This product is a TFR and degreaser. For those unfamiliar TFR stands for ‘Traffic Film Remover’; it’s a highly concentrate solution which helps with removing tough and difficult dirt and grime on your vehicle. You would generally use this with a pressure washer, or you could mix this at a dilution rate of 15:1 and spray this on your vehicle. This should be enough to make around 80 litres, and if using a spray bottle 1-2 litres should be enough per wash.
It creates a sort of snow foam which you leave for a few minutes (don’t allow to dry), then wash it off. It should remove a lot of the stubborn dirt and grime from your car, and then you would normally wash it after as usual.
The problem is a lot of people wash their car using the single bucket method. The issue here is when you pass the sponge or mitt over the dirt and grime, you loosen the particles and then pass it over your vehicle which can often cause scratches. A TFR should help with this problem by removing a lot of the dirt and grime before you do a normal wash, reducing the chances of scratching your car. For £3.67 it’s a small investment which could help maintain the value of your car.
This is the link to the manufacturers own product page which briefly explains it and lists their price at £11.52 including VAT but excluding £6.95 delivery: http://www.espumadirect.co.uk/traffic-film-remover-vehicle-cleaning-detergent-tfr-vehicle-wash-detergent-car-wash-/espuma-tfr-traffic-film-remover-vehicle-detergent-car-wash
This product is also available on Amazon for the same price but is an add-on item which requires a minimum £20 spend: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Espuma-0115-05-Fleet-Clean-Degreaser/dp/B0058GW112/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

Cannot find any reviews which makes it hard to compare to other TFRs. Taken a punt but cannot see it matching my normal Citrus TFR. Maybe also making a point that TFR is quite abrasive over time and will strip wax layers on repeated use. A re-application of protection is advised on a regular basis.

No ph rating.. This could be worrying

There are a few reviews on Amazon, and it's probably safe to say it's in a different league to the high end brands. I use the Autoglym trade bottles and if diluted correctly it should not strip any wax, which should be the same for any TFR. If you use something stronger like the Tar and Adhesive Remover it will strip any wax protection.

Espuma do sell Glass Cleaners and they are very good I've got the crystal green and blue
Been using them since 2008 and all that I've tried has been very good.
Activo Hi-Foam TFR is very good and so is the Revolution acid free wheel cleaner. One stand out product is the RD50 tyre shine which is long lasting and very economical given the relatively high price

TFR can do terrible things if left on paint for too long! Be careful
