Default Snow Foam Types...which to use??

I have been looking around at snow foam for a while and dont know which one to use. At autobrite they have 3 varients, original, citrus and extra wax. Other people suggest meg's hyperwash.

I want something that will shift dirt and grime well but not make me have to wax it all the time. Any ideas ??

Without a shadow of a doubt, Meguiars Hyper Wash - we've tested them all, and Hyper Wash remains the best in our opinion, offering good cleaning power and no stripping of wax/sealant protection.

Rich,
Did you test all with cold water though as we don't all have a super cool jet wash that can do 60degree water coming out, no matter how much i try to convince the old man one will fit in the garage

you can use warm tap water mixed in the bottle. I find it makes no difference really though.

Have been using the cheap stuff from CYC and it was quite good, just ordered some valetpro ph neutral as we've pretty much run out of cheaper stuff.

It's definately better after even 1 use. foam is better quality and seems to stick better/rinse cleaner and quicker i always mix with cold tap water in my snow lance bottle. smells a bit soapy but thats nothing to complain about.

Yes, we test all of our products in domestic setups as well, and when I'm at home I have to use my cold water Karcher K-Series, and Hyper Wash is still my favourite in these situations. As regards a deal, we have been running a HD Foam Lance Group Buy on the MLR for a while - 1 x HD Foam Lance, 1 x Hyper Wash and 1 x Dispenser Pump for £70.00 delivered to any mainland UK address. Would you guys be interested if we ran a similar group buy deal on here?
