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.

  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.

The Brand

Autobrite Direct

Autobrite Direct is a car detailing brand that describes itself as built by detailers, for detailers. It was originally founded in 2005 and, in its own words, grew from a small UK operation into a recognised name within the global detailing community. In 2026 the brand entered a new chapter, now operated by Technical Brands UK & Ireland Limited, and key legacy products and formulations have been brought back. Its range covers wheel and tyre care, interior and exterior cleaning, decontamination, and finishing polish, wax and protection, and the brand states that its products are formulated and manufactured in the UK.

The Drivers HQ stocks Autobrite Direct across the wash, correction and protection stages. For washing there are snow foams, Citrus Wash Multi Purpose Cleaner as a pre-wash, and shampoos including Banana Gloss Concentrated Shampoo and Ceramic Infused Shampoo, backed by wheel cleaners, detailing buckets with a lid and dirt guard, and the Detailing Kit Bag. Paint correction is covered by the Correct It range, from Restore Cutting Compound to Enrich Correct Polish, with cutting and microfibre polishing pads. Paint sealants, quick detailers, Ceramic Shield Magiseal and Carbanuba wax protect the finish, while Crystal Glass Cleaner and Clear View Glass Polish look after the glass.

Autobrite Direct suits enthusiasts putting together their first proper wash kit as well as detailers who want products that work together from start to finish. A typical routine starts with snow foam and a pre-wash to loosen dirt before any contact, followed by a careful hand wash using a bucket fitted with a dirt guard. Where the paint needs it, machine polishing with a compound and the right pad comes next, before a sealant, wax or ceramic spray protects the finish. Glass products and the Alcantara Cleaner then take care of the windows and the interior.

Glass Care, Wash and Paint Correction

Crystal Glass Cleaner has been part of the Autobrite Direct range since 2005 and, according to the brand, was one of the first products it developed. Its high flash-off formula is designed to be sprayed, wiped and buffed, and the brand describes it as safe for all glass, mirrors and window tints. For heavier contamination, Clear View Glass Polish removes bug splatter, grease, fallout and stubborn stains from glass, and contains no silicones or waxes.

On the wash side, Autobrite Direct describes Citrus Wash as a powerful yet gentle pre-wash and all-purpose cleaner infused with citrus oil, diluted to suit anything from light cleaning to degreasing. BriteGel is a sticky, non-acidic wheel cleaning gel that clings to the wheel and tyre with less run-off, and Ceramic Shield Magiseal is a water-based, SiO2 infused coating that can be applied through a foam lance or with a trigger sprayer.

For paint correction, the Correct It range pairs compounds and polishes with dedicated pads. The brand describes Enrich as a medium machine polishing compound that removes car wash scratches, swirl marks and light oxidation, and as a one-step cut and finish compound for most paint finishes. The Drivers HQ stocks it alongside Restore Cutting Compound, the Autobrite Cutting Pad and Correct It PRO microfibre polishing pads.
