Auto-Foam - 5000ml

Auto-Foam is a premium pre-wash foam designed to optimize vehicle preparation. This water-based formula is created to remove dirt and contaminants from the paint before applying shampoo and other products like wash mitts.

It ensures a thorough clean without damaging the paint. Auto-Foam is compatible with all pressure washer and high-pressure foam lances and has an ideal PIR (Panel Impact Ratio) of 4%, as explained in the manual below. The foam remains active for five minutes to effectively perform its task.

The product is biodegradable, tough on dirt, yet gentle on paint. Its non-caustic formulation preserves the paint even with regular use. The foam breaks down gradually, allowing the cleaning agents to work and effectively remove contaminants. After use, Auto-Foam can be easily rinsed off, leaving the vehicle ready for subsequent treatments.

Not suitable for PET bottles; always rinse thoroughly after use.

Product number: 101252

H318: Causes serious eye damage.
Corrosion: Corrosive

Auto-Foam can be applied using a foam lance, hand foamer, or spray bottle. The minimum recommended PIR (Panel Impact Ratio) is 4%. 

Follow these steps only once, and remember to record the ratio on the container for future use. Fill the mixing bottle with tap water up to the maximum level. Set the foam lance or, if using the pressure washer’s own reservoir, adjust it to the maximum product flow. Use a large empty bucket and spray with the foam lance into the bucket until the mixing bottle is empty, then stop immediately. If the bottle isn’t empty and the bucket is full, halve the amount of water in the mixing bottle and start over. All subsequent numbers should be halved accordingly.

To achieve a PIR of 4%, measure the total liters in the bucket after the mixing bottle is empty. Multiply this number by 0.04 to determine the amount of product needed for the mixing bottle. Mix the bottle with the calculated amount of product and water. Foam the vehicle and let it sit for up to 5 minutes. Never let the product dry. Rinse off with high pressure.

Example Calculation with a Pressure Washer and a Monello Lancia Foam Lance:

  1. Fill the 1000 ml mixing bottle with tap water.
  2. Attach the foam lance to the pressure washer and set it to the maximum foam setting.
  3. Spray into a large empty bucket until the 1000 ml bottle is almost empty. The bucket will then contain approximately 13 liters of water.
  4. The required amount of product is 13 x 0.04 = 520 ml, with the remainder filled with water.
You don't need to use the entire mixture; it can be stored. You can also use half the amount by mixing 170 ml of product with 330 ml of water. One liter of mixture will be sufficient for about 4-5 washes, depending on your pressure washer and water pressure.

Goede foam

Doet wat het belooft. Schuimt goed en maakt schoon.

Fijn spul

Enige minpuntje is dat de foam niet de dikste is maar volgens mijn gedegen onderzoek blijkbaar de beste qua reinigingskracht!

Werkt gewoon altijd goed

Dit product op meerdere auto’s gebruikt met verschillende lagen van bescherming; wax, caoting of niets. Het tas de bescherming niet meer aan dan dat normaal wassen zou doen; vind ik. Het zorgt daarnaast juist voor een super schone lak waarmee je daarna de handwas met een gerust hart kunt doen. Sowieso is het al fijn om het vuil eraf te zien druipen. PIR is soms niet een beetje zoeken en omdat het niet sterk schuimt is het lastig inschatten wanneer het al te droog is. Ik neig daarom al snel om af te spoelen.
