Features & Benefits

Complete System Approach – Every product is selected to work in sequence: snow foam loosens dirt, grit trap protects paint during washing, hydro shampoo adds protection, and the twist towel dries without streaking. No more buying random products that don't complement each other.

Scratch Prevention Built-In – The grit trap sits at the bucket bottom, catching dirt and sediment before your wash pad picks it up. Combined with the premium microfiber pad, you're protecting your paint from the swirl marks and scratches that come from improper washing technique.

Hydrophobic Protection – The Fireball Hydro Shampoo doesn't just clean—it leaves a water-repellent layer that makes your next wash easier. Water beads off treated surfaces, reducing drying time and keeping your vehicle cleaner for longer between washes.

Professional Pre-Wash Stage – The included snow foam is applied before touching the paint, lifting heavy dirt and road grime safely. Essential for dusty Australian conditions, corrugated roads, and red dirt that would otherwise scratch during the wash stage.

Wash Pad Advantage – The flat wash pad design offers more surface area than traditional mitts, letting you cover larger panels faster. Ideal for bigger vehicles like utes and 4WDs where efficiency matters, while still maintaining the gentle touch needed for scratch-free washing.

Clear Bucket Design – See exactly how dirty your wash water is getting. The measuring graduations help you mix product ratios correctly, while the clear construction lets you monitor sediment levels in real-time.

Workshop-Quality Drying – The 70x45cm twist-weave towel absorbs water fast without leaving lint or streaks. Large enough for utes and 4WDs, the twisted fiber construction pulls water away from paint surfaces efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a foam cannon to use the snow foam?

No, snow foam can be applied with a standard pump sprayer or foam gun, though a foam cannon attachment for a pressure washer delivers the thickest application for maximum dwell time.

Is this kit suitable for ceramic coated vehicles?

Yes, all products are pH-neutral and safe for ceramic coatings, wraps, and modern clear coat finishes without stripping existing protection layers.

How many washes does the 500ml shampoo and snow foam provide?

Each 500ml bottle typically provides 15-20 washes depending on vehicle size and dilution ratios, making this an economical long-term investment for regular detailers.

Can the grit trap fit other buckets?

The grit trap is designed for standard 18L detailing buckets and fits most circular bucket bases with similar diameters, though fitment is confirmed for the included Fireball bucket.

What is the difference between a wash pad and a wash mitt?

The wash pad offers a larger flat surface area for faster coverage on big panels, making it ideal for larger vehicles, while mitts provide more control in tight areas and contours.

Is the wash pad safe for matte paint finishes?

Yes, the microfiber construction is gentle enough for matte and satin finishes, though always test in an inconspicuous area first and avoid circular motions on matte surfaces.
