Its a pre wash aid.
so only should he really used when necessary.
If the car is just dusty then i wouldnt personally. But if its covered then it does help remove stubborn stuff prior to hand washing.

Why? Apart from maybes wasted product but I'm guessing because it will affect the durable of the wax/sealant for the worst ?

Why take unnecessary steps??

Yes if you don't need it then why make the effort?
product cost
effect to lsp
extra time spent

The idea of snow foam is to take dirt particles off the car so that you don't rub them into the paint with your mitt when washing. So if the cars just dusty then although there's not much point it does still help a bit, but its far more effective when the car is dirtier obviously.

When the car is only dusty some people just snow foam/ rinse and then dry the car so you don't have to touch the paint with a mitt but personally I never do this as its never properly clean.

In the summer if it's not rained and you've only driven your car say around town for the shopping then there's absolutely no need to snow foam your car :) especially if it's well waxed and protected.
Unless of course you want to! because it is fun
but strictly speaking you're just using unecessary product and degrading your LSP a little bit quicker than necessary. rule #1 is always use the least aggressive method possible  :happy2:
