Cheap Alternative To Maxi Suds...

[Brand86]

Currently using CG Maxi Suds as a pre-wash soak, but seem to be using far too much and not working out very cost effective.

Are there any alternative products I can buy in larger volume, Snowfoam is meant to be good I heard?

I just use Megs Shampoo Plus or Hyper Wash.

autobrite or autorae snwofoam is good, what are you using the foam in? if its a superspray u may aswell drink the foam and piss on the car!! lol , if its a lance then anything will do, snowfoam is dilutable aswell, snowfoam works best when it is spread well e.g gilmour/lance when i used it in the superspray it didnt really do anything apart from wet the paint and very lightly loosen stuff up,

 

[Brand86]

It is through the Super Spray, why you say that Riz it works really well...?

Can you buy the Hyper Wash in bulk Rich?

 

[Rich]

Yeap sold in the US Gallon size.

Safe will give it a little dabble.

Will it strip waxes off though? Ideally I would like to get two different pre-wash shampoos, one which is safe on waxes and one which is a little bit more aggressive.

 

[Rich]

Reason I use it is due to it being wax safe. Don't trust these snow foams ....

Snow foam is excellent stuff!

 

[Brand86]

Might get the Hyper Wash if it is wax safe and the Snowfoam as its not!

So, these and the Onyx, thats another ton down the drain lol. Hmm...

 

[Rich]

It's only money ......

Of which I have very little right now!!

On the plus side though I will have a very shiny car. Which I will be living in...

i thought superspray was ok until i used something else and realised that a lance/gilmour is ace

 

[Brand86]

Yeah obviously it doesn't have much power in it, as it is just a hose extension, but for spraying loads of foam over the car to get the worst of the dust and grime off before washing with a mitt I think its really good.

Ideally I would have a pressure washer with gilmour and a water filter but can't afford or justify buying all that at the moment really.

fcuking students get a hardship loan thats what i did and i got an Arcam cd player!!!

Haha... sadly I need the money for living, food, going out, petrol etc.

Most the girls go and spend it on clothes though and get their Daddies to send them more when they need it!

Plus as I said yesterday not sure where I can clean my car, there are loads of hand wash places on Kirkstall road so just going to ask them if I can use their pressure washes and then whizz home and do the rest there.

Just dreading some little wanker opening their door into mine
