Fireball Hydrophobic Foam

Bought & applied last week, washed car today & the water just beaded off leaving the car almost completely dry, if it last's a few weeks then it's the bollox

the whole idea of snow foam is to use it before washing to remove surface contaminants. This seems to be adding another step.

Snow foam/decontaminate
Rinse
Wash
rinse
Fireball snow foam
Rinse
Dry

I'm missing the use of this tbh.

No need to dry & applied once every few weeks. Do you not like beading?

You still need to dry it, otherwise you'll get water spots where the water dries.

I was at my local detailers last weekend and they stock the full range of Fireball products. Have you used anything else of theirs?

+1. Since it needs drying anyway I use Optimum No Rinse, so there's only two steps, wash it and wipe it. I'm done in 15 minutes. As for beading, that's what a sealer is for. I use Menzerna Power Lock.

No just the Fireball snow foam.
