As above, Meguiars Hyper Wash. All of the Super Snow Foam products we have tested have been very alkaline, and thus liable to strip wax and sealant protection.

When I ordered my Autobrite foam lance and Super Snow Foam I was assured by Mark at Autobrite that it DOES NOT contain any harsh chemicals that are likely to strip wax or other finishing products.

That has been the feedback from his customers too. AB SSF foam is really good at producing foam, and can be mixed with a shampoo to help clean.

Let's hope that is the case, as I said, a lot of the SSF formula's we have tried have been on the harsh side, but in fairness, I can't recall if we have tried the AB one yet, and if they are assuring folk that it's gentle, then I'll happily accept that (pending my own tests!). Sorry for the blanket slur.
