Polar Wash, Snow Foam, 2.5L (Makes up to 5L), Cologne | High-Cling Snow Foam Car Shampoo, Creates Thick pH Neutral Foam, Streak-Free Finish, Safe for Wheels, Tyres, Paintwork & Trim

I’ve been using Autoglym Polar Wash for a while now, and it consistently delivers impressive results. If you’re serious about keeping your car clean without risking swirl marks, this is a fantastic product. The foam it produces is thick and clings really well to the paintwork. It blankets the car evenly and gives the product enough dwell time to loosen dirt and road grime effectively. You can actually see it lifting contamination before you even touch the surface with a wash mitt. It works brilliantly as part of a snow foam routine, helping to reduce the risk of scratching by pre-softening dirt. The cleaning power is strong but safe for regular use, and it rinses off cleanly without leaving residue. A little goes a long way, especially when used with a foam lance, which makes the 2.5L container excellent value. The scent is pleasant but not overpowering, and the product feels premium and well-formulated. Overall, this is a reliable, high-quality snow foam wash that makes car cleaning easier and safer. Highly recommended for anyone who wants professional-level results at home.

Performance and Cleaning Power Polar Wash produces a thinner, yet slick foam that adheres well to the vehicle’s surface, providing excellent lubrication to safely lift dirt and grime with minimal risk of scratching when used with a wash mitt. It effectively removes remaining dirt after the initial snow foam pre-wash stage (typically done with Autoglym Polar Blast), enhancing overall cleanliness and shine without degrading any existing wax or polish layers. Users report that it leaves a slick surface that makes washing easier and safer for the paintwork. Ease of Use The product is straightforward to apply through a pressure washer with a foam lance, allowing for even coverage and good foam cling time on the vehicle’s bodywork. The foam also serves as a visual guide to ensure no areas are missed during washing. The process is less labor-intensive than traditional bucket washing since the foam does much of the dirt loosening, reducing the need for aggressive scrubbing. Safety and Formulation Polar Wash is pH balanced to be safe for all exterior surfaces, including paint, glass, plastics, and alloys. It is biodegradable and formulated not to strip wax or polish layers, preserving the vehicle’s protective coatings. This makes it suitable for regular use as part of a comprehensive car care routine. Value for Money While Polar Wash is positioned as a premium product and may be pricier than conventional shampoos, its performance and convenience justify the cost for enthusiasts and those seeking a high-standard pressure washer-compatible shampoo. It is especially well-suited for users who already employ the Autoglym Polar system for pre-wash and protection stages. Summary Autoglym Polar Wash is an excellent snow foam shampoo that complements the Autoglym Polar pre-wash system. It delivers effective cleaning with a slick, lubricated foam that protects paintwork and enhances the washing experience. Its ease of use with pressure washers and snow foam lances, combined with a safe, wax-friendly formula, makes it a top choice for serious car care enthusiasts looking for a fuss-free and thorough wash. Pros: Produces slick, lubricated foam for safe washing Compatible with pressure washers and snow foam lances Safe for wax and polish layers Biodegradable and pH balanced Easy to use and provides visual coverage Cons: More expensive than standard car shampoos Requires pressure washer and foam lance for best results Overall rating: 4.5/5 based on effectiveness, ease of use, and paintwork safety

It’s ok and does the job in a fraction of the time

I recently purchased the Autoglym Polar Wash (2.5L) to complement the full Polar three-step routine (blast, wash, and seal), and I couldn’t be more impressed! The coverage this wash provides is absolutely superb — it creates a thick, even foam blanket over the entire car, ensuring every inch is properly treated before agitation. In terms of value, this 2.5L bottle goes a long way. You only need a relatively small amount for each wash session (I use 200ml per 1000ml in the MJJC V2 Pro foam cannon), making it excellent value for money, especially when compared to other snow foams I’ve used in the past. The finish after using the Polar Wash is fantastic — it lifts dirt effortlessly and leaves the car looking clean and refreshed, ready for the next steps. When paired with the Polar Blast pre-wash and finished off with Polar Seal, the results are showroom quality. The paint feels silky smooth, and the shine is noticeably enhanced after each full cycle. The entire three-step process is straightforward and effective: • Blast: Quickly loosens heavy dirt and grime with minimal contact. • Wash: Deep-cleans the surface with rich foam coverage that clings for longer, whilst hand washing the car. • Seal: Adds an amazing water-beading protective layer that keeps the car cleaner for longer. If you’re looking for a reliable, easy-to-use snow foam solution that delivers professional results at home, Autoglym Polar Wash is the way to go. Highly recommended!

Quality product which produce fantastic snow foam and cleans superbly.

Part of a bundle of products needed to enhance my car's appearance. First time I've used one of these products definitely worth buying.

I’ve been using the Autoglym Polar Wash snow foam, and it’s been brilliant. It produces a really thick, high-cling foam that covers the car evenly and helps lift dirt effectively before washing. Being pH neutral is a big advantage, as it feels safe to use regularly without worrying about damaging the paintwork or existing protection. It rinses off easily and leaves the car looking clean and fresh. The 2.5L bottle goes a long way once diluted, so it’s great value for money as well. Overall, a high-quality product that delivers great results every time—definitely a 5-star buy!

For 20 plus years, I've been a hose/power wash with a bucket and sponge type cleaner so I thought I'd give this Polar wash a go to see if it would be better or quicker. Up to now I used the same process, rinse with water to loosen dirt, wash roof and windscreen first, rinse, wash side or car, rinse, front of car, rinse and so on. This I find stops it streaking. I have a small car (Citroen DS3) so thought this stuff will last me ages as it only needs 250ml per wash. I ended up using 750ml as the initial 250ml only lasted the roof, rear and half of one side. This may have been me as you probably need to adjust the power on your power wash. Now the car was covered in a snowy foam so the next step is to "agitate" with a sponge. This basically means "clean" with a sponge, you know, like you would normally do, just with out fancy words. The problem with the foam covering the car is it starts to dry (warm day, but not in direct sunlight) so you have to "agitate" quickly. You can see it shifting the dirt as the foam goes a little dirty as you'd expect. However, in the time that has passed between agitating the dirt and then rinsing, the car is drying so much that the dirty foam now appears as dirty streaks. This means when you are rinsing, you have to give another quick wipe with the sponge to agitate the dirt again. Once rinsed, it's time to get the chamois out, except when you start, you realise that the foam has gotten into all the nooks and the rinsing hasn't cleared it all so you need to rinse again. The finish was nice but can't say it was any better than normal run of the mill car wash liquid. It took me a lot longer since having to foam cover the car is an extra step I've never needed to do before then having to double agitate and then rinse for longer. I'll use the rest of it rather than let it go to waste, and maybe I'll be quicker next time, but it's put me off buying the full set. If you're still awake after reading this and think I'm rambling nonsense, then just make sure your power wash lance is adjustable.

Il prodotto è ottimo anche in rapporto al prezzo,usato con schiumatore è perfetto fa una densa schiuma che lasciata agire qualche minuto e poi pulita con lancia a pressione fa il suo lavoro. Consigliato

Have been using auto gym products for decades, but first time using the polar foam, unbelievable results, way better than anything I have tried previously.

Autoglym Polar Wash turns a simple rinse into a small spectacle. The foam clings thickly, sliding away in sheets as water splashes across the panels, lifting dirt without effort. Bubbles gather and burst cleanly, leaving the surface bright and streak‑free. It feels efficient, satisfying, and surprisingly fun for a mid‑wash step.

Pues eso, tenía uno de lavado a mano y para máquina no hacía mucha espuma, este en cambi osi que hace una espuma blanca densa, para un coche berlina, le puse unos 200 ml y se me quedó un poco corto, la próxima vez pondré entre 230-250 ml y creo q irá perfecto para casi empaparlo una vez y media bastante bien cubierto. Luego al rato con un guante sale la suciedad que queda sin frotar, solo deslizandolo por la superficie y también aclara muy bien y las gotas resbalan también bien. Una vez que acabo de enjuagar le soy con un soplador y las gotas deslizan bien sobre el techo de cristal, que es donde más noto si el producto es bueno o no tanto.
