Autoglym Polar Blast, 2.5L – Thick Snow Foam Pre-Wash pH Neutral Car Cleane
Step 1 – Polar Blast Snow Foam
Apply Polar Blast snow foam with your pressure wash and foam cannon for best results. Spray on the exterior bodywork of your vehicle and leave for up to 10 minutes.
This removes the top layer of dirt before you wash that reduces the chance of swirl marks caused by sponge/wash mitt agitation.
Step 2 – Polar Wash Snow Foam
Apply Polar Wash snow foam with your pressure wash and foam cannon for best results. Spray on the exterior bodywork of your vehicle and agitate the thick foam with a sponge or wash mitt.
Never “miss a bit” again as you will see where you have agitated the foam. Rinse off ready for step 3…
Step 3 – Polar Seal Snow Foam
While the car is still wet apply Polar Seal snow foam with your pressure wash and foam cannon for best results.
Leave on the bodywork for no more than 3 minutes and avoid the windscreen.
Rinse off with water and watch how it flows off instantly due to Polar Seal’s excellent hydrophobic properties.
Drying time is dramatically reduced and leaves you an perfect wax-like finish…
Result
Once the car is dry you will be the envy of all your friends with the ultimate finish and protection…

Very happy with the product. Provides a thick layer of foam over the cars paintwork. Just add the recommended amount of the product to your snow foam lance dilute it with water and spray! No overpowering scent which i have had from previous snow foams. Very good.
I bought the Karcher Fj6 lance but was not satisfied with the foam so I took a chance on this ; I am glad I did.
I use the Turtle Wax snow foam and now get a thick foam which slides down the bodywork making cleaning a breeze. It uses less snow foam mixture than the Karcher and the finish is superb. This is worth the money.
Excellent stuff, you can’t go wrong with autoglym, just read and follow instructions and in great.. if your nit getting lovely thick foam that sticks to the car you have a crap snow foam cannon, it’s not the product.
Doesn’t really have a scent but cleans well but don’t put it on then wash it off straightaway leave it on for a about 7-8 minutes then jetwash then reapply then let set again for about 5 minutes then wash off again loosenes everything ready for the bucket and sponge.
worthwhile addition to a cleaning process, really does eliminate most dirt that would scratch the car. Polar process means it’s nice and easy to apply. You will need a shampoo afterwards still as it’s not a touchless wash.
You can’t really go wrong with Autoglym, I purchased a cheaper version which didn’t arrive as apparently it was damaged in transit, so bought this instead as you know the packaging is solid and it will do what it says on the bottle!
You will need an attachment for your pressure washer as long as it’s not included with your pressure washer but when you have it creates a good strong foam all over the ca
I use this in the snow foam attachment for my Karcher Pressure Washer and it is fabulous.
Really foamy, great to remove dirt and have washed the car 3 times with it already and it has barely used any. The dilution ratio makes it last forever. Great product, thank you.
The Story:
I’m a bucket and sponge kind-a-gal and have always used Autoglym products on all the vehicles I’ve owned including both my Mercedes A Class and BMW 1 Series.
I now have an Audi A3 which I absolutely adore over and above my previous car ownerships and decided to overhaul my car cleaning regime, which meant doing away with the potential swirl/scratch making sponge and adopting the kinder cloths and two bucket system.
Being aware of the damage that hand washing can do if the car is not thoroughly rinsed initially to dislodge any dirt with a standard pressure washer, thus removing grime before applying (in the past) the dreaded sponge and shampoo, I considered the Polar Trio Collection from Autoglym.
Not being one for gimmicks I always used the pressure washer with plain water to remove the grime before washing, but having fallen passionately in love with my Audi I decided to forego my resistance to ‘marketing gimmickry’ and give this range a try.
The Products:
The Autoglym Polar Blast is a Pre-Wash only; that is to say; to be used BEFORE the actual shampoo washing of the car. I have a Krcher pressure washer so purchased Krcher’s snow foam attachment along with the Autoglym pre-wash. Followed Autoglym’s instructions to the letter regarding dilution as I have never used foaming products before; and left the foam on the car for fifteen minutes (which is five minutes beyond what they recommend – to my mind the longer the better) then rinsed off with plain water via the washer wand. On inspection, by gliding a finger over the paintwork, found that all the grime had been soaked off and washed away ready for the shampooing to follow.
However, extremely dirty wheels require you to agitate with a wheel brush or whatever you use for your wheels, soaking alone with the pre-wash isn’t enough to loosen the dirt.
The Autoglym Polar Wash – as I have some Autoglym Bodywork Shampoo Conditioner remaining in my cleaning arsenal, decided to use this up before buying the Polar Wash, so cannot comment on that stage of the cleaning regime at present – but will update when I do.
The Autoglym Polar Seal was applied using the foaming attachment once the car was washed and rinsed – it is a pressure wash coating, being a highly hydrophobic (repellent) formulation for a quick high-gloss finish – allowed it to sit for the required time of three minutes. It dried to the most reflective showroom shine imaginable.
The verdict:
I will continue to wash the car weekly using the two bucket method. Once a month, or when the car gets exceptionally dirty due to harsh weather conditions, I will use the Polar Range for even more thorough cleaning and making the task easier (!)
The result was far beyond my expectations for something deemed by me to be a gimmick. I have always been a loyal fan of Autoglym and this pressure washer range and the consequential results have reinforced that loyalty – not that it was needed.
Don’t take my word for it, try it yourself; if you don’t want to spend money on the 1ltr and 2.5ltr packages, there is a trial pack that can be purchased consisting of 500ml each of Polar Blast, Polar Wash and Polar Seal; look for Autoglym VP3PC Polar Collection.

I received an enquiry today regarding how many washes would a 2.5ltr bottle do and thought that my answer would be useful here, this was my response:
250ml of mixed solution Polar Wash/water should be enough to cover an average sized car. Therefore working on that premise and that Autoglym do not recommend using a dilution stronger than 50:50, 125ml of shampoo per wash would equate to twenty car washes from a 2.5 litre pack.
