Cracking job - and videos! Jet wash porn! Interesting to see how the pre wash goes on and it's consistency, my snowfoam is more like bubblebath on the car. I'm not bothering now but will once I do finally get a jet wash... :whistle:

+1 for the cracking job Rebecca. Is pump no.7 for regular VIP customers who have a car that's partial to frequent fill-ups from the high octane nozzle? :grin:

Watts, add a decent snow foam lance to your list of up-coming purchases if you want to get a good thick application of snow foam. I have an Autobrite one, which I rate highly.

Autobrite, okay thanks, that's on the list. Just been looking at jet washers trying to find a bargain, just to ease the pain a little :wink:

Thanks Watts, Simon and SRGTD.  :smiley:

Watts, follow SRGTD's very good advice and get yourself a proper snowfoam lance to complement your impending pressure washer purchase  :wink:  Appying snow foam (and citrus pre wash) is on another level with a decent lance.  The Autobrite one is great, as is the CYC one. Both are made by Italian company PA and have very robust bottles, just different shapes. 

I have one of each.  The black one is the CYC one and the red to AB one. Apart from price (AB one is on offer), and bottle shape, the only difference between the two, is the CYC lance blades are horizontal so you spray up/down, and the AB blades are vertical so spray back/forth.

Haha, yes, it's an R only pump.  And it sure does like to suckle from the 99RON teat.  :laugh:

Get it out for just these two items, then you can put it away again for another hundred years. :laugh:

In all seriousness, you will find these two things will transform car cleaning. 

Go on, you know you're worth it....well your car is).  :kiss:

Watts, I'd recommend that you get your pressure washer first; Nilfisk and Karcher each have their own unique style of connectors for attachments to their pressure washers, so when you order your snow foam lance, you'll need to know if you want one with a Nilfisk or Karcher connector.
