[QUOTE="macdude, post: 161996, member: 217"] Well actually, let me help clear some of the misconception. A snow wash machine basically pressurizes the car washing detergent and this in turn produces the foam. What's important here is to make certain the right pH-balanced car shampoo is used. You are correct to presume that most car washes uses caustic chemicals to clean as these are able to clean very quickly but it also harms the clear coat. Foam is actually good for washing as it gives the detergent and the application of pressure an extra lift as companred to not having it. This helps in part to reduce the number of swirls. Of course if this is combined with inferior equipment like sponges and cheap cloths it won't matter much. HTH! :) [/QUOTE]
