Never done it before and want to try it. I have a Karcher K3 which I use regularly, what else apart from Snow Foam do I require and what is the best product to use?
Thanks.

You need a foam lance which goes on the end of your pressure washer. Get them from places like clean your car. I use built hamber snow foam and it's good.

Thanks.  What dilution rate should I be using and should I use a shampoo with it as I've heard a few people doing that?

I use it 4:1, got 5 litres of it for £12 so will last a while.

Personally I don't use any shampoo with the snow foam. Just put about an inch or 2 in the bottle and fill the rest with water.

Thank you very much guys.  Will give it a go in the next couple of weeks.
I take it it's just snowfoam on, rinse off.

You have to snowfoam it, then rinse, then wash with your mitt and shampoo like normal...

I snow, rinse, snow, rinse then dry. I only need to take a mitt to it maybe once per month.
Using about 1-2 inches in the 1L bottle. I got my stuff from eBay - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/AUTO-RAE-CHEM?_rdc=1
That's with this wax - http://www.swissvax.com/

Which one of the swissvax waxes do you use out of interest? I'll take a guess at Onyx?

I had it applied by a detailer, it's too expensive for me! It's supposed to last quite some time. Had mine done about 2months or so ago and it's still going good (was just 1 coat).
