How does it perform on dried-on winter road salt?It excels at lifting salt residues without aggressive acids or alkalis — ideal for winter washing on protected paint where harsher chemistry could risk strips on coatings. Is it suitable for use through an automatic brush wash system?Yes — the formula is compatible with brush systems and wash arches when dosed at the manufacturer’s recommended dilution rate for that equipment. Will it foam well in soft water as well as hard water areas?Foam levels are slightly lower in hard-water regions but cleaning power remains consistent. For maximum foam in hard water, slightly increase concentration or pre-soften with a foam booster. UK stock and fast dispatch from SnowFoam UK on every order.
