For ten quid, Halfords have just started selling these, although with mixed reviews. Perhaps a more simple solution?

Mixed reviews indeed. It sounds like it does about as good as job as the supplied Nilfisk bottle (ie rubbish!)

Be ok for a one off to try but its cheaper to buy the proper gear. Its about £60 for a 5l of magifoam (which I recon will do 20-30 car washes) and a professional lance that will last a lot longer. The Halfords thing that will do maybe 3 or 4 washes for £10 - break even point is about 25 washes which for me is a lot less than a year given I clean 3 cars. Plus the real McCoy is the erm.. real McCoy.

Used it-rubbish, so have just had delivered from Autobrite their Snow Foam Direct Lance and Magifoam. I haven't used it yet but my geek side came out when researching Detailing World and seemed to do a proper job on the car. Will keep you posted as I plan to use it at the weekend (if it doesnt rain!)

I also ended up getting the Autobrite one (via the Detailingworld deal). I'm still getting the hang of it...



...but it's going ok so far:
