🧽 How to Use Koch Chemie Active Foam

1. Prepare Your Vehicle

Park the vehicle in a shaded area and ensure the bodywork is cool before applying.

2. Prepare Your Foam Lance

Dilute Koch Chemie Active Foam with water according to the manufacturer’s recommended dilution for your equipment.

3. Apply Snow Foam

Apply an even layer of foam across the vehicle, working from the bottom upwards for consistent coverage.

4. Allow to Dwell

Allow the foam to work on the dirt and road grime. Do not allow the product to dry on the surface.

5. Pressure Rinse

Thoroughly rinse the vehicle using a pressure washer to remove loosened contamination.

6. Contact Wash

Where necessary, follow with a safe two-bucket hand wash using a suitable car shampoo and wash mitt.

Professional Tip: Using a dedicated snow foam as part of your pre-wash routine helps remove loose dirt before contact washing, reducing the risk of wash-induced scratches and swirl marks.

💦 Why Use Koch Chemie Active Foam?

Pre-washing is one of the most important stages of safe vehicle detailing.

Road grime, dust, mud and other contaminants can cause fine scratches when dragged across paintwork during contact washing.

Koch Chemie Active Foam helps soften and loosen these contaminants before you touch the vehicle with a wash mitt.

Its excellent foaming ability makes it particularly useful during autumn and winter when vehicles are regularly exposed to wet roads, dirt and traffic film.
