Why Choose a Foam Wash?
The thick foam coating loosens and encapsulates sand and grit before any physical contact, preventing micro-scratches. This matters particularly in the UAE where fine desert sand on paintwork acts like sandpaper when rubbed with a sponge. Foam pre-soaking is now considered best practice in professional detailing.
