Thick, Clinging Pre-Wash, Safe on Coatings & Waxes
Unleash the power of a gentle yet highly effective pre-wash with Emporio Automotive, ARCTIC SNOW pH Neutral Snow Foam.
This advanced formula creates a thick, luxurious blanket of foam that effortlessly adheres to your vehicle's surfaces, actively trapping and encapsulating dirt, road grime, and loose debris. By effectively lifting contaminants away from the paint before any physical contact, ARCTIC SNOW significantly minimizes the risk of inducing unsightly swirl marks and scratches during the subsequent wash process, ultimately preserving your paintwork's pristine finish and long-term integrity.
Designed with meticulous care, Emporio Automotive, ARCTIC SNOW is specifically formulated to be completely safe for use on vehicles with existing wax, sealant, or ceramic coating protection. Its unique combination of powerful cleansers, environmentally-friendly surfactants, and robust foaming agents produces a lasting, consistent foam that cleans without harming or compromising the effectiveness and longevity of your protective layers.
This crucial pre-washing step is indispensable in any comprehensive detailing routine, as it ensures a large amount of abrasive dirt is safely removed from the surface, setting the stage for a truly safer, more effective, and swirl-free contact wash. With ARCTIC SNOW, you can simply sit back and allow the thick foam to handle the heavy lifting for you, making your wash routine both easier and more enjoyable.

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.
