Got to be honest, i think the whole of autobrites range has gone down the pan. I had 5l of magifoam which was good at the start, longer i had it, the more i had to up the dilution ratio to get reasonable foam.
Shampoo was the same, no real suds to speak of. Tar remover hardly worked either.
Dissapointed, as there products used to be no nonsense, but now it seems to be more about the look of the bottle.
Switched to valet pro's foam and its been very good, its like ice cream!

I was wondering why my Autobrite does nothing after staying on the shelf for a few years...why is that?

I use smartfoam and dilute 10 -1 i have been using this for nearly a year i bought 5lts and leave my vat in the rain which dilutes it even more it gives a rinse aid finish everytime and i base my valet work on this stuff even sponging can leave behind dirt which the foam shows as the chemicals stick to the bits you missed once dried leaves a great finish

Magifoam every time. Offers better cling but more importantly much better cleaning ability

Or this! As good as Magifoam in my opinion and Tim who owns Envy Valeting is a top bloke and has had his own fair share of Scoobies

Problem with Bilt Hamber is you have to use it dilutes 1-2 otherwise it really doesn't offer much cleaning ability at all from what I've found.

First time I used it I diluted maybe 10-1 and within 20 seconds of spraying onto the car I was working on it was all on the floor.

What can happen as i often find with people valeting cars before i get to them is the silicone snowfoam just falls off the sides and clings to nothing
