Default adding to snow foam

right, i made an order today for some new products yay go me.

At the moment there is minimal protection on the car, and alot of other shit to be honest.
now i have ordered Megs Hyperwash - to use as the foam (lance and nilfisk)
and Megs APC - for under the car / arches, carpet, bonnet lining ect.

i've read a few things elsewhere saying its ok to add the APC into the hyperwash(and other shampoo or other foams) to use all over the car, rinse then start the process as normal.

foam
wash
de-com
polish
seal

so what do you put in with your foam ?

First, go to tesco and buy some "daisy APC" from the cleaning aisle. The other day it was 99p per litre so a bargain. Then last time I was doing a full detail so removing everything beforehand, I put 2-3 inches of some old snow foam (Bilt hambers my favourite but a waste for what I was using it for) a few pumps of hyper wash and the rest topped up with APC. Only use that on a car your looking to strip back mind. Lots of foam and lots of cleaning power

I've used Tesco Daisy on pretty much every detail I've done tonts, sprayed on via just a normal sprayer, left to dwell, rinsed off then foamed with SF straight after. I used this the other week though, without foaming after, worked pretty well on it's own so skipped the foam stage completely.

i was merly pointing out the order just incase

magifoam is the only choice for me now. litterally when cleaning up the mess it's like sweeping snow; it doesn't just flow away.
