1 Minute Review: Bowden's Own Snow Blow Cannon
What is it?
Bowden’s Own Snow Blow Cannon
What does it do?
Covers the car in a snow like foam blanket to soften and lift dirt – hose it off and possibly avoid the need to hand wash. Helps reduce swirl marks and cleaning effort.
Does it work?Pretty well, yes. I’ve yet to find any contactless wash which properly cleans a car – and probably never will - even with a pressure washer, which will take the clear coat off and leave some dirt behind defying all science.
But the car looked very clean after just a rinse which got most of the baked on bugs off – the rest were much easier to get off than normal. I would have been happy to drive away after the rinse for a quick wash rather than a detail clean. And the water beading afterwards was close to that from waxing afresh.
What else do you need?A pressure washer. The cannon comes with adapters for common models. The kit comes with enough foam solution for one application, so you’ll need a bottle of solution after that.
What does it cost?
The kit costs $99.99 and the Snow Job solution is $54.99 for 20 or more washes.
Where can I get it?
Online or through most auto accessory retailers. Autobarn carry most of the Bowden’s range.
Anything else?
They’re an Australian company with a real interest in cars. The family has a fantastic collection of important historic touring race cars two beautiful JPS 635.
