This is the pre-wash stage





With a well prepped car this will remove the majority of the dirt and grime before you attack it with your mitts

Out of interest roughly how many washes will you get with a 5L bottle of foam?

quite alot Dom, you only put 1 to 2" which is around 100/150ml of solution in the bottle and top the rest up with warm water and you will proberly only use half that mixture on one wash.

One final question from me (as it saves another thread) when using Dodo Juice Lime Prime is it worth using a Glaze afterwards? If so can anyone recommend one? :smiley:

you dont have to as a rule because lime prime is quite high in glazing oils anyway but i tend to use britemax blackmax glaze after and it always wows me even though i know how its going to perform.
