Koch Chemie GSF Gentle Snow Foam — pH-Neutral Pre-Wash

Gentle Snow Foam is a thick, high-clinging pre-wash foam with one big advantage: it's genuinely pH-neutral at pH 7.5. That means it softens and lifts loose dirt on contact but won't strip the wax or sealant underneath — so you can pre-wash as often as you like without undoing your protection.

Foam first, touch less

The point of a pre-wash is to remove grit before your mitt ever touches the paint. A clinging foam gives the surfactants time to dwell and lift abrasive particles, cutting the risk of wash marring. It carries a pleasant cherry fragrance while it works.

How to use it

Through a foam cannon, dilute around 20 ml per litre in the bottle; as a hand-wash shampoo, about 50 ml to 10 L. Foam the panels, let it dwell without drying, then rinse thoroughly before your contact wash.

Complete the 3-pH wash — mix any brand

Alkaline lifts organic grime, acid dissolves minerals, neutral foams and washes without stripping your protection. Pick a product for each step from whichever brand you like — the neutral foam is optional.
