We Say
Turn your regular car wash into a tropical treat. Thick, luxurious foam, a fruity fragrance and gentle cleaning that looks after your paint protection.
There's something satisfying about covering your car in a thick blanket of snow foam, especially when it smells as good as it looks. A good snow foam makes the washing process more enjoyable, but more importantly, it helps loosen dirt before you start working a wash mitt across the paintwork.
Koch-Chemie THE FINISHER TropicSnow is designed to make that part of your car care routine refreshingly simple. It's a pH-neutral cleaning foam with a lovely fruity, tropical fragrance, combining rich foam production with gentle cleaning for regular vehicle maintenance.
What we particularly like is the quality of the foam. TropicSnow produces an even, well-adhering layer that stays on the bodywork rather than disappearing immediately. This gives the cleaning ingredients time to work on everyday dirt and road grime, helping make the subsequent contact wash easier.
It's also a great choice for anyone who regularly maintains their paint protection. Unlike stronger alkaline pre-washes designed to tackle heavy traffic film, TropicSnow uses pH-neutral chemistry. Koch-Chemie specifically describes it as suitable for washing vehicles with existing sealants, so you can enjoy a thorough wash without unnecessarily aggressive cleaning.
Another advantage is that you're not limited to using it through a pressure washer. TropicSnow can be applied with a foam cannon or pump foamer, and it works just as well as a conventional bucket shampoo. That's particularly handy if you don't have a pressure washer or simply prefer a traditional hand wash.
The manufacturer's recommended bucket dosage is just 50ml per 10 litres of water, while a pump foamer requires 20ml per litre. That makes it easy to prepare the right mixture without complicated calculations. For a pressure washer foam cannon, Koch-Chemie recommends achieving a final application concentration of 1:100.
And then there's the fragrance. Let's face it, washing your car is a lot more enjoyable when the shampoo smells fantastic. TropicSnow's fruity, tropical scent gives it a fun personality, without losing the cleaning performance you'd expect from a product developed by the team behind Koch-Chemie.
We'd particularly recommend TropicSnow for regular maintenance washing, especially on vehicles that are already waxed, sealed or ceramic coated. If the car is particularly dirty, a more intensive pre-wash may be required first, but for everyday cleaning this is exactly the sort of product that makes sense.
For us, TropicSnow combines everything you'd want from an enjoyable maintenance wash. It produces lovely thick foam, cleans effectively, smells great and is gentle enough for regular use on properly protected paintwork. It's simple, versatile and a genuinely appealing alternative to an ordinary car shampoo.

How To Use
1) Prepare the vehicle:
Make sure the bodywork is cool and avoid washing in direct sunlight. If the vehicle is heavily soiled, carry out an appropriate pre-wash and rinse to remove loose dirt before contact washing.
2) Choose your application method:
TropicSnow can be used with a pressure washer foam cannon, a pump foam sprayer or a conventional wash bucket. Follow the appropriate dilution instructions for your equipment.
3) For a pump foam sprayer:
Mix 20ml of TropicSnow with 1 litre of water. Apply the foam evenly over the exterior surfaces, ensuring good coverage.
4) For a pressure washer foam cannon:
Koch-Chemie recommends a final mixing ratio of 1:100. The quantity required in the foam cannon bottle depends on the amount of water the cannon draws in during use, so adjust the mixture according to your equipment.
5) For a traditional bucket wash:
Add 50ml of TropicSnow to 10 litres of clean water. Agitate the solution to create a rich, foamy shampoo mixture.
6) Wash the vehicle:
Apply the foam thoroughly, then use a clean, soft wash mitt or sponge to gently wash the paintwork. Start with the upper panels and work downwards, rinsing the mitt regularly to remove collected dirt.
7) Rinse thoroughly:
Once washing is complete, rinse the vehicle thoroughly with clean water to remove remaining shampoo and loosened contamination.
8) Dry the paintwork:
Finish by drying the vehicle with a clean, soft microfibre drying towel or suitable vehicle dryer to help prevent water spotting.
