Stjarnagloss Glö Hydrophobic Snow Foam
Stjarnagloss Glö Protective Snow Foam – 1L
Add gloss, hydrophobic protection and impressive water beading after your contact wash with Stjarnagloss Glö.
Designed as a protective snow foam rather than a cleaning foam, Glö combines the foam application experience of Snö with the hydrophobic finishing characteristics of Glatt.
It is used after the vehicle has already been pre-washed and contact washed, allowing you to apply a layer of protection quickly and easily through a snow foam cannon.
Once applied, the foam begins to crackle and disperse, leaving the paintwork and glass looking glossier and more strongly hydrophobic before the final rinse and drying stage.
Available in 1L only.
Why Choose Stjarnagloss Glö?
Glö is designed for detailers who want to add protection without introducing an extra hand-application stage.
It combines:
- Snow foam application
- Hydrophobic protection
- Added gloss
- Strong water beading
- Easy rinse-off application

This makes it ideal for regular maintenance washes where you want a protected, glossy finish with minimal extra effort.

Protective Foam, Not a Cleaning Foam
Glö is not intended to replace your normal pre-wash or contact wash stages.
It should be used after the vehicle has already been cleaned.
A typical process is:
- Pre-wash the vehicle.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Contact wash with shampoo.
- Rinse again.
- Apply Glö through a snow foam cannon.
- Allow the protective foam to disperse.
- Rinse thoroughly.
- Towel dry.
This makes Glö a finishing stage rather than a cleaning stage.
Combines Snö & Glatt Characteristics
The concept behind Glö is simple: combine the enjoyable foam application of Snö with the water-repelling finish of Glatt.
Rather than spraying on a rinse aid manually, Glö lets you apply protection across the entire vehicle through a snow foam lance.
The result is a quicker and more uniform protective step.
Adds Hydrophobic Protection
Glö leaves behind a hydrophobic layer designed to improve water behaviour across the vehicle.
Once rinsed, you should see water:
- Bead more strongly
- Run from the surface more easily
- Sit less flat on the paint
- Disperse more quickly during drying
This helps make future maintenance easier while giving the car a freshly protected appearance.
Adds Gloss
Alongside its water-repelling behaviour, Glö is designed to enhance gloss.
After rinsing and drying, the paintwork can appear:
- Deeper
- Glossier
- Cleaner
- More freshly detailed
It is particularly useful for owners who want a quick finishing step after a normal maintenance wash.
Suitable for Paintwork & Glass
Glö can be applied across suitable exterior paintwork and glass.
This provides a more uniform hydrophobic effect across the vehicle rather than protecting paint alone.
The result is especially noticeable during rain or the final rinse stage.
Crackling & Dispersing Foam
Unlike a conventional pre-wash foam that sits on the surface to loosen dirt, Glö behaves differently.
As the product works, the foam begins to crackle and disperse as the hydrophobic effect takes hold.
This visual change helps make the application stage both satisfying and easy to monitor.
Best Used with a Professional Snow Foam Cannon
For best results, apply Glö through a proper snow foam cannon connected to a pressure washer.
Stjarnagloss recommends a pressure washer capable of 130bar or more.
A good foam cannon helps provide:
- Even product distribution
- Consistent coverage
- Better foam structure
- More efficient use of concentrate
Approximately 20–40 Protective Layers Per Litre
Stjarnagloss estimates that one litre of Glö concentrate is enough for approximately 20–40 applications.
The exact number will depend on:
- Dilution
- Foam cannon setup
- Vehicle size
- Amount of mixture used
- Pressure washer performance
You may not need to use a full foam bottle on one vehicle.
Ideal for Maintenance Washing
Glö is particularly well suited to regular maintenance washes.
It adds protection without the extra time required for:
- Hand-applied waxes
- Traditional sealants
- More involved protection products
This makes it especially useful for:
- Weekly washes
- Fortnightly washes
- Winter maintenance
- Quick show preparation
- Regularly driven vehicles
Ideal as a Protection Top-Up
Glö can also be used as a maintenance layer over existing protection.
It is a convenient way to refresh hydrophobic behaviour between more intensive detailing sessions.
Faster Drying
Because Glö encourages water to bead and disperse more easily, less water may remain sitting flat across the vehicle after the final rinse.
This can make towel drying:
- Faster
- Easier
- More efficient
It can also help reduce the likelihood of water spots forming if the vehicle is dried promptly.
Glö vs Regular Snö
Stjarnagloss Snö
Designed for:
- Pre-wash cleaning
- Loosening dirt
- Increasing dwell time
- Use before contact washing
Stjarnagloss Glö
Designed for:
- Post-wash protection
- Adding gloss
- Increasing hydrophobicity
- Use after contact washing
They perform very different jobs despite both being applied as foam.
Glö vs Glatt
Stjarnagloss Glatt
- Applied as a rinse aid
- Quick hydrophobic protection
- Spray-on finishing stage
Stjarnagloss Glö
- Applied through a snow foam cannon
- Protective foaming application
- Broader, more immersive coverage
Both are designed to improve water behaviour, but Glö offers a more foam-based application experience.
How to Use Stjarnagloss Glö
- Complete your normal pre-wash.
- Rinse the vehicle thoroughly.
- Carry out the contact wash.
- Rinse again.
- Add Glö to your snow foam cannon at the recommended dilution.
- Apply evenly across the vehicle.
- Allow the foam to crackle and disperse.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry with a suitable microfibre drying towel.
Do not use Glö as a substitute for cleaning a dirty vehicle first.
Important: Flush Your Snow Foam Cannon After Every Use
This is essential.
Hydrophobic and sealant-based snow foams can build up inside the gauze and internal components of a snow foam cannon.
If not flushed, this can reduce foam performance or cause the lance to stop working correctly.
After every use of Glö:
- Empty any remaining product mixture.
- Fill the bottle with clean water.
- Run approximately 1 litre of pure water through the snow foam lance.
- Continue until the system is thoroughly flushed.
This should be done every time Glö is used.
Why Flushing Matters
The hydrophobic chemistry that makes Glö effective on paint can also coat the internal surfaces of the foam cannon.
Over time, this may clog:
- Gauze
- Mesh filters
- Internal passages
- Lance components
Regular flushing helps prevent this build-up and protects the performance of your foam cannon.

Stjärnagloss Glo FAQs
What is Stjärnagloss Glö?
Stjärnagloss Glö is a hydrophobic snow foam designed to add gloss, water repellency and paint protection after the wash process. Applied through a snow foam lance after your contact wash, Glö leaves behind a protective layer that enhances shine and encourages impressive water beading.
When should I use Glö?
Glö should be used after your pre-wash and contact wash stages. Unlike traditional snow foams, it is not designed to clean heavily soiled vehicles but instead adds gloss and protection to freshly cleaned surfaces.
How do I apply Stjärnagloss Glö?
Add Glö to your snow foam cannon, apply it to a freshly washed vehicle, allow it to dwell briefly and then rinse thoroughly before drying. For best results, use a pressure washer and snow foam lance.
How long does a bottle of Glö last?
Depending on dilution rates and vehicle size, a 1-litre bottle can provide approximately 20–40 applications, making it a cost-effective way to add protection during your regular wash routine.
Do I need to clean my snow foam lance after using Glö?
Yes. As with many hydrophobic or sealant-based snow foams, it is recommended to flush your snow foam lance with clean water after use to prevent residue building up inside the lance.
