Personally, using Autofinesse just now. For a while I was using Autobrite magifoam, but the only magic thing about it, was how poor it was.
Autofinesse in my experience, seems to do a better job lifting surface dirt etc. Having said that, make sure you've got a lance that's up to scratch, some of the cheaper ones don't have a very good air/water/product mix.

I use Bilt Hamber snow foam and so far really pleased with it.

I'm getting near the end of 5ltrs of Bilt Hamber which I'm not that impressed with. I have a decent pressure washer.. lance and dispenser... so may well give your recommendation a try.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Yes I've been using that but not that impressed . Could be just me.. but it doesn't seem to stay on the vehicle long enough.. .The video's I've seen of snow foam being applied .. Seems to stay on for at least 4-5 mins but i can't achieve that.

Have tried a few different percentage mixes... Which gives a thicker application but it still only lays on the vehicle for much the same amount of time.
Wish I could pressure wash etc my car.
Just the old bucket method which is a pain, walking back and forth to the house. Anyway, sorry to stray off topic.
i never really used to snow foam as one i hate having to get the pressure washer out etc and 2nd it goes everywhere and when you dont have alot of room as you get it over everything.
Have you tried using hot/cold water? Have you tried measuring exact product to water ratio?
Sounds mental, and a bit over the top, but I found using hot water sometimes makes it too watery. Perhaps coincidence, but honestly, try it!!
As for product/water mix, make sure the product has mixed well. All too often many people have the bottom 3rd of their lance a soapy, yellow kinda colour, and top 2 thirds clear. Sounds so stupid, but I've seen this many times

The BH needs to be 4% when it hits the panel, I'm a professional car detialer if you want a pre wash with the best cleaning power BH Auto Foam is #1 Koch Chemie Green Star a close second.
Both these pre wash's will not leave that shaving like foam behind, but runny foam that should last no longer then 3-5min before being off the car, this is their job and designed to work like so.
If you want that crazy foam that lasts like 10-20min your car your wasting your time and money but look at Auto finesse Avalanche , Autobrite magifoam they are great fun though
Hope it helps
With all my other cars I got the best results with chemical guys - Glossworkz. It's really good, is pH neutral, catches much of dirt and makes your car shiny.. Maybe give it a try or read some reviews about..

For the first time in a long while I actually want to clean my car myself rather than letting someone else do it for me. The i30N has changed me already after owning it for 2 days haha.
I don't have an outside tap so I won't be able to use a pressure washer to clean the car.
Basically I would like some recommendations on products you guys use to clean your cars.
Thanks in advance
