    Ahh Snow Foam, I put it on with a power washer, it sprays it at a very low pressure, leave it for a while and rinse it off, or if bike real bad use a sponge to wash it too. Snow foam is pretty good less cleaning by hand :) but you need a snow foam adapter, (mix of warm water and snow foam detergent in a bottle) and then a pressure washer to apply etc. I am sure there are other ways.
    I also use clutch and brake cleaner to get ride of real gunk, and tar etc. this is really good for cleaning stainless and alloy, Wheel Rims, and drys quickly, (Buy in 25 litre drums, cheap, and last for ever).
    I do not use things like Muc off greasers or cleaners, as from past experiences, and other, they can discolor paint etc if left on to long so easy to do

    There are other places, I bought my pressure washer as well from these people but I got a special offer when it was on, so was a lot cheaper, there does not seem to be any deals atm :(

    Just go to your local pound shop, they have products in there that do the same job. If they don't work very well then its only a £1 venture ha ha !

    I use them and they're actually pretty good.

    Second on the pound shop, works just as good as the muc off stuff. Just make you you use a brush rather than a sponge to agitate so you are not scraping grit on your paintwork
