This is known as snow foam. Autobrite do a really good one called Magifoam. It's what I'm using at the moment.

Yeh the nilfisks are getting good reviews. Meg's shampoo plus is good, hyper wash as well. I am considering a GB on the lances but need to approach Steve first.

I can vouch for the Nilfisk fitting foam lance from Keith. Chuffed with mine  :happy2:

It makes such a difference in cleaning, especially with all the winter grime that's about. Wouldn't be without mine now.

as said you need a foam lance for great foam.  I've sampled a few including autobrite but my favourite is http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/super-snow-foam-5-litre/prod_370.html

Only need an inch and then top up with hot water.  Leaves the car in really thick foam that dwells for a good 10 mins.  Add a little multi purpose cleaner to the mix and in this weather all you have left to wash off is a little road film once you've jet washed it off :smiley:
