Expert Notes

Magifoam Custard is the vanilla custard scented version of Autobrite Direct Magifoam, a pre-wash that dates back to 2005, when it was one of the brand's flagship products. It is an ultra-high foam concentrate with cleaners, biodegradable surfactants and foaming agents, and it lays a thick custard yellow blanket that clings to the paint while it loosens road grime. Autobrite Direct lists it as wax and sealant safe, so it suits regular maintenance washes on protected cars. Use approx 100ml to 200ml in a foam lance bottle with 800ml of water, allow up to 5 to 10 minutes of dwell and pressure rinse before a two bucket wash with a car shampoo and a soft wash mitt. Avoid hot conditions and never let it dry.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Car paintwork
  • Van bodywork
  • Waxed paintwork
  • Sealant protected paintwork
  • Exterior glass
  • Lower panels and sills
  • Pre-wash stage of a wash

Caution: Avoid using Magifoam Custard in hot temperatures or on hot panels, and never let the foam dry on the paintwork before you rinse it off.

Aftercare

  1. Continue with a contact wash using a car shampoo and a clean wash mitt.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Magifoam Custard smell like?

It has a vanilla custard scent. Autobrite Direct describes it as the original Magifoam pre-wash remixed into a custard coloured, vanilla custard scented version.

What colour is the foam?

Magifoam Custard produces a thick blanket of custard yellow snow foam that clings to the paintwork while it dwells.

How much should I put in my snow foam lance?

Use approx 100ml to 200ml of Magifoam Custard in the foam lance bottle, then add 800ml of water. Adjust the lance knob to set the foam thickness.

How long should I leave it to dwell?

Allow it to dwell for up to 5 to 10 minutes, then pressure rinse until all the foam has gone. Do not let it dry on the paint, and avoid using it in hot temperatures.

Will it remove my wax or sealant?

No, Autobrite Direct lists Magifoam Custard as wax and sealant safe, so it can be used for maintenance washes on protected paintwork.

Which sizes are available?

Magifoam Custard is available in 1L and 5L bottles. The 5L bottle is supplied without a pump dispenser.

Do I still need to wash the car afterwards?

Yes, it is a pre-wash that loosens dirt before the contact wash. Follow it with a car shampoo and a clean wash mitt, ideally using the two bucket method.

You can order Autobrite Direct Magifoam Custard from The Drivers HQ with UK-wide delivery. Our walk-in store is in Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

HQ Suggests Tips & Insights

  1. Pre-rinse first so the foam works on road film, not loose grit.
  2. Wash in the shade and keep the foam off hot panels.
  3. Work the foam from the roof down for even coverage.
  4. Never let the foam dry before you rinse it off.
  5. Rinse badges, trim and panel gaps thoroughly after the dwell.
  6. Follow the pre-wash with a two bucket contact wash.
  7. The 5L bottle comes without a pump, so decant carefully.
  8. Order with UK-wide delivery from The Drivers HQ.

The Brand

Autobrite Direct

Autobrite Direct is a UK car detailing brand founded in 2005 that describes itself as built by detailers, for detailers. Magifoam snow foam, Crystal glass cleaner and Tyregloss date from its early years. In 2026 the brand was relaunched by Technical Brands UK & Ireland Limited, of County Antrim, which had been the official Autobrite Direct reseller in Ireland; the earlier company, Autobrite Direct Limited, no longer trades. The new operator says it has brought back key legacy formulas and that the products are manufactured in the UK.

At The Drivers HQ we stock Autobrite Direct online with UK delivery and in our Ilkeston shop. Popular choices include Magifoam, Purple Velvet shampoo and Project 64.

Autobrite wash, wheels and decontamination

Pre-wash and snow foam. Citrus Wash is a citrus oil pre-wash and all purpose cleaner for paint, plastic, vinyl and rubber, diluted 100:1 for light cleaning, 50:1 for a general pre-wash, 30:1 for heavy grime and 10:1 for degreasing. Stronger mixes can reduce wax or sealant, so Autobrite suggests 50:1 or weaker for maintenance washes. Magifoam is a stable, wax and sealant safe snow foam: 100 to 200ml in the lance, topped up with water, left to dwell but never to dry. Custard Magifoam is the vanilla custard scented version, and the thick mousse style Jelly Bean and Parma Violet Super Foams suit lighter summer dirt.

Shampoos. Purple Velvet is a pH neutral shampoo with a Juicy Fruit scent that dilutes up to 1500:1, a 10ml capful in 15 litres. Banana Gloss is pH neutral and kind to existing wax, and Ceramic Infused Shampoo adds a slick, hydrophobic layer, used at 400:1 in the bucket or straight onto the mitt. Wash with the Synthetic Wool Wash Mitt and a 20 litre Detailing Bucket in black or clear, each with a Gamma Seal lid and Dirt Guard; the Bucket Organiser fits most 20 litre buckets and holds bottles, mitts and brushes.

Wheels, tyres and decontamination. BriteGel is a lemon and lime scented, non-acidic wheel gel that clings to the wheel and tyre, and Very Cherry Non Acidic is a high foaming, acid free wheel cleaner for painted and clear coated wheels. Purple Rain is a ready to use gel fallout remover for wheels and bodywork that turns purple as it dissolves iron: do not dilute it, and keep it off damaged or unlacquered paint and alloys. Just The Tonic is a solvent tar and glue remover that also lifts sticker glue and, inside, ink, oil and chewing gum from carpets. Tyregloss is a cherry scented tyre dressing: a little for satin, more for high gloss.

Autobrite polishing, protection, glass and interior

Paint correction. The Correct It compounds are made for modern ceramic and scratch resistant clear coats as well as hard German paint: Restore is the heavy cut, rated to remove 1500 grit sanding marks, Enrich is a medium one step cut and finish, and Final Finish is the anti-hologram finishing polish. The 135mm pads are colour coded: orange for cutting and green for polishing, both German open cell foam, with the Hybrid Wool Ultracut and Correct It PRO microfibre pads for faster correction.

Protection and gloss. Prep-It removes polishing oils and residue before a coating, sealant or wax. Ultraslick is a polymer sealant for paint, glass, chrome and unpainted plastics in a 250ml atomiser bottle, and Carbanuba is a banana scented cream wax of carnauba, montan and microcrystalline waxes. Magiseal is a water based, SiO2 infused coating: 100ml with 400ml of water in a foam lance, or 25ml with 475ml in a trigger, rinsed straight off, for two to three months of protection. Project 64 is a pH neutral spray, wipe and buff gloss enhancer, Quickshine works as a quick detailer, waterless wash or clay lubricant, and Top Gloss is a wax drying aid. Apply them with the foam applicators, six to a pack, and polish bright metal with Metalworx.

Glass. Crystal has been in the range since 2005: a fast flash-off glass cleaner, safe on glass, mirrors and window tints. Clear View polishes away bug splatter, fallout and watermarks with no silicones or waxes, ready for Repel, a rain repellent that Autobrite says beads water off from around 30mph. Buff with The Enforcer, a 55 x 63cm, 300gsm glass towel.

Interior and kit. Fab is a high foaming upholstery cleaner and pre-spotter, Magic Carpet a low foaming fabric cleaner with odour neutralisers, and the Alcantara Cleaner is solvent free and water based for Alcantara and suede. Jaffa Clean degreases and protects engine bays and door shuts, and the Soft White Drill Brush (5in) scrubs carpets and mats. Carry it all in the Detailing Holdall or Detailing Kit Bag, or start with the boxed Essential Detailing Kit.
