And that's why I don't use magi foam.
TBH snowfoam is fun and looks cool. But I find myself rarely doing it because I cba with the hassle .

Try using it in a pump pressure sprayer!...............dead easy, quick, hardly any mess (on driveway or street), almost as good results, portable (no faff with heavy lance) and if you don't use it all then leave it in there for next time.

Works well for me!

Great advice as I was looking at buying a lance and now I will get a sprayer instead. 8)

Obviously it doesn't foam up as much (which is why you don't get the mess) but it still seems to clean pretty well if you use a decent snow foam. You can also use it for products like Powermaxed TFR as well, so quick and easy to switch.

IMO the best "snowfoam" is Bilt Hamber Auto-foam. It's not as thick foaming as magifoam, but cleans much better.
In this pic the left door is cleaned by Bilt Hamber Auto-foam and the other magifoam. Image

TBH although I snow foam out of principle and it is REALLY fun, I have never found it to shift that much.

Sometimes on wheels you see brake dust running off but that is extreme anyway.
