Completely agree....magifoam is a lot better than snow foam. There Foam lance is great as well.....look on Detailing world as they often do offers on there..

I have the same as Andys link and its superb :happy2:
very well made (in fact the weakest link seems to be the plastic screw on container)

I use
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/foam-pre-wash/valet-pro-ph-neutral-snow-foam-1-litre/prod_516.html
which also seems to work well and last for ages.

+1 for autobrite. Very helpful and their magifoam snowfoam is awesome.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Are you talking about the foam nozzle? If so, absolutely crap. There's no "foam" because there's no air coming into the mixture (which is what a foam lance does). You just get soapy water everywhere.

^^^That's a new one on me! Not seen the likes of it before.

TBH not sure. The fact that the dispenser is small isn't an issue as there's enough to do one car in one round of SF.

You could always buy it and tell us what it's like.  :grin:
