Ive used meguairs Hyperwash which is good.. Also used Chemical Guys Maxisuds 2, and Mr Pink. All very good but you pay for the name.

Hyperwash does foam up very well for little product in the lance though.

At present - Im using a Neutral PH snow foam from cleanmycar website - there own brand - about £10 less than two names above, but you need more of it.

This stuff is great if used with a decent pressure washer and lance. I have had no issues for 2 years.

Im using Valet Pro PH Neutral snow foam, 1 bottle has lasted me well over a year,.. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washin.../prod_500.html,
2 or 3 pumps and 1 cap full of megs NXT car wash mixed in the bottom with the rest hot water.. and it foams very nicely, lance turned down by 3/4 of a turn from fully rich, it also won't strip any wax or sealants off.

If you want it really foamy then run the hot tap into your pressure washer im assuming your using a decent lance.

The lance is key in my humble opinion.

My Nilfisk pressure washer came with a useless bloody thing, but I assumed it was the foam. Soon figured that out to be wrong! Bought a pukka job from Autobrite (I think) and it made a world of difference.

What Banstead Stig said..

I had a plastic Karcher one, it was ****e.. bought a decent one and it was a world of difference. I think someone found a decent one on ebay for cheap that was linked in another thread on here recently...
Again assuming your using a Karcher one :-
