Full Description

One of Autobrites most popular products that can be dated back to 2005 when Autobrite Direct first started; Magifoam is still top dog.

Containing a special blend of active cleaners, biodegradable surfactants and foaming agents, when used as directed Magifoam is LSP safe and won't harm your existing wax or sealant protection. Magifoam creates a stable and long-dwelling active foam to break down surface dirt and loosen it before contact washing. Pre-washing is an essential step in the detailing process. Removing the majority of dirt before the contact wash stage reduces the chance of inflicting fine swirl marks and will reduce marring. Sit back and let Magifoam do the hard work!

Expert Notes

Magifoam is the Autobrite Direct pre-wash snow foam that dates back to 2005, when the company first started, and it is still a core part of the range. It blends active cleaners, biodegradable surfactants and foaming agents into a stable, long-dwelling foam that breaks down surface dirt before the contact wash, and Autobrite Direct states it is LSP safe when used as directed. The concentrate is strongly alkaline, pH 13 to 14 on the safety data sheet, so handle it with gloves and eye protection. Mix 100ml to 200ml in a snow foam lance, dwell for approx 5 to 10 minutes, rinse and follow with a car shampoo and wash mitt. It suits regular maintenance washes on waxed or sealed cars.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Car paintwork
  • Van bodywork
  • Waxed paintwork
  • Sealant protected paintwork
  • Exterior glass
  • Lower panels and sills
  • Regular maintenance washes

Caution: The concentrate is strongly alkaline and corrosive, so wear gloves and eye protection when mixing, and keep the foam off hot surfaces and ceramic brake discs.

How To Use

Application

  1. Wear gloves and eye protection, then pour 100ml to 200ml of Magifoam into your snow foam lance bottle.
  2. Top the bottle up with cold water to the level you need and shake well.
  3. Pre-rinse the vehicle to remove loose dirt and debris.
  4. Adjust the lance dial to the foam thickness you want.
  5. Apply an even coat from the top of the vehicle down, avoiding ceramic brake discs.
  6. Allow the foam to dwell for approx 5 to 10 minutes without letting it dry.
  7. Rinse the vehicle thoroughly with clean water.

Aftercare

  1. Carry on with your normal shampoo and contact wash, as Magifoam is a pre-wash only.
  2. Rinse any spilled concentrate off skin or surfaces straight away with plenty of water.
  3. Check panel gaps and trim for leftover foam and rinse again if needed.
  4. Flush the foam lance through with clean water after use.
  5. Store the bottle sealed, upright and out of reach of children.

Top Tip: Measure 100ml to 200ml into the lance bottle rather than pouring by eye, then adjust the lance dial for thicker foam.

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.
