Chemical Guys Snow Foam Car Wash Soap — Sticky Snowball Cherry 16 oz, Thick Clinging Foam & pH-Balanced

Chemical Guys Sticky Snowball Ultra Snow Foam is a concentrated cherry-scented car wash soap that produces thick, clingy foam to lift and suspend dirt while protecting waxes and sealants.

Sticky Snowball is formulated to create dense, long-lasting suds that adhere to vertical surfaces so grime is encapsulated and removed safely rather than scrubbed into clear coat. Its pH-balanced formula is gentle on paint, trim, glass and protective coatings while added gloss enhancers leave a high-sheen finish. Designed for bucket washing, foam guns, or foam cannons, this 16 oz bottle stretches far and lets you dial foam thickness to match your equipment and washing style.

How do I use Sticky Snowball to get the best foam?

There are two common approaches: the traditional two-bucket hand wash and foaming with a gun or cannon. For a bucket wash you’ll add a small measured amount per five-gallon bucket; for a foam gun or cannon you’ll dilute in the solution tank and adjust air/solution settings until you reach your preferred foam density.

• Bucket method: 1 oz per 5-gallon bucket; wash top to bottom with a microfiber mitt.
• Foam cannon: start with 2 oz in a 32 oz tank and adjust for thicker foam.
• Rinse mitt in a separate clean-water bucket to reduce recontamination.
• Use a separate bucket or product for wheels and tires to avoid cross-contamination.

Will it strip wax, sealants, or ceramic coatings?

Sticky Snowball is pH-balanced and formulated to be gentle on protective surface layers. It is designed to clean without aggressively removing waxes or many common sealants and coatings, though extremely dilution-sensitive coatings may still require a wash product specified by the coating manufacturer.

• Safe for use over wax, many sealants, and common ceramic coatings.
• pH-balanced to minimize stripping of protective layers when used as directed.
• Avoid overly concentrated mixes on highly delicate or manufacturer-restricted coatings.
• Always follow coating makers’ maintenance guidance for best results.

What results can I expect after rinsing and drying?

After a full wash and rinse, Sticky Snowball leaves vehicles with a glossy, just-waxed appearance thanks to built-in gloss enhancers. Its slick rinsing action helps water sheet off and reduces streaking, making drying faster and less likely to create water spots when used properly.

• Thick foam that clings to vertical panels to maximize dwell time.
• Enhanced gloss that visually lifts shine post-wash.
• Slick rinsing to speed water removal and reduce streaking.
• Cherry scent for a pleasant wash experience.

Who is this for: Sticky Snowball is aimed at car owners and detailers who want a foaming car soap that produces high-sheen results without aggressively stripping protective finishes. It’s a practical choice for hobbyists, weekend washers, and professional detailers who use bucket washing or foam-spraying tools and want controllable, clingy suds that make cleaning safer and easier. Suitable for nearly all vehicle makes and large recreational vehicles when used according to directions, it’s ideal for anyone who values lubrication, encapsulation of dirt, and a better-looking finish after every wash.
