There you have it , all in all only took me 20 min and saved me £4 at my local auto wash.

The results are also miles better using the Valet Pro snow foam and is safe on your paint work. This is buy far the best thing i have got for my car  :wink:

Thanks for looking

Dean

good stuff mate that ive got a lance just like that from cyc and its just great to use the foam is super thick and you can just see it pulling the crap of the paint work and works a treat on the arches i just find my self foaming the car about 3 times am like a big kid it works with any shampoo as well so you can put the wash wax type shampoo in  to add a bit more lube as you wash

its not cheap £65 with the snow foam but you only need 1cm of snow foam in the bottom of  lance bottel toped up with water that 5lrs is gonner last a life time tho and you can go crazy with the lance you could foam 3 cars before its empty and you can pick witch conecter you need so it suites  your jet wash

looks good!

only thing i'd say is either lose the GTI badges (as it's a GT TDI) or match them up (lose the red I)

Sorry to change the subject a little but does the Snow Foam have to be connected to a pressure washer or can it be used on a normal hose.  :rolleyes:

pressure washer or you can buy a Gilmore foam master which connects straight to your normal hose but the results aren't as good

Ive never used to snow foam stuff, but tbh I only ever used a pressure washer and normal AutoGlym shampoo with some car polish and she comes out looking just as good as any snow foam pics Ive seen :undecided:
