• Model: Koc000172

• Fragrance: Cherry
• Application: Pre-wash, hand wash, active foam wash
• Compatibility: Safe for painted surfaces protected with wax or Coating

Koch Chemie GSF Gentle Snow Foam is an active foam wash with a neutral pH and a distinctive cherry fragrance. The product is designed for use as a Snow Foam pre-wash via a manual foam lance or pressure washer, but works equally well as a classic hand wash shampoo. The thick, uniform layer of foam adheres effectively to the bodywork and helps to loosen dirt without attacking existing protective layers.

Thanks to its neutral pH value, GSF Gentle Snow Foam is safe to use on painted surfaces protected with wax or Coating. The foam clings to the surface for an extended period, providing sufficient dwell time to dissolve road dirt particles and light contaminants. For heavier soiling or insect residue, the product can be combined with Koch Chemie Green Star for enhanced cleaning performance. See more Koch Chemie products for car care in our range.

The 5 L packaging is suited to professional use with high consumption, making it appropriate for detailing studios and reconditioning workshops that carry out pre-washing on a daily basis.

What is GSF Gentle Snow Foam and why choose it?

GSF Gentle Snow Foam is a versatile foam wash that combines the properties of a traditional Snow Foam pre-wash with an effective hand wash shampoo. The neutral pH value means the product does not break down or strip existing protective layers such as wax or Ceramic Coating, which is essential during regular washing of treated vehicles.

The dense, long-lasting foam provides good lubrication throughout the wash process, reducing the risk of inflicting swirl marks or scratches in the paintwork. The option to combine it with Koch Chemie Green Star makes the product flexible for varying levels of soiling – from a light weekly wash to more demanding cleaning after extended driving.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does Koch Chemie GSF Gentle Snow Foam work on cars treated with Ceramic Coating?

Yes. Koch Chemie GSF Gentle Snow Foam has a neutral pH value, which means the product does not break down or strip Ceramic Coating, wax, or other protective layers on the paintwork. The product has been developed specifically to be safe for regular use on protected paint surfaces without compromising the longevity of the protection.

What volume and dilution ratios apply to Koch Chemie GSF Gentle Snow Foam?

Koch Chemie GSF Gentle Snow Foam is supplied in a 5 L container. When used as a Snow Foam, mix approximately 20 ml of product per 1 L of water in the foam lance. For hand washing, use 50 ml per 10 L of water. The product can also be used with a pressure washer fitted with a foam attachment. For heavy soiling or insect residue, 10–30 ml of Koch Chemie Green Star can be added to the ready-mixed Snow Foam solution for enhanced performance.

What sets Koch Chemie GSF Gentle Snow Foam apart from other Snow Foam products on the market?

Koch Chemie GSF Gentle Snow Foam combines three applications in a single product: Snow Foam for pre-washing via a foam lance, hand wash shampoo, and active foam wash with the addition of Green Star. The neutral pH value and the long-lasting, dense foam layer distinguish the product from more aggressive pre-wash agents that can damage existing protective layers. The cherry fragrance and the high concentration in the 5 L packaging make it particularly cost-effective for professional use. See also more Snow Foam products for pre-washing in our range.
