Mine arrived within 3-4 working days so I'd Imagine it will be despatched on Monday so will be with you by the end of next week.

Post some pics up once you've used it

HUGE improvement over the Karcher bottle. There's pics of my efforts in the gallery section.

I've got the Superfoam. Mark @ Autobrite says the Magifoam will cling better and possibly remove more of the bonded containments with it. If the car's not too dirty then I'd stick with the Superfoam or get a bottle of each and see for yourself

with the foam lances, are they just a spray, leave on and then wash off? no rubbing in required?

you still have to wash your car afterwards but the foam will remove most of the dirt that will prevent scratches

As shreksta says its more for softening the dirt on the panels.

I just did the gfriends car. Pre rinsed to wet the car. Nice thick layer of snowfoam. Left to dwell whilst I did the glass and wheels. Pressure washed off then washed as normal. 2 bucket method.

Amazing how clean the rinse bucket is after. You're Basicly removing the risk of rubbing the dirt and contaminants into the paintwork. And as a result helping to minamise the risk of creating swirls and scratches to the car.

Makes a big difference.

Hi, I have an unbranded pressure washer (from Woolworths). A Deltajet 1200, but the adaptor on the spray nozzle looks similar to the Lavor bayonet - do you have the dimenions so I can check the fitment - each step and the bayonet latches are about a 1cm on mine

this is the poor attempt my karcher foam bottle does at the minute

this is what im using

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KARCHER-SN...item3f1eba6dfc

as you can see it hardly makes a thick foam and runs off too quickly,hopefully the autobrite lance works better

Shreksta throw that lance away lol

This is a AD lance with magi foam < beats snow foam by a mile







I think I have 90% of the products AD sell as I live a few minutes away I call in when I'm low Mark,Jill and the gang are great, this deal has been on DW for ages and they have sold 1000's of these... well worth the ££ in my opinion

I would go 2 inch of SSF and fill up with water (not found warm water makes any difference to be honest) If it were magi foam then 1 inch would be enough a full bottle will do 2 cars... remember to undo the bottle after your done and run a little clear water through to clean the lance
