Active foam Carbon Collective Ultimus Snow Foam+ (5 l)

Carbon Collective Ultimus Snow Foam+

A heavily concentrated active foam that is the ideal solution for effective and safe pre-wash of a vehicle, especially in demanding winter conditions. Thanks to its innovative formulation it creates an exceptionally dense foam that adheres perfectly to the body surface and loosens even the most stubborn contaminants. An adjustable pH value allows you to tailor the cleaning power to the current state of contamination. This makes it a key step to minimize the risk of scratching the paint during subsequent contact washing.

Pre-washing the vehicle is one of the most important steps in the detailing process because it removes coarse contaminants that could scratch the paint when washing with shampoo and a wash mitt. This product was developed specifically for situations where ordinary neutral foams are not sufficient, for example during winter months when aggressive road salt, grease and dried mud accumulate on the body. Thanks to its advanced formula it can effectively break the bonds between contaminants and the car surface without the need for mechanical contact. The result is a significantly cleaner surface prepared for safe contact washing — appreciated by anyone who wants to keep their paintwork flawless without micro-scratches.

The uniqueness of this active foam lies in its versatility and the ability to adjust cleaning strength by changing the dilution ratio. By altering the amount of concentrate in your foamer you can easily regulate the pH of the final solution from mildly alkaline to strongly alkaline. This means one product serves as both a gentle solution for regular weekly maintenance and an extremely powerful cleaner for decontaminating the paint before applying waxes, sealants or ceramic coatings. Higher alkalinity with stronger dilution will tackle caked-on dirt, old wax layers and road film, making it an indispensable tool for thorough paint preparation before detailing work.

In addition to high cleaning ability, the product excels in generating extremely thick and stable foam that remains on the body for a long time. The long dwell time is crucial for allowing active ingredients to chemically react with contaminants and safely pull them down to the ground. The foam does not run off too quickly, maximizing effectiveness and saving product. Whether you use a hobby pressure washer or professional equipment, this product adapts to your setup and delivers consistent results that meet the high demands of professional detailers and enthusiastic hobbyists alike.

How to use

• Choose the correct dilution ratio in the foamer according to the level of contamination.
• Before applying foam rinse the entire car thoroughly with a pressure washer to remove coarse dirt.
• Apply the active foam evenly over the whole vehicle using a foamer, ideally from bottom to top.
• Always use 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, but do not let it dry on the surface.
• Then rinse the vehicle thoroughly with a strong stream of water until the runoff is completely clear.
• After rinsing proceed to the next step of contact washing.
