The Ceramic Wash System

A proper contact wash. No bucket.

The mitt works through the ceramic foam, so it glides on a full reserve of soap instead of dragging grit across your paint. Four steps, about half an hour, and a genuine ceramic layer left behind every time.

Get the system See the four steps

Safe contact

The mitt carries the soap reserve, the foam supplies the lubrication. Dirt lifts off the paint instead of being dragged across it.

Ceramic every wash

A real ceramic layer from the very first wash, building with every one after. Up to six weeks of gloss and water repellency.

No pressure washer

The cannons generate the pressure themselves, from an ordinary garden tap.

No bucket

Two of the four steps happen before anything touches the paint.

Why it works

What actually matters.

REASON 1

Ceramic from the first wash

The Ceramic Snow Foam leaves a genuine ceramic layer behind every single time — protection starts immediately and builds with every wash, up to six weeks of gloss and water repellency.

REASON 2

Safe contact, engineered

The mitt's open-pore sponge retains huge reserves of soap, increasing cleaning power and adding lubrication. Variable-length fibres pick up every type of dirt safely, and ultra-low friction gives optimal glide — built to lift dirt, not drag it across your paint.

REASON 3

No jet wash required

The cannons deliver a thick, even fan of foam with no pressure washer or hose attachment. Premium pump action with metal components, and a built-in measuring jug for accurate dilution.

REASON 4

Non-caustic, pH neutral

Controlled cleaning rather than aggressive stripping. Removes dirt and traffic film while your waxes, sealants and coatings stay exactly where they are.

Watch it

The whole wash, start to finish.

About half an hour on the drive, from a garden tap.

Pre-wash. Foam the car, leave it three to five minutes.
Rinse. Top to bottom. Nothing has touched the paint yet.
Ceramic foam and mitt. The contact stage, inside the foam.
Dry. 1200gsm twisted microfibre, edgeless.

The method

Four steps, no bucket30 min

Pre-Wash

50ml in the cannon with up to 2 litres of water. Completely cover the vehicle. The dense foam clings to the surface, increasing dwell time — leave it three to five minutes to break down road grime and traffic film without aggressive scrubbing.

Rinse Off

Rinse thoroughly, top to bottom. Everything the pre-wash loosened is carried away before any contact is made — less effort, less contact, no chance of damaging your finish.

Ceramic Snow Foam + Wash Mitt

Completely cover the vehicle and leave to dwell. Wash through the foam with a dampened Wash Mitt, top to bottom. The foam lubricates, the mitt carries the soap reserve — dirt lifts off the paint rather than being dragged across it. Rinse thoroughly, leaving a ceramic layer behind.

Dry

1200gsm twisted microfibre pulls up water like a magnet with minimal effort. Edgeless, for complete safety on the final pass.

Everything in one kit

One box. One system.

“Both foams stay on the surface properly and give the products enough time to work. The ceramic foam especially leaves the paint incredibly smooth afterwards.”

Good to know

The questions we get asked.

Do I need a pressure washer?

No. The Foam Cannons are self-contained and generate the pressure themselves, giving a thick, even fan of foam across the whole vehicle from an ordinary garden tap. That is the entire point of them.

Is this a contact wash?

Yes, deliberately. On a British car there is no such thing as a genuinely contactless wash — rain carries road film and grit onto the paint, and that has to be lifted, not just rinsed. What we have done is make the contact stage as safe as it can be: the pre-wash removes the heavy dirt before anything touches the panel, then the mitt works through the ceramic foam so it glides on a full reserve of soap rather than dragging.

Why two cannons?

So both foams stay loaded. One holds the Pre-Wash, one holds the Ceramic Snow Foam, and you move straight from step one to step three without stopping to rinse out and re-dilute.

Where does the Wash Mitt come in?

Step three. Apply the Ceramic Snow Foam, let it dwell, then wash through the foam with a dampened mitt. The open-pore sponge holds a large reserve of soap and the foam provides the lubrication, so you get contact cleaning and ceramic protection in the same pass — with no bucket.

Why is Rinse Off its own step?

Because it is the step people skip, and skipping it undoes the pre-wash entirely. Rinsing carries the loosened grime away; if you go straight to the mitt you drag that grit across the paint, which is what causes swirl marks.

Is it safe on a ceramic-coated car?

Yes. The non-caustic Pre-Wash and pH-neutral Ceramic Snow Foam clean effectively without damaging or stripping existing protection. Safe on all paint finishes, wraps, PPF and alloy wheels.

How much product does each wash use?

50ml per foam stage. The cannons have an integrated measuring jug — add 50ml of product, fill with up to 2 litres of water, and that covers one vehicle. Ten washes from each 500ml bottle.

How long does the ceramic protection last?

Up to six weeks, and it starts from the very first wash. Each wash adds to the last rather than washing the previous layer away, so the finish gets slicker and the water behaviour stronger over time. Durability varies with vehicle use, weather and washing frequency.

Do I still need a shampoo?

Not for this routine. The Wash Mitt carries the soap reserve and the Ceramic Snow Foam provides the lubrication, so the contact stage happens inside the foam. Ceramic Shampoo is available separately if you prefer a traditional bucket wash.

How often should I wash?

Fortnightly suits most cars. At 50ml a stage you get ten washes from each bottle, so a set of foams lasts roughly five months at that rate.
