Used Anachem UltraFoam for the first time myself today. Never used snow foam before, but I am a total convert after one use!

Not really mate.

I took in a foaming sprayer to try it out and it works, but the sprayers are very expensive for what they are, and you need to keep pumping them the whole time.

Have used the Articulate, Gleam and Ultra Gloss twice now and they have impressed, especially the Ultra Gloss. The best thing though is the Clearview, clean windows are one of the things I get OCD about and this just makes it so easy, very impressed!

Need to get myself some of this Ultra Foam @Big Pimp, are you local to collect or is it delivery only?
Either or mate..... Whichever suits.

I'm in Belfast at least once a week, and can deliver, or you can get next day delivery from us.

Local? Our office and stores are just outside Kilkeel so may be a bit of a run for you?

Called down with @Woodcutter this morning do get some Articulate, Ultra Foam and Clearview.

Very impressed and very good at what it does. After dwelling for about 5 mins (shown below) it left the car spotless and left all the dirty remains in a nice foam puddle.

Haven't had a chance to use the Articulate or Clearview yet but will very shortly and will continue to use Anachem from now on!! :grinning:

Thanks @Big Pimp & @Woodcutter.

Without starting a war, lol, but what is the deal with snow foam, compared to just using shampoo in a bucket and a sponge?

good question @svensktoppen

the idea of a snow foam is to draw the dirt from your car, to hold it in suspension, and allow you to rinse cleanly before starting a hand wash.

some people like to think of them as touch less washes, but generally for this to happen, the foam needs to be loaded with caustics, as is seen in most car washes you may visit along the road.

caustics clean really really well, but will strip off any LSP on your motor.

For me, I use UltraFoam as a pre wash, normally in conjunction with Articulate.

My wash regime is:

1) spray down wheels, bumpers, windscreen (and body of car if it is really dirty) with Articulate
2) spray entire vehicle with UltraFoam, allowing a few minutes dwell time.
3) wash entire vehicle, thus removing most of the dirt
4) if necessary, use bucket and sponge with Gleam for a final wash
5) list car with UltraGloss
6) Rinse to a dripping wet finish!

Today for example, I was round getting the interior for our Lorry which is due to get re-upholstered. I parked the sport up with the trailer attached, and the super clean finish I achieved over the weekend was obviously great target practice for the birds, who were settling on the electric lines above.

They done what you'd expect.....


As my motor was reasonably clean, except for the birdy bombs, so didn't warrant a sponge and bucket wash, so I pulled up to the store, snow foamed and rinsed off, finishing with an UltraGloss rinse, and my sport is immaculate again!

Does the Articulate TFR remove any polish/wax etc.

I know some do, but yours doesn't smell a caustic as a couple of other cheap ones I've used?

Also thus ultra gloss, what is its effects of textured plastic?
What I really want to know is it OK if it's sprayed on it.
Would like to use it but the mk3 golf gti has loads of bare plastic

Thanks Andrew

No worries mate. I know work can be hectic at this time if the year, and when I was visiting other customers in Coalisland it was handy to swing by.
am I being daft or blind lol where is the link for ordering stuff @Big Pimp

As @weeloaney says, just PM me with what you want, with all prices etc. being in the first post, and I can get it sent out, or you could buy it from one of the retailers like @Woodcutter if you're close to him.

Thanks again guys, and in the new year I'll have a little something as a token thank you to all you early adopters, and people who are recommending my products.

As I have said before, I genuinely appreciate all off your business and the word of mouth and recommendations on here is the best publicity I could wish for.

More good results on a A6 this afternoon, hasn't been washed for near a month and UltraFoam took it away with ease.

No pics but just posted the A3 up on Instagram using #anachemni
