Title: Auto finesse avalanche vs autobrite magifoam
Post by: nads1_uk on March 17, 2013, 09:20:09 am
As above I was looking at getting some magifoam but it was out of stock. Whilst looking through the foam section I came across af avalanche. How does it compare to magifoam?

Won't be as thick as magifoam. I think it's one of these everlasting debates - on detailing world anyway! I personally use Avalanche because it isn't as thick a foam and therefore doesn't dwell as long, but have heard and seen good thinks about magifoam. Comes down to personal preference really as both products seems to be very effective.

Ive got about 5 litres of magifoam to use!

I've used it a couple of times so far, and it does go on very thick (if you want it to) but does a good job of leaving wax and LSP's alone

Whilst working (detailing) away in Belgium this weekend I met about 100-120 car/detailing enthusiasts and spoke at length about snowfoam and how/which brands work well. Over there try throw down sooooo much more salt and grit that we get here. Ther cars get grubby very very fast. They all agree the cleaning power of avalanche vs others including magifoam is night and day. They all love avalanche and can't get it quick enough. I'll agree it is a little less foamy than others but the amount it foams up isn't anything to do with how effectively it cleans.

Spotted the magic you guys worked on that Beemer - lovely!! Avalanche is great - definitely worth having in your arsenal.

Fair play, that was 1 dirty motor... great results, esp. considering you didn't even 'properly' wash it!!
