Ok Chaps as the cars off to the garage tomorrow thought I would give it a non touch wash with MagiFoam and some Mcphersonstrut's Hyper Wash. had to wait a bit as it was a bit frosty, but by 10.00am all had gone


The first photo's not to good, but both doors where covered in mud splat and general road grime





Left rear is Hyper Wash, Righ Front is MagiFoam, followed manufactures instructions for mixing. Both where applied with a Autobrite Foam Lance



After five minutes you can see a difference in the foams,with magifoam still cling well



around ten minutes in and things aren't looking good for the Hyper Wash



Getting up to twenty minutes now and it looks Hyper wash has had it



Power washed off after 25 minutes




Again not the best of photos, and its not clear on the photo, but the MagiFoam takes this one, there is still some evidence of road film on parts of the rear door,while the front one shows nothing.

Now i know this is not the most scientific of tests, and is quite subjective to my own experience, but i think on the whole the photos don't lie, especially the 3 showing the foam dwelling time

so for me its Thumbs Up for Hyper Wash and Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up for MagiFoam

Unless anyone knows different and will also be trying Chemical Guys No Touch Snow Foam once the MagiFoam supplies run dry


Thanks to Mr Strut for the Hyper Wash Sample

Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated Mr. Green

Interesting experiment Toeknee . I’m no environmentalist but I do wonder where the Magifoam finishes up what damage it could cause Confused

Info from from Autorbrite states it contains biodegradable surfactants, i'm no environmentalist either, but if it cuts down on the amount of water used, that has to be a good thing. However you do have a point and i don't have the answers.

Looking at the pictures it seems to stick like you know what to a blanket. Seems to do the job though it brings up the COLOUR black very well Whistle

I wonder how many of these backyard enviromentalists have an interceptor tank for their washing machines.

I would love to snow foam a few of those people Laughing
