Both options are supported. In a foam cannon, Nv SNOW and Nv SNOW+ lay down a thick, clinging layer that softens and encapsulates grime before you touch the paint. Rinse the foam, then perform a contact wash with a high-quality microfiber mitt using fresh solution in your wash bucket. This two-stage approach reduces the load on your mitt and is one of the safest ways to wash at home.

Bucket washing is equally effective when done with the two-bucket method. Mix the recommended amount of shampoo in your wash bucket, keep a clean rinse bucket on the side, and reload suds before each new panel. Work in the shade, on cool panels, and avoid letting any solution dry on the surface. Used this way, the kit functions as a complete car wash cleaning kit that adapts to your setup, whether you prefer the theatre and safety of foam or the simplicity of a bucket wash.

If your priority is a safe foam-first routine, this is a strong contender for the best car wash kit. You get two complementary shampoos in one box, so you are covered for light maintenance and for heavier cleans without stepping outside a paint-safe process. Both formulas produce rich foam and high lubrication, which means less mechanical friction during contact and fewer chances of adding swirls.

Where many car wash kits lean on one all-rounder shampoo, this kit gives you choice without complexity. Start with Nv SNOW most weeks, switch to SNOW+ when the car is genuinely dirty, and keep working in the two-bucket method for the contact stage. That simplicity, plus the quality of the chemistry, is why enthusiasts rate it above generic car washing kits that chase thickness alone rather than balanced cleaning and safety.
