I find it works great , maybe your lance needs stripping down and the gauze cleaning.
I also have Hyperwash but prefer the Magifoam.

they would rather sell a 1 litre bottle 5 times to you then 5 litre cheap,
as above its a DW deal but it does show up if u google the magifoam name,
I mentioned in the other lance thread that I had some

Theres a drop down bar mate, that option has always been there

I always go with the 25L when picking snow foam up, saves a packet when getting in bulk

thats it,
A lot of people can make a litre last best part of a year though if you only have 1 car to maintain, so 5 litres is overkill for most buyers,
You want to get over to detailing world you will find loads of great offers from Mark, and he isnt that far away to actually collect(cheaper then ur P&P in a diesel),
he has a wheel cleaner deal, wheel brush, foamer spray for 24 quid delivered for 5 litres, and that 5 litres dilutes right down (it claims 20-1) so it really lasts.

Tried the Magifoam today. Very impressed. Dwells for ages, I mean ages. Does a proper cleaning job too. I did the wife's car with Bilt Hamber foam just after mine. The Bilt Hamber had long disappeared while the Magifoam just dwelled and cleaned.....Impreza has Werkstatt protection, wife's car has Collinite.

I have a older Autobrite lance with a 500ml bottle on, I put 12 mm of product in the bottom and topped up with warm water, Ive used about a inch of the total tub to do the whole car, that`s a fraction of the amount I used previous (ultimate snow foam) and as said it still does a great job.
