Chemical Guys Sticky Snowball Ultra Snow Foam Car Wash Soap — Cherry 1 Gallon, 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 enhancing shine and rinsing clean.

Sticky Snowball combines a high-foaming formula with gloss-enhancing agents and a pH-balanced base so you can break down contaminants without stripping waxes or sealants. Designed for use in a two-bucket wash, foam gun, or foam cannon, this one-gallon concentrate lets you create exceptionally dense suds that maximize contact time on paintwork, glass, and trim for safer, easier washing.

How does Sticky Snowball create better cleaning results?

The formula produces ultra-thick suds that cling to vertical surfaces, increasing dwell time so grime is encapsulated and held in foam rather than dragged across paint. That reduces the chance of swirl marks and helps loosen embedded dirt before you touch the surface with a mitt.

• Stage 5 Clinger technology forms abundant, adhesive foam.
• Encapsulates dirt in foam for safer removal.
• Gloss enhancers add a visibly improved sheen during wash.

What mixing ratios and application methods work best?

Sticky Snowball adapts to multiple washing setups. For hand-washing with the two-bucket method, dilute 1 oz per 5 gallons; for foam guns or cannons start at about 2 oz per 32 oz tank and adjust to reach the desired foam thickness.

• Two-bucket wash: 1 oz per 5 gallons, top-to-bottom washing recommended.
• Foam gun/cannon: begin with 2 oz in 32 oz solution, increase for thicker foam.
• Rinse mitt in clean bucket to avoid recontamination; use a separate wheel bucket.

Will Sticky Snowball harm wax, sealants, or ceramic coatings?

The formula is pH-balanced and formulated to be gentle on exterior surfaces, helping preserve existing waxes, sealants, and coatings when used as directed. It conditions paint and helps resist streaking during drying, but always follow label instructions and test if unsure.

• pH-balanced to minimize stripping of protective layers.
• Contains paint conditioners to reduce water spotting and streaks.
• Safe on paint, clear coat, metal, glass, and plastic trim when used correctly.

How does Sticky Snowball perform with different vehicles and tools?

Sticky Snowball is suitable for a wide range of cars, trucks, SUVs, and RVs and works equally well with manual washing tools or powered foam systems. The concentrate lets you dial in foam density whether you need gentle rinsing or long-lasting clinging suds for heavily soiled vehicles.

• Compatible with wash mitts, foam guns, and foam cannons.
• Safe across automotive brands and RV exteriors when used per directions.
• Concentrated formula means fewer bottles and flexible dilution options.
