How much Avalanche do I need to use?

Avalanche Snow Foam is a highly concentrated pre-cleaner, and an aqueous agent designed to be combined with water to dilute and activate the cleaning agents and other surfactants it contains. Surfactants are polar molecules that require water to clean effectively and, as well as pre-diluting the thick solution in the Foam Lance bottle, it's also diluted as it's drawn through the lance, passing thorough the special gauze to whip it up into the thick foam that lingers and cleanses your vehicle of contaminants. We recommend dispensing around 1-2 inches of Avalanche concentrate into your Foam Lance Bottle, before topping up with fresh water, and this equates to around 100-200ml of product. It also means that a single 1-litre bottle is enough for between 5 and 10 full pre-washes.

Does Avalanche have to be applied using a snow foam lance?

For the best, professional results, yes. Dedicated snow foam lances - just like our own Foam Lance - should not be confused with syphon-based detergent dispensers which are commonly supplied with home-use pressure washers. Snow foam lances are an industry-standard detailing tool designed specifically to whip up the solution into a foam, activating the cleaning agents and mixing them with more water to enable proper application. They do this by dragging the mix through a special metal gauze before exiting the body of the lance. This is the only way to get a useable snow foam that will be effective for even coverage, and not simply waste the concentrate in the container.

Is Avalanche suitable for use on a protected vehicle?

Yes. Avalanche is suitable for use on any ceramic coating, along with vehicles protected with previously-applied wax or sealant layers. In fact, Avalanche will not degrade any protection layers at all, and it's these non-stripping characteristics and gentle nature of the cleaning agents and surfactants used in this formula that makes this product ideal for use on any detail, including regular maintenance washes.

What's the difference between Lavish Ceramic Foam and Avalanche Snow Foam are they both for the pre-wash stage?

No. Lavish Ceramic Foam is not designed to clean surfaces and shouldn't be confused with a traditional snow foam. Avalanche Snow Foam is designed for purging heavy soiling during the pre-wash stage to prevent the infliction of paint defects and swirl marks. For this reason it contains surfactants and degreasers capable of breaking down, lifting and encapsulating grit and grime, allowing these harmful contaminants to be safely rinsed away without contact with a wash mitt. Lavish is purely designed to add Si02 protection, and only once the vehicle is already clean, so it doesn't contain surfactants or cleaning agents. It comes in the form of a ceramic foam to enable quick and easy application via your Foam Lance and (like Avalanche) will work its way into all the panel gaps to contact, and in in this case add protection to, the unseen areas. Unlike a snow foam though, Lavish should be used immediately after the cleaning process, while vehicle is still wet, and the ceramic foam should be rinsed away immediately after application, and never left to dwell.
