Ooooh looking good! I’ve been using the autoglym stuff for around a year. It’s great and always on offer too! I always do all 3 stages. You’ve done a great job there.

Thanks, I made a school boy error with equipment though!  I bought the Karcher foam attachment when i got my pressure washer...It was absolute pants! Was only 20 quid so I'll use for patio work.  The Autoglym foam lance is amazing!  Proper quality metal and def worth the price tag.

As for the three stages, the seal says once a month and I'll probably do every 2 weeks and see how it goes.  The beading of water on the car comes right off once you get going, car almost dry after a little drive!

I only get time to do mine every three weeks/once a month nowadays so it’s probably spot on. In those 3 products the seal is the star. So much beading for so little effort. Just wouldn’t use it in warm weather as it can dry then you’re in trouble.  :shocked:

Yeah lol, not sure what I'll do in summer.  That day was about 2c and neighbours think I'm nuts  :grin:

I love it when they think I’m crackers! I tend to use Sonax products in summer. Again, easy to use which is what I want. Keep up the good work sir!

Without turning this into a detailing thread, could someone please concisely explain to a non-detailer what these 3 steps are?

I have a Karcher jetwash and lance and a tub of Autoglym pressure wash. I don't really use it as the car looks barely any cleaner when it's finished than it was before I started  :embarrassed:

Foam, wash and seal. All applied through the foam Lance. I’ve just got 3 bottles and attach the one I need. It works incredibly well.
