I'm still a big fan of Magifoam, I like the cleaning and the clinging ability of it. Others I've tried don't offer the same cling.

I do also like Valet Pro Advanced Neutral and Chemical Guys No Touch Snow Foam they are probably the other best ones out there

Well I thought I would add my effort.















oh and before you ask, I couldn't resist covering the bike!







I think it's a result, but any need to mix it a little richer to enable it to clung for longer


Rob


Ps and for you keen eyes'ers, I'm having some masonry work done, thus the mess all over the floor and pointing missing!

Looks maybe a little bit thin Rob if It's Magifoam?

I use about 1 inch in the bottom of the bottle and top up to maybe 2/3 full. The fact you've had enough to do all that on one bottle means you may well of made a slightly over diluted mix

I guessed the mix, around 20mm at the bottom to a full bottle, so yes too diluted as you said, ah well you live and learn.

It was superfoam, and the bike was only around 5 seconds to cover so barely any mixture.

The fact is, this stuff is still great. I sprayed it over the car, blasted it off with the lance, resprayed and the wiped the car down and lanced off, so I skipped the need to wash the car thoroughly wrong I know, but the cars going soon and I've lost all love for it.

Glad you're happy with it Rob.

Super foam doesn't cling as much as magifoam so I'd say you got it about right.

Eventually go my hands on my euqitment

Dilutes with 1" to rest of bottle, approx 6-7:1. The stuff also says dilute 100:1, so which is right?



Before the snowfoam

My car


The OH's car


Snowfoamed my car was first, so that's after leaving for approx 3 mins while I done the OH's car, it went on like whipped cream.





After, my car looks great, her car is streaky, which left me feeling a little disappointed, however, when I started to remove the dead flies, they came off with no effort whatsoever, so went from disappointed to pretty happy within seconds.



Not too sure if you can see the streaks? Was it left on too long?



Anyway overall I'm happy with the stuff

Streaks could be a lack of protection on the paint ? I'd remove any fallout, then clay it and reapply some wax/protection onto it.

Don't think so mate. If you was buying in bulk maybe but I doubt they'll budge on price for 1-2 bottles of it

Good good. Are we going to start a new groupby thread. Is that the deal for the purple or the yellow.
Think its slightly wrong on the website it says the purple is magnifoam yellow.

Also ive been useing it to wash the car which is good but when it drys it it leaves white spot marks were the water as dried. What would you recommend

I'd not let the water dry on the paint Mike. If you're not 2 bucket washing the car after using the snowfoam then you'd be best taking the car for a quick spin to get rid of the water off of the paintwork.

It's probably not the snowfoam leaving water marks but the calcium in the water. I'd not use a drying towel as you cannot guarantee the snowfoam has removed all the containments and you'll just be rubbing it into the paint.

New groupbuy coming up
