Why not in the wash bucket John? works well and seems lubricated enough to me, fairly new to the detailing game so prepared to be corrected by a pro:thumbsup:
I don't find it lubricated enough to avoid marring and it lacks a little 'something' as a shampoo - probably becuase it's designed as a pre-wash foam, not a shampoo, it's just outwith its intended design. If you're using it in the bucket and getting on fine with it it's not exactly the worst thing going, just make sure you're getting enough lubrication to lift dirt from the surface safely.

Costs per litre: I did a wee comparison between Meguairs' Hyper Wash and AN Other Snow Foam:
AN Other snow foam: light soil dilution ratio: 25:1 water/product (or 15:1 heavy soil)
5litres at £14.99 plus £15.94 shipping = £30.93.
At light soil dilution, 5 litres equals 125 litres of solution.
Meguiar's Hyper Wash: standard dilution is 400:1 (water/product).
3.78litres at £29.99 plus £8.95 standard next day shipping = £38.94.
3.78litres @ 400:1 = 1,512 litres of solution
Cost per litre for Hyper Wash at 400:1 (assuming shipping at £8.95) = 0.025 pence per litre (yes, 0.025)
Cost per litre for AN Other Foam at 25:1 = 0.247 pence per litre so almost ten times the cost.....
