This snow foam is wax-safe and infused with Citrus Power, perfect for removing traffic film. It produces a dense layer of foam that effectively loosens dirt, facilitating a safer contact wash. While Avalanche proved to be effective as a pre-wash, its value for money is somewhat lacking compared to other options on the market.

How do I use Avalanche? 

Once you’ve loaded this into your foam cannon for the pre-wash stage, apply it generously onto your vehicle’s surface. Allow it to dwell for approximately five minutes before rinsing off. This process effectively encapsulates and lifts loose dirt and contaminants, preparing them for easy removal during the subsequent contact wash with your preferred microfiber or lamb’s wool mitt. What’s particularly impressive about this snow foam is its ability to also eliminate traffic film – that stubborn, greasy residue left by road oils during rainy weather. Over time, this buildup can compromise the adherence and bonding of your paint protection layers.

Even with its impressive cleaning power, Avalanche remains gentle on wax and sealant layers, ensuring that your vehicle’s protective coatings remain intact. You can trust this solution not to compromise the protection you’ve applied before.

Avalanche is easy to use, especially for beginners, thanks to its forgiving longer dwell time. However, Auto Finesse’s lack of specific recommendations for Panel Impact Ratio calculations means users are advised to add just one inch to their foam cannon. This approach may result in inconsistency among different users due to variations in pressure washers and lances.

FAQ:

Is Avalanche pH balanced?

Yes, it’s formulated to be gentle on surfaces and won’t remove waxes or sealants.

What’s the recommended dilution ratio for Auto Finesse Avalanche?

While Auto Finesse doesn’t specify a dilution ratio, it’s suggested to add approximately an inch of product to the lance. Through testing, it’s found that a dilution ratio of around 1-2% yields effective cleaning and foam thickness.

Is a pressure washer necessary for using Avalanche?

Yes, along with a quality foam lance. However, if a pressure washer isn’t available, alternatives for washing a car without one can be explored.
