I'm not surprised hyper wash is pretty thick when neat, it's got a dilution ratio of 400:1!
I use about 1 inch of Autobite Supa Snow Foam in a 1L bottle filled with warm water and then cold water through a very old karcher pressure washer and that works a treat.
Also I use the foam every time I wash the car.

finally got round to taking some pics, this is megs hyper wash and it is really good imho. Must admit my maths was ****ed up to start with as i worked out that the 400:1 in a 1000ml bottle is 2.5ml! tried that and thought this is ****, okay it foamed but not what i was expecting. Then of course i realised that the water using a pressure washer was a little more than 1000ml lol so did another bottle mix with 100ml megs to 900ml water and got this result:
still not 100% sure it does anything other than add another step but its great fun, and at the very least my neighbour has a clean spot on his door now lol

as above mate its £30 delivered from PB, reason i went the extra and bought the Megs? its a brand i use a lot and have been really chuffed with their products and with a 400:1 mix ratio i dont think you can beat any other product in terms of value as it will last bloody ages due to the ratio compared to other brands imho

Thought I would stick a couple of photo's up of mine. It got it's first ever snowfoaming today. I went to Juicy Detailing (www.juicydetailing.co.uk) after being tipped off that they were fantastic price wise and for customer service. I went up there to take a look for myself and managed to talk myself into a free snowfoaming lesson (never done it before) so I definitely can't fault them on customer service! To make it even better they give discounts on all their products if you become a member of their website

Yes, lesson, not everyone is the expert that you are
Exactly
Basically, I bought 5L of Juicy's own brand foam and a Karcher Lance attachment - they do them in a deal for £49.99. If you spend £50 you get a free pack of towels so they chucked them in too. Told me 1-2 inches in the bottle, fill with warm water, screw onto lance, shake well to mix. No real technique for the car itself other than start at the top and work down
The bottle on the lance was enough to do the wagon and then their Navara and Vectra, which means that I will probably have to start foaming the wifes car when I do mine to make sure I use it all

im using magifoam from AutoBrite. And apart from smelling like bananas, it is the nuts. Dilluted 4:1 upto 1 lite it hangs about for around 15 minuites and strips of all the krud like nothing ive ever seen before
During the foaming
And jetted off, no wash and left to dry naturally after final going over with an open hose
I would give Autobrite a huge thumbs up for everything they produce.
