We Say
Proper cleaning power behind all that foam. BETTER Thickness tackles road grime and traffic film before your wash mitt goes anywhere near the paintwork.
There's no shortage of snow foams that produce impressive-looking bubbles, but thick foam doesn't automatically mean effective cleaning. BETTER Thickness combines rich, clinging foam with an alkaline cleaning formula designed to break down road grime, bug residue and traffic film before the contact wash. That means less dirt left behind for your wash mitt to deal with.
It's particularly useful during the winter months, when road film builds up quickly and a gentle maintenance foam can struggle. The alkaline formula also helps remove accumulated contamination from existing waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings, potentially bringing back water behaviour that's been masked by dirt. It's not a replacement for proper decontamination, but it's a useful way to give a neglected finish a more thorough clean.
We also like the versatility. Thickness can be used through a snow foam lance or as a car shampoo when required, and it's concentrated enough that a litre can make up to 20 litres of prepared solution. We'd pair it with BETTER Suds for the contact wash, particularly when you want a gentler pH-neutral shampoo after a stronger pre-wash.
