Be surprised Robin. :)

I think it's this stuff I have and has lasted ages! (Maybe I need to wash cars more?)

The snowfoam will only run off the car if you have the wrong mix of water and foam.

I bought autobrite direct 5ltr over 1 year ago and still going strong.

Only downer is it stinks of fish!

I found the lance is more important than the foam brand. The standard Karcher bottle sucks. The autobrite foam lance is brilliant.

Yeah, assuming you are using a proper lance (i.e. one that cost ~£50, not the crappy ones that come with your pressure washer) then messing about with the mixture dial should give a thicker foam which will cling better.

I have tried a few different foams and always go back to Elite car cares own brand.

BMW 335d Touring F31- Fastest car on the road
MINI Cooper 1.5- More fun than the BMW

I think I've washed Robin's Lotuses more often than he has :-)

Snowfoam-free-zone here though.

Bucket, hose and elbow grease only. If I ever get the time...
