Title: Finally cleaned today! Few Pics
Post by: DarkGti on 23 February 2010, 17:43
After all the snow and rain we'd been having it was a nice day so finally managed to use my new snow foam lance from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HD-FOAM-LANCE-5L-CHERRY-SNOW-FOAM_W0QQitemZ390161263543QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item5ad76c6bb7and all i can say is wow what a difference in cleaning it made so easy the dirt just fell off
few pics of the outcome!

richw911 I didn't use anything this time, just cherry snow foam that came with the lance but normally use mpenza polishes and R222 Carnauba Wax(lasts ages)
cheers for the comments guys

Cheers mate, are they heavy? Also are they a matt finish or satin, look very matt in some pictures?

Whats the finish like etc, and is the lip polished or silver or anodized?

Sorry mate, first person i've seen with them so had to ask, have been close to buying a few times but seller never sends any other photo's so put me off  :sad:

Car looks awesome mate, Just the inspiration i needed for my recently purchased 5dr AGU.

Do you mind if i ask,Are your wheels staggered 8 Fronts and 9 Rears? You tyres look more stretched on the rear. Also are you running 225/40/18?

Im looking for a set of BBS CH's myself, there are some on Egay for 575 with tyres in silver.

Top Work anyways.
Title: Re: Finally cleaned today! Few Pics
Post by: DarkGti on 24 February 2010, 21:09
the wheels were off ebay for £450 without tyres and they are all 8J but i could of had 9 at the back, the tyres are 215/40/18 i didn't want much stretch lol :wink:

cheers  :wink:
