Having tried what feels like nearly all of them at work I think Built Hamber Autofaom is the best value at £15 odd and Valet Pro Advanced PH Nuetral the best for cleaning ablility at £25 odd

Bilt hamber auto foam! End thread.

It cleans really really good, last winter I pressure rinsed the tail gate then auto foamed one half, left to dwell then rinsed again. I knew it cleaned really good but when you can see the two halves side by side you really see how great it is. Pretty cheap when compare to others as well.

Agree, both of these are great.
Others to consider would be CarChem and Obsession Wax Blizzard. Both excellent, and the dilution rate of the Blizzard make it really cheap.

Yup I second this the Autofoam is by far the best overall in my opinion.
I find its cleaning second to none but the VP one is also very good.

Magifoam is fine for a long-term dwell but it clogs up snow foam lances pretty quickly.

Lots of you guys using Autofoam Bilt Hamber, I use it with a pressure washer and autobrite lance but don't find it that good, as in it doesn't seem very thick and comes off quickly. Haven't done a comparison though. My usual process is :
Cover in foam and then jet wash off usually leaving around 5 mins, I apply with the lance on maximum from the bottle and about 1:3, foam:water. Does this sound about right?

Old thread, but I've used Autofinesse Avalanche snowfoam today and saw some great results. Removed the dirt and road grit well

Another vote for Autofoam Bilt Hamber.  Great product and great value for money.   :happy2:

And another vote for Bilt Hamber, admittedly it's not as thick and doesn't give the 'foam' effect as much as some of the others but it cleans well. Has anyone tried the Auto Finesse one at all?

Didn't think much to 'snow foaming' in general, found better results with VP citrus pre wash

Thought snow foaming was a bit of a gimmick,
