface is left free of the coarsest dirt, dramatically reducing the risk of paint damage during subsequent hand washing with shampoo. The formula is developed with modern protective technologies in mind, so when used correctly it cleans effectively without undesired weakening of existing nanotech coatings.

How to use

• The basis of successful washing is choosing the correct dilution ratio according to the vehicle's level of contamination.
• Before applying the active foam, thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle with pressure water.
• This initial rinse removes the coarsest dirt and facilitates the action of the active foam.
• Apply the active foam evenly to the whole vehicle from top to bottom using a foamer.
• Always apply the product in the shade and on a cool surface; the car must not be hot or frozen.
• Leave the foam to work for approximately 5 to 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with a strong water jet until only clear water runs off.
• After rinsing, continue with the next step of gentle contact washing.
