Cheers I'll have a look at that.

I've been looking at http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog ... -cat2.html which I think is good value for money. Anyone else use it?

I currently use valet pro ph neutral. When it runs out I will be trying some carbon collective satsuma foam which is meant to be pretty good.

Brilliant - thanks all. I was considering the Auto finese Avalanche also so may pull the trigger on that.

Polished Bliss highly recommend it and also the Gyeon foam, but that's a bit more money.

Tried the Valet Pro Advanced PH neutral foam and felt it was average, now on the Bilt Hamber Autofoam which I'm happy with.

I use Carbon Collective Satsuma snow foam, it's very good stuff and comes out super thick, tbh all of the carbon collective products are brilliant, definitely worth checking them out.

I've got some foam that I use on every vehicle, haven't really started sales of it but could be tempted if a group buy was needed, i would say about a tenner a litre maybe a bit less if the numbers are right.

How does it differ to your R1NE Russ? I've just finished my bottle of that off today. I'd forgotten I still had some left.

:shock: £10 per litre... and that satsuma stuff £8.95 for only 500ml :shock: :shock:

You can get 5L of Bilt Hambers Autofoam from Opie Oil for £15.60 and it's certainly no snake oil.

This ^^

Not sure I'd justify 300% (or 600%!) price increase just for marketing hype.

Its not as good at cleaning in the dilution as R1NE was but it is very good and shifts enough to notice, simply put R1NE was from Shell and was expensive to import the raw ingredient, which made it so expensive, the new stuff I use in different ways just as R1NE i just use a little more and let it dwell for a bit longer.
