Here's a few pictures of a Toyota Glanza Turbo I detailed yesterday. Shows the idea off kind of well

Autobrite foam lance with Autobrite Magifoam.

Several of the offers listed Include 5 Litres mate.

The colour does nothing for the cleaning abilities really. Just looks funky

Whole idea mate is it to wet the car first with the pressure washer, then use your foam lance with the snowfoam to cover the car and leave 10-15 minutes for it to both run off and to loosen up the bonded dirt. Pressure wash off then do your usual two bucket wash.

I'd not be using a Microfibre washmit. They're not deep enough to allow any dirt to sink away from the surface and therefore not induce swirl marks. Get a decent lambs wool washmitt with a nice pile on it. I believe Autobrite sell them. If not try Dooka washpads. They're my personal favourites

Cleaned my 3 series estate today with my foam lance. This is as thick as i could get it to lay on, am i doing something wrong? I used about 1 inch of magifoam in the bottle as it states.

If I used an inch then I would only half fill the bottle with water, that will give you enough to do one car

This is with 2 inch M/F topped up with water....

Maybe thats where i went wrong then. I did an inch then filled the bottle up to the top. The adjuster on the top seemed to have little effect on what it produced, i must have diluted it too much. Even so, it cleaned most of the crap off the car on it's' own, very little effort required afterwards

Nice one guys. As said above only fill the bottle to maybe half or for a big car two thirds.

Wind the adjustment screw on the top all the way to - then back it off a tiny bit.

That should give the desired results.

Just a quick question... How safe on the paint is this product; is it okay to rinse : snow foam : rinse, and then leave it at that if the cars clean or does it have to then always be washed off the paintwork afterwards?

Does it strip any waxes also?

Wax safe if used at the correct dilution ratio. In fact I'd of thought you'd need to put it on neat to strip wax.

The rinse, snowfoam, rinse route is perfectly safe. I doubt the car will be 100% clean but you'll not harm the paint in any way.
