I hate Meguiars to be honest.. When I still had my shop etc I had a representative of them over...and he literally said to me he couldn't offer me better stuff then I was already using. He was a great guy though and for hobbyists Meguiars maybe a 'thing', but not worth the money in my opninion. Another representative also came by, and actually I supported his brand to sell to my customers for normal maintanance. He was from Kenotek..There's a shampoo you should try out! Kenotek Brilliant Wash ;-) Also, not sure why, but their interior cleaner did wonders for my customers! ;-) They loved the smell, the results etc..check it out! Back when i still was doing this, Kenotek wasn't even known here in Europe and they had just 1 truck driving around overhere. Many carwashes etc use their products nowadays aswell.
@@mrlooneycooney8948 in the UK meguiars have a big issue with pricing. While they are in halfords they can perhaps still chanrge these prices but as time goes by I think they cant. 20 quid for a litre of pre wash. 16.99 for 750ml of wheel cleaner. 25 quid for a small wheel face brush... Its a shame because I like the products but I would just perhaps go with mirror glaze and their detailer pro line.
That comment the other day: "Click Like and watch the video... you know it's going to be good." So true. Love the amount of awesome quality content you put out.
ya, i cant even get my hands on this product in the USA, just ordered 5L mega bottle of BH Auto Foam which is hands down the best performing snow foam in terms of actually removing stuff.
I think snow foaming is pointless and I've stopped doing it now, plus the mess it leaves on the driveway can be a pain to get off, especially in the summer when it dries. But keep up the videos, I've learnt a lot from you from many videos now, very informative. Your house looks lovely by the way!
Personally I’ll be sticking to ‘Eight Below’ from ‘Wax Planet’ and the famous ‘BH AutoFoam’ 😎👍🏻 It doesn’t mean this is a bad product - but those 2 are incredible snowfoams and amazing value for money! Eight Below only needs 50ml for maintenance washes.
:) Business is or should be a two way mutual benefit.. A company provides a product that we need and want to use, we buy it and they make money.. However when one side of that relationship looks to get more value than the other, the net results often is the relationship suffers.
Bought a bottle on spec from Amazon pre-seeing this review. It was the best thick,clingy foam I’ve used - I use a lance like yours but have the hose lock auto-close valves (necessity but noted your other snow foam tips video re pressure washer and flow) and a k4 Karcher. I’ve tried various snow foams. Yep, expensive but impressive, especially useful for snow foam contact wash quickee. Also, my bottle of concentrate settled with great big snow ball like blobs in the container but a quick shake and it’s fine. I thought mine was knackered too before I even used it 😀 good video as always
try wax planet below 8 or Autobrite direct magifoam. This megs product foams great but its also very mild. to remove winter road film you need a bit more kick. thanks buddy
Can't believe the small bottle was that price! I'm lucky I work at halfords (for now), always price matching and adding my discount... stocking up while I'm there on all sorts😂
Nice vid as always Jon. "Blingy" sums it up for me. Seems the "polar" opposite to other snow foams/tfr's. BH Autofoam gives little foam, megga cleaning and at a great price. Why would you buy this?
I use this product on my Ford Ranger. I use 100ml in a snow foam cannon but I use warm water to aid it to become more soluble. Then snow foam my truck so it then looks like a block of polystyrene. Wait 5mins and then jet wash off and dry. It is expensive however compared to competitors. Id still recommend it though!
Hi John, I went and purchased some of the Meguiars Snow foam from Halfords, and as you've said it ain't cheap !!! as you have already mentioned ..should be wrapped in gold for that quantity LOL ...... but it does clean and seem to remove the dirt. I have used Polar blast and Bilt and Hamber, It is certainly the most Foamy of the 3. I would say Bilt & Hamber snow foam is the least foaming but the best out of the 3 at removing a majority of the grime, next I would say is Meguiars and then Autoglym. In terms of price and value for money, I would say by far the best of the 3 again has to be Bilt and Hamber. I do like the Meguiars as it does foam up the most and has a premium feel, but then it does have a premium price, would I buy again ??? No in terms of Value for money, No in terms of Cleaning capablity, but for the thick foam and blingness I might be persuaded. I do think Meguiars have a good product here and as already side the size is very misleading, aside from the issue the product is very nice to use, I suppose we need a product that has the thick Suds of Meguiars the cleaning capability of Bilt and Hamber and maybe the Smell or the Autoglym one and we maybe onto a winner. HTH ;-)
As Hal folds had 20% off a few days ago I couldn’t help myself but buy some. We have had so much rain since I’ve not needed to try it yet😂. Glad to hear it’s ok. Must remember to store in the warm over winter.
Bought some yesterday at Halfords costing £20 😩 Did a good job on my wives black suv. But will probably go back to Autoglym Polar Blast Snow Foam 2.5L for £17 which is also very good!
It's too expensive for me to even try, I'll stick to bilt hamber throughout winter and auto finesse avalanche through summer, I also feel with super thick snow foams, 90% of the product doesn't make contact with the car and even funnier snow foams have enough dwell time to work effectively
Almost every detailig product from abroad the ocean is a ripoff compared to UK products , the same thing can be said to UK products bought in europe or USA 😅😆
Andrea that's true yeah they're an American company but I don't know why their products need to be so expensive because they have a full Uk operation too so it's not like they're just straight sent from the US
Paul Dolden Details definitely yeah it's a good product but nowhere near worth it , I could get 5l of auto finesse avalanche or bilt hamber , it really is insane what meguiars are expecting people to pay
Probably better to wait until it hits Walmart. By then perhaps the price will be reasonable. Thanks also for the 3 month update on HCW. That's how long it lasted for me as well before I reapplied it. Some people claimed a month or similar which clearly they did something totally wrong with the application process. As always we appreciate all that you do! 👍
Jon on a totally separate issue. I did a review today on a recon shampoo. It looked like it worked really well but I couldn't in all honesty measure its performance so I said in the video that this was one for you to come up with a measure. I was really happy with the product but how can you say its good if you can't measure it. You are great at product reviews and I couldn't think of a better person to come up with a solution. !!!!!!!!!
its not easy mate.. I had this problem doing the shampoo shootout.. they all claim like thick luxourious suds and slickness and most deliver on this. The dirt simulator helps test them a bit, measuring PH etc.. using them, seeing if anything bad happens if they dry. but ultimately I thick just using them for a few months is really important. you cant always do that when your reviewing things.. so yer no easy answer..
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer ah right maybe lay down fresh protection... and tape up 50 50.. hit left side of bonnet with decon shampoo, little pass with brush and rinse.. then right side ph neutral one... and watch degredations of hydrophobic performance after each hit... just be carefull to make sure neutral soap doesnt mask.
@@ForensicDetailing See I knew you would have the answer😊👍Don't be surprised if you get people now asking the same question as I did say in my video that you would have the answer.
Hi Mate, love the channel, i have just bought the Meguiers snow form, pretty impressive. I use the auto glym snow form cannon. I just potter on my car, but have a load of nice products to keep it nice and clean...great content mate
Meguiars in the snap on of detailing no matter what you say about it or how good or rubbish it actually is, the only thing people care about is the price. Some meguiars stuff is bang on especially if Halfords have a sale on then the good bits are worth picking it up
totally agree, I like their liquid waxes a lot. Im just not not overly keen on this product. Its fun and foamy but I just need a bit more cut at a better price point.
Not used this and wont at this price. I also bought the ceramic wax and its such a gimmick. I have switched to turtle wax sealent and is a great product and sheets like mad and a third or the price to meguiars.
Hi mate, what was the product you used to spray on the Bilthambler foam?... I normally cant be bothered with a pressure washer, i prefer my hose with my trigger, as it allows me to spray rinse the mitt before i dunk in the bucket again. But i did like your video on the the BiltHamber snowfoam but was wondering which sprayer you recommended?
I thought the same, the price is a bit farfetched. I actually won a bottle of this on a meguires Instagram competition and when I received it thought it was maybe a large sample bottle or something. Turns out not! Yet to use it but I am doubtful, going on all the reviews I've watched/read, that I will be purchasing a bottle after.
Great video as always 👍 I've followed all your recommendations and last week ordered a huge box of stuff including a DAS6 Pro. It's rained ever since it all arrived! 🤦♂️
The price will be it's downfall, autoglym polar does a great job when you get used to washing your car with a snow foam. The majority of the cars i do just want the car nice and clean with a half decent shine.
Can't say I'm a major fan of Meguiars, just think they're average quality products for premium prices. Think the Auto Glym products are better quality and are also better priced in my opinion
I knew it wasn’t worth the money they want for this snow foam but as a noob to detailing products I had to look it up and find out for sure. Bloody £18 for this although I like the colour that doesn’t make it worth the money lol
Great video again, looks like a nice product but that price is crazy. I’m using the Magifoam now after watching the last product shootout you did on snow foams, I like the Autobrite products. Would love to see a review with some more of there products in them. Have you used the Project64 detail spray. That stuff is amazing 😎
Hi john I thought the polar blast was a much better cleaning product the meguiars was a little thicker but the autoglym was the better cleaner in my opinion another brilliant video best wishes,ian.
John, I've not tried as many snow foams as you, but dont you think bilt hamber autofoam is hard to beat? Performance wise and how cheap it is for the quantity you get?
Through a foam gun I disagree, to get the proper PIR ratio is need to use about a half filled bottle. However through a 5lt pump sprayer is it great value for money. I get 5 cars out of 5lt of made up product
Would love to see a line of product you think is idiot proof for a complet detailing, compound, polish and cleaning. A list of what You think is the best and easy-to-use for a total newbie.
As with a meguairs products aimed at the cool crowd lol idiots pay over the odds to be in with the cool gang lol since watching this channel have learned a lot and bh foam is awsome better than all others i used and great price spot on video 👍🏻😎👌🏻
Just picked up the 1.89L (2 Qt) bottle from Halfrauds for £22, given that should deliver about 20 washes, thats not TOO bad really. Smells nice too :-D Still has waxy floaters though, I'll properly warm the bottle to see if the dissolve.
Fun video man. You should have a look at the H10Q 10m anti-twist hose for your Karcher, I just picked one up and it's lovely, granted I had to chop up some bits to make the connectors fit with the hose wheel...the top end K7's come with that hose as standard now.
In the next shootout I be interested to see ones that are readily available such as Powermaxed Blizzard, Poorboy world slick and foam and turtle Wax hybrid snow foam
I have a snow foam attachment on my K2 karcher was bought from Ebay. I found that the bottle on the lance becomes empty pretty fast is that normal…your snow foam attachment seems to go for ages lol I'm lucky to get around the car :)
19marshall80 On the lance there should be a knob you can twist to adjust how much snow foam it pulls from the bottle. You might have it set to take the maximum out of the bottle.
Great video. I always feel I should try some Megs products as they’re like the founders of car care but I’m usually put off by the price and dilution ratios. I used Dodo Apple ifoam for the first time today. It seemed to have an effect on 10 days worth of dirt without effecting the wax. I normally use BH autofoam but I’ve found it upsets my summer waxes.
When you snow foam the procedure should be, snow foam wait 5 minutes for it to soak into the grime on the car then rinse off and then hand wash, you went straight into the hand wash.
i wonder if that product might have frozen at one point from manufacturing to shipping to retail whs.... !! very odd texture....!! Thanx John...nice shine on the vw!
@@tomeastman6634 me too! What did it for me was Meguiars' Instagram page, they had the bottle sitting in a deep dish wheel with a before and after... Firstly, the bottle fit in the wheel, secondly, they used about a third of it to foam a car! That made me think no straight off!
Cracking review mate to expensive for me lol I think it’s not worth it’s money for the size of that bottle when you can get 5 L for cheaper and even 25 L
It appears to have the same consistency as AD magifoam but with better cleaning power. I’d like you to try infinity wax’s snow foam in your test as I’ve found it to be the best I’ve used.
Great video. Curious whether you guys on that side of the pond suffer from hard water as we do in California. Makes washing out in the sun almost impossible without distilled water or a water softener.
yes water is hard in the south coast of england, it is in most places. I also find though the key is just dont let the water dry.. if you get it before it dries your ok.. thats why I was ready to go turbo drying mode.. but yer its a big big problem water spotting.. its not even that hot here yet.
I had some lumps in my can of meguiar's snow foam, is it the low temperatures of the moment? Sorry I do not understand English well. Thank you in advance. Otherwise I found that it gave a beautiful brilliance, and very thick foam with my foam cannon PRO-KLEEN! But it is expensive for less than 1 liter! Otherwise the 5 liter snow foam canisters PRO-KLEEN are cheap and also work very well! I had for a little over 30euro the PRO-KLEEN foam cannon (identical to the adam's red version) and 5 liters of orange snow foam.
I had some, but I didnt put it in the last one, and went for bonnymens. simply because I wanted a cheap offering.. the chem chem offering in the cosmetic range could really benefit from a scent and I dont often say that (it smells bad).
Review the wax and away snowfoam? Do you have to buy the snow foam launcher separate to the pressure washer? Were can you get the lancher from? Great review
hey steve yes most online reseller will sell a lance thats compatible with most pressure washers.. so like in2detailing, clean and shiny etc will sell the lances.. you have PA lances (expensive italian made) or cheap chinese .. pay 35 for good european lance 15 quid for chinese.. I also have the in2detailing dr dirt flask on mine so it does not tip over
Great video, good information regarding price point comparisons. One thing though, it appears you may have had one (or ten) too many cups of coffee prior to shooting the video. Have not ever seen you that revved up for a video. Perhaps you were just that excited. Cheers.
I used it last weekend Jon and mixed it 100ml of product to 500ml water and found it really watery. Wasn’t like yours at all. Don’t know if I have something wrong with my Snow Canon.
thats my K7.. my old karcher was just down on pressure a bit after many years of use.. I needed more pressure for patio and the K7 is a total beast its awesome.
Pre wash with a smaller ratio of ph neutral shampoo to water. Pressure wash then use a larger ratio of ph neutral shampoo to water. As you can guess I’m not a foamer! Waxes and sealants get my 💰 🏎 🧼
Just watched your video for a second time 🤣 no wounder my foam was thick but not as thick as you said iv been bloody mixing it at 100ml to 900ml water 🤣
Their Ultimate Fast Finish, also. I've been through 3 spray bottles of it, but the total cost is over £65!!! Though it is a great performing product, like most things Meguiars.
I go for anti corrosive and cleaning power, I love all your videos and humor but need to see it go up against the big guns Bilt Hamber and ABD Magifoam etc before I look into buying it.:)
building a line up for another video like that... problem is that video took 6 months of pre testing.. 2 days of filming, 20 hours of editing.. And a crappy 5 minutes can do 10 times more views... so its balance. I cant always do the big test videos but I will try to do now and then
I have watched 1 Meguires vid and it was the Ceramic Wax launch vid. They pissed about for 13 minutes being tools and spent 2 minutes giving useful info on the product. Never used their product and after watching that rubbish won't bother. I'll stick to Autoglym and Bowdens Own (Aussie brand).
In your upcoming snow foam comparison video, could you possibly add autosmart ultramousse into the list?? Curious to see how it compares as I use and like it BUT would jump onto another product if it offers better cleaning power for similar value. At only 35ml to 1L of warm water I find it very economical
@@ForensicDetailing I don't understand how wouldn't be accessable? Up my way I need to find a local rep n find where he is based that day and then go find them,usually about 15-20mins away. I wouldn't mind even sending you some if you would include it but if not fussed about adding into the test then fair enough, I jus think for the economy of the stuff it might have been worthwhile
@@krissysxi4808 you just said it mate.. 99% of people watching FDC cant be bothered to locate a local rep and contact them to get chemicals. they either want it in halfords or in one of the online venues.. you can order AS stuff on ebay but you need to be carefull doing so because you dont know who your buying and what your buying. also most peeps watching dont want 5 litres of a product.
i got a little review of it recorded the other day. Honestly its a pretty great machine.. theres 2 minor things that annoy me about it.. but overall really really impressed its everything I wanted it to be, and its better than I thought it would be..
For those asking the snow foam lance bottle I use with my snow foam lance is...

As we say in Australia, you get what you pay for it maybe expensive but a great product line and the only product I will use on my car
Not so sure about that personally. Megs yes but this product no
Great video again, looks like a nice product but that price is crazy. I’m using the Magifoam now after watching the last product shootout you did on snow foams, I like the Autobrite products. Would love to see a review with some more of there products in them. Have you used the Project64 detail spray. That stuff is amazing 😎
Hi john I thought the polar blast was a much better cleaning product the meguiars was a little thicker but the autoglym was the better cleaner in my opinion another brilliant video best wishes,ian.
John, I've not tried as many snow foams as you, but dont you think bilt hamber autofoam is hard to beat? Performance wise and how cheap it is for the quantity you get?
Through a foam gun I disagree, to get the proper PIR ratio is need to use about a half filled bottle. However through a 5lt pump sprayer is it great value for money. I get 5 cars out of 5lt of made up product
Dash Cam Das, that's a crazy amount of BH you're using. Properly worked out for 4% PIR my lance takes a tad under 50ml to 550ml.
Yet another meguiars fanboy product.. no thanks 👍🏼 I’ll stick to the proper stuff.. BH autofoam
Was late in starting to use BH Autofoam, can't see past it now. Not much else comes close to loosening dirt and grime.
What does the BH stand for, Butt Hurt Foam? 🤣
@@edmusick7794 I think you did that thing where you accuse others of your own crime in a really transparent way 🤣
Would love to see a line of product you think is idiot proof for a complet detailing, compound, polish and cleaning. A list of what You think is the best and easy-to-use for a total newbie.
If it's that unstable in the summer, can only imagine how bad it will be in the winter.
I can confirm that it’s really bad in the winter. I wish I had found this video before throwing away my money
As with a meguairs products aimed at the cool crowd lol idiots pay over the odds to be in with the cool gang lol since watching this channel have learned a lot and bh foam is awsome better than all others i used and great price spot on video 👍🏻😎👌🏻
Just picked up the 1.89L (2 Qt) bottle from Halfrauds for £22, given that should deliver about 20 washes, thats not TOO bad really.
Smells nice too :-D
Still has waxy floaters though, I'll properly warm the bottle to see if the dissolve.
Fun video man. You should have a look at the H10Q 10m anti-twist hose for your Karcher, I just picked one up and it's lovely, granted I had to chop up some bits to make the connectors fit with the hose wheel...the top end K7's come with that hose as standard now.
honestly the hose on my k7 is sooo much better than the K4. I have very little issues with coiling now (perhaps a little bit but not majot problem)
@@ForensicDetailing It's probably the one i'm talking about then!! It's thinner and softer.. no pun intended..
In the next shootout I be interested to see ones that are readily available such as Powermaxed Blizzard, Poorboy world slick and foam and turtle Wax hybrid snow foam
I have a snow foam attachment on my K2 karcher was bought from Ebay. I found that the bottle on the lance becomes empty pretty fast is that normal…your snow foam attachment seems to go for ages lol I'm lucky to get around the car :)
19marshall80 On the lance there should be a knob you can twist to adjust how much snow foam it pulls from the bottle. You might have it set to take the maximum out of the bottle.
Great video. I always feel I should try some Megs products as they’re like the founders of car care but I’m usually put off by the price and dilution ratios. I used Dodo Apple ifoam for the first time today. It seemed to have an effect on 10 days worth of dirt without effecting the wax. I normally use BH autofoam but I’ve found it upsets my summer waxes.
When you snow foam the procedure should be, snow foam wait 5 minutes for it to soak into the grime on the car then rinse off and then hand wash, you went straight into the hand wash.
i wonder if that product might have frozen at one point from manufacturing to shipping to retail whs.... !! very odd texture....!! Thanx John...nice shine on the vw!
I'm using the last of my Polar Blast, then onto Auto Foam. I'll he giving this a miss due to the price!
Barry Briscoe I agree I thought online it was 5 litre then I saw it say 968ml or whatever it is and nearly died
@@tomeastman6634 me too! What did it for me was Meguiars' Instagram page, they had the bottle sitting in a deep dish wheel with a before and after... Firstly, the bottle fit in the wheel, secondly, they used about a third of it to foam a car! That made me think no straight off!
Great review meguiars is expensive here in the netherlands we pay even more ...
Hi, nice video. Also, what are the spects of your foam cannon and pressure washer with this product?
Cracking review mate to expensive for me lol I think it’s not worth it’s money for the size of that bottle when you can get 5 L for cheaper and even 25 L
It appears to have the same consistency as AD magifoam but with better cleaning power. I’d like you to try infinity wax’s snow foam in your test as I’ve found it to be the best I’ve used.
Use snow foam on dry Surface
And Then rinse it with high pressure.
The water on the dirt wont let the foam do its work.
Cupra317hp wrong
Has he been drinking a new coffee recently? I love the video, but I don't like the shampoos price for the amount .
I hit the like button as soon as I heard the "plup plup" haha!
Would be great to see you try some ez car care products, I have quite a few and it would be great to hear your opinion on them 😀👍🏼
Great video. Curious whether you guys on that side of the pond suffer from hard water as we do in California. Makes washing out in the sun almost impossible without distilled water or a water softener.
yes water is hard in the south coast of england, it is in most places. I also find though the key is just dont let the water dry.. if you get it before it dries your ok.. thats why I was ready to go turbo drying mode.. but yer its a big big problem water spotting.. its not even that hot here yet.
Yet another great vid. What snow foam would you recommend?
I think Bilt hamber auto foam is probably the best one out there. £16 for 5 litres you can't go wrong plus it'll last forever
RNLIB730 autoglym polar blast
Love the videos thanks for uploading
Seems too expensive to compete in today's market. In contrast the new TW Ice Hybrid Snow Foam is killing it selling here for $6.99 USD.
I had some lumps in my can of meguiar's snow foam, is it the low temperatures of the moment? Sorry I do not understand English well. Thank you in advance. Otherwise I found that it gave a beautiful brilliance, and very thick foam with my foam cannon PRO-KLEEN! But it is expensive for less than 1 liter!
Otherwise the 5 liter snow foam canisters PRO-KLEEN are cheap and also work very well! I had for a little over 30euro the PRO-KLEEN foam cannon (identical to the adam's red version) and 5 liters of orange snow foam.
Jon, I just love your videos 👍👍👍. As for another snow foam comparism, can I ask that you include Car Chem???
I had some, but I didnt put it in the last one, and went for bonnymens. simply because I wanted a cheap offering.. the chem chem offering in the cosmetic range could really benefit from a scent and I dont often say that (it smells bad).
👍
Please try Poorboys, their spray and rinse alloy cleaner is brilliant however it is acidic. But the quality/time/effort is good for the price!
Hi Mate
How about trying Anglewax Fast Foam. I think its right up there with Bilt Hamber!
Costs a lot tho
Hey John, any chance of reviewing products from Carbon Collective any time soon? Particularly their 'Ultimus' snow foam? Cheers
James Gould defo would like to see this, Jon be a good one that
Thanks for this! 👍🙌
Have you tried P&S Brake Buster? Would be really interested in your thoughts on it and if it's worth it.
Review the wax and away snowfoam? Do you have to buy the snow foam launcher separate to the pressure washer? Were can you get the lancher from? Great review
hey steve yes most online reseller will sell a lance thats compatible with most pressure washers.. so like in2detailing, clean and shiny etc will sell the lances.. you have PA lances (expensive italian made) or cheap chinese .. pay 35 for good european lance 15 quid for chinese.. I also have the in2detailing dr dirt flask on mine so it does not tip over
Forensic Detailing Channel cheers for the reply
Great video, good information regarding price point comparisons. One thing though, it appears you may have had one (or ten) too many cups of coffee prior to shooting the video. Have not ever seen you that revved up for a video. Perhaps you were just that excited. Cheers.
giving up smoking... Im like theoden when gandalf sucks the sauruman spell out of him.
Can you please do a QD test ?
Like gyeon Q2m, BSD , berry blast etc ? not only for gloss but cleaning ability
i cant wait to see the next foam shootout
I used it last weekend Jon and mixed it 100ml of product to 500ml water and found it really watery. Wasn’t like yours at all. Don’t know if I have something wrong with my Snow Canon.
thats my K7.. my old karcher was just down on pressure a bit after many years of use.. I needed more pressure for patio and the K7 is a total beast its awesome.
Pre wash with a smaller ratio of ph neutral shampoo to water. Pressure wash then use a larger ratio of ph neutral shampoo to water. As you can guess I’m not a foamer! Waxes and sealants get my 💰 🏎 🧼
Just watched your video for a second time 🤣 no wounder my foam was thick but not as thick as you said iv been bloody mixing it at 100ml to 900ml water 🤣
Hi there from Australia, do you guys get Bowden’s Own over there? Would be good to include in your foam test
Can you make sure the winner of the last foam "competition" is reviewed in your upcoming one please?
Not enough product for the cost, very misleading for sure, shame because I am a fan of Meguiars.
Their Ultimate Fast Finish, also. I've been through 3 spray bottles of it, but the total cost is over £65!!! Though it is a great performing product, like most things Meguiars.
Wax planet 7 and 8 below. Only snow foam you will ever need.👌🏼👌🏼
car looks sharp jon. is that just the megs ceramic spray on there?
yer megs HCW does make the car look good for sure
Like most here, I would see that as way to expensive next to the AG Polar wash, or the BH Autowash or Surfex HD in a SF Lance
I go for anti corrosive and cleaning power, I love all your videos and humor but need to see it go up against the big guns Bilt Hamber and ABD Magifoam etc before I look into buying it.:)
building a line up for another video like that... problem is that video took 6 months of pre testing.. 2 days of filming, 20 hours of editing.. And a crappy 5 minutes can do 10 times more views... so its balance. I cant always do the big test videos but I will try to do now and then
I have watched 1 Meguires vid and it was the Ceramic Wax launch vid. They pissed about for 13 minutes being tools and spent 2 minutes giving useful info on the product. Never used their product and after watching that rubbish won't bother. I'll stick to Autoglym and Bowdens Own (Aussie brand).
In your upcoming snow foam comparison video, could you possibly add autosmart ultramousse into the list?? Curious to see how it compares as I use and like it BUT would jump onto another product if it offers better cleaning power for similar value. At only 35ml to 1L of warm water I find it very economical
problem is most of my viewers cant access it Kris. And its not always good buying it online or ebay.
@@ForensicDetailing I don't understand how wouldn't be accessable? Up my way I need to find a local rep n find where he is based that day and then go find them,usually about 15-20mins away. I wouldn't mind even sending you some if you would include it but if not fussed about adding into the test then fair enough, I jus think for the economy of the stuff it might have been worthwhile
@@krissysxi4808 you just said it mate.. 99% of people watching FDC cant be bothered to locate a local rep and contact them to get chemicals. they either want it in halfords or in one of the online venues.. you can order AS stuff on ebay but you need to be carefull doing so because you dont know who your buying and what your buying. also most peeps watching dont want 5 litres of a product.
How you finding the K7? Bet the longer and higher quality hose is a bonus.
i got a little review of it recorded the other day. Honestly its a pretty great machine.. theres 2 minor things that annoy me about it.. but overall really really impressed its everything I wanted it to be, and its better than I thought it would be..
I like autobrites magifoam seem to work well for me 👍
Autobrite never seems to get any love from these detailing channels. It's a shame coz it is one of the best snow foams for me
@@damienmctasney4679 i love the brand one of the best ive used.
Have you looked at Bouncer's It's all White? I've been using it for a while and I quite like it. A lot cheaper than the Megs
one to check out I think Jim
