Tried out a few new detailing products. Managed to wash the car in less than 30 minutes from start to finish and only used 7l of water. Very impressed with the results too.

That's 'the big red sponge' by Optimum. https://www.motorgeek.co.uk/cgi-bin/ecom.cgi?Command=ShowProduct&db_pid=1267

I was a little wary about using a sponge but it worked great.
Here's a video of the technique used - https://youtu.be/Pwki2c21pBw

i'll take a look  :smiley:  But most closed cell sponge products are to be used with great caution!

Gave my Clubsport a snow foam and wash. Not the best job I’ve ever done but after washing my dads and wife’s I was done in.

Looks good! If you select Hotlinks for forums instead of thumbnails we won't need a magnified glass to see the pics  :grin:
