Too me this seems a more pricey lazy way of cleaning haha?!? I'm gona stick too the hand washing + a jet wash me thinks, maybe when the new job comes about I may dip in the pocket and try this foam method  :cool:

Its a crucial stage in the washing process.....

Jet washing will not remove half as much of the crud as the foam lance will.  And if you use one of those horrible garage jet washes all you'll be doing is stripping the paintwork of any wax you might have applied  :sad:

Microfibres are fine to buff off with but you should be applying it with an applicator pad really :smiley:
