An interesting geeky home test of various snow foam cleaning stuff.

I use the bilt hamber autofoam...obviously since I'm a bilt hamber whore.

It's doesn't dwell like other but cleans the car soo well. On a waxed car washing after isnt needed.

Ace, I've only got one wash worth of foam left, so need to look at getting a new bottle.

Any recommendations for snow-foam lances. Keeping the car coated with Autoglym's awesome HD wax thesedays so I could probably get away with just foaming and rinsing most of the time.

Autobrite Direct have a group buy running where you get a lance and foam for £45 fella :) Well worth a punt. Have to join their forum to get it (or detailing world) but for the sake of joining up to save wedge......:D

My lance is many years old and functioning perfectly (Autobrite). Provided you look after your lance it will serve you well. All lances need a thorough rinse through when used to stop the gauze clogging up with product.

This is some kind of record.
