Title: Autobrite Magifoam
Post by: Matto on February 18, 2012, 11:17:59 am

I have recently got myself some of this along with the HD foam lance but have yet to try it out due to the weather. Just wanting a few pointers in how to use it correctly. How much Magifoam should I put in the bottle to do 1-2 cars? Once the Magifoam is in the bottle is it then topped up with warm water?

Thanks

125ml foam and 375ml warm water will do one car  :happy2:

I stick in about an inch of snowfoam and then add in hot water. A full bottle has enough for 2-3 cars depending on the mix/flow rate etc.

Cheers for the replies. Hoping to have a good sometime tomorrow if it stays fine. Got mine and the girlfriends to do.

I have a smaller bottle on my foam lance (one of the early 500ml lances) and used about an inch of Magifoam then filled the bottle with warm water. With the lance set to almost full on the dial (the car was super dirty) it used the whole bottle on the car (Leon) but gave a really thick foam which dwelled for a good 20 minutes while i cleaned the wheels and filled the buckets etc.

Very good product too... better than other foams i have tried.
