Strong Maximum Power Snow Foam

Emporio Automotive, ARCTIC BLITZ is our highly effective, high-foaming pre-wash, meticulously engineered to tackle the toughest vehicle grime.

It produces a thick, clingy film that significantly extends contact time with the car's surface, allowing it to powerfully penetrate and emulsify embedded dirt, stubborn traffic film, and heavy road contaminants. Because this product is alkaline-based, it possesses superior cleaning capabilities, making it exceptionally effective at breaking down and removing difficult-to-shift emulsified oil, petrol, and diesel stains often found on lower panels and in engine bays.

ARCTIC BLITZ was specifically designed to strip away old wax layers, sealants, and polish residues. This makes it an ideal preparatory step for full detailing work, such as paint correction or the application of new, long-lasting protective coatings. Due to its aggressive cleaning nature and purpose, it is not regarded as wax, sealant, or ceramic coating safe for existing layers, but its powerful cleaning action comes with an impressive dilution rate of up to 1:15.

This fantastic snow foam is perfect for "resetting" your vehicle's exterior, efficiently stripping off old protection to start the detailing journey on your car fresh, or even for that yearly deep detail where a thorough clean is paramount. For regular maintenance washes where preserving existing wax or coating layers is a priority, we recommend exploring our gentler, pH-neutral options: the citrus-infused ARCTIC BLAST or the dedicated pH-neutral ARCTIC SNOW pre-washes.

Choose ARCTIC BLITZ when maximum cleaning power and surface preparation are your primary goals.

Directions for use:

IMPORTANT: Always work on a cool vehicle surface that is out of direct sunlight. DO NOT allow the product to dry on the surface. ARCTIC BLITZ is an alkaline product and is NOT wax/sealant/ceramic coating safe, as it is designed to strip these layers. Always wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection.

• Dilute Product:

• • For Foam Lance: Pour ARCTIC BLITZ into your foam lance bottle. For maximum cleaning power and stripping capabilities, start with a dilution ratio of 1:3 (1 part product to 3 parts water). For lighter duty or less aggressive stripping, you can dilute up to 1:15. Adjust this ratio based on your foam lance's performance and desired foam thickness. (As a guide: typically 150ml of product in a 1-litre foam lance bottle, topped with water, will yield a 1:15 dilution in the bottle).

• Apply Foam: Attach the foam lance to your pressure washer. Apply a generous, even layer of ARCTIC BLITZ foam over the entire vehicle. Work systematically from bottom panels to top to ensure the longest possible dwell time on lower, typically dirtier sections.
• Allow to Dwell: Allow the foam to dwell on the surface for 5-10 minutes. This dwell time is crucial for the alkaline detergents to penetrate and break down grime and old protection layers. Under no circumstances should the product be allowed to dry on the vehicle's surface, as this can cause etching or staining.
• Rinse Thoroughly: IMMEDIATELY and thoroughly rinse the entire vehicle with a strong, consistent stream of clean water (a pressure washer is highly recommended). Start rinsing from the top of the vehicle and work your way downwards, ensuring all foam, loosened contaminants, and product residue are completely flushed away from all surfaces and crevices.
• Proceed to Next Steps: After a complete rinse, the vehicle is now optimally prepared for subsequent detailing steps such as chemical decontamination (e.g., iron remover, tar remover), mechanical decontamination (e.g., clay bar), paint correction (polishing), or the application of new protection (wax, sealant, or ceramic coating).

When to Use:

Emporio Automotive, offers four distinct snow foams tailored to specific cleaning needs. ARCTIC SNOW pH Neutral Snow Foam is a gentle, everyday cleaner ideal for routine washes and maintenance, preserving existing waxes and sealants. ARCTIC BLAST Citrus Snow Foam provides enhanced cleaning power, effectively tackling heavier grime and oily residues with its citrus-infused formula, suitable for pre-wash stages or when a deeper clean is required. ARCTIC BLITZ High Alkaline Snow Foam is designed for heavily soiled vehicles or stripping old waxes/sealants; use with caution as its high alkalinity can affect sensitive surfaces and should be reserved for thorough decontamination washes. ARCTIC BLIZZARD caustic 'contactless' Snow Foam is the most potent, It's especially powerful at cutting through and dissolving harsh winter road grime and salt, ensuring your vehicle remains pristine year-round. Use sparely though as prolonged regular use can degrade LSP's unless you intend to reapply afterwards.
