SORTED!!! I was SOOOO happy that i bought the karcher foam lance and the autoglym pressure washer shampoo. my car was absolutly filthy covered in tree sap. i wanted to do it last week but i had a trapped nerve in my back  :cry: but im all up and running now. anyway i rinsed the car and then got the snow foam gong EVERYONE was thinking whats that all about?? I left it for about 5-7mins while i got rinsed of my mates mk4 TDI, then i rinsed mine off and all the tree sap was gone :shocked: i was realy :shocked: so i then did the two bucket method (1st time) using cold water and meguiars car shampoo (purple one), and gave it a good old wash. Rinse off and then dried with the meguiars water magnet towel. i didnt even have to work so hard (like i normaly have to). I then used autoglym bumper care (good stuff to get your grey bumpers black) after that I used autosol clean the stainless exhaust pipe (was BLACK!) after that i put on meguiars trye dressing. I was proper happy. Think i will be getting the Valet Pro PH Neutral Snow Foam from waxamomo, as the autoglym foam was thinish and you cant adjust it on the sprayer (if you know what i mean)

so been a VERY busy day did 3 cars in total, there was going to be a 4th but my mate said the meguiars tyre slick is enough :wink:

p.s whats AUTOBRITE like?

you'll probably get the same results from your lance with the valet pro snow foam... it won't be proper thick and lush snow foam unless you use tons of the stuff (thats why I suggested getting the proper foam lance from waxamomo - you can use their introductory discount code if you haven't used them before)...

well done on your efforts today... did you take any pics?

Does anyone know which lance fitting is right for a halfords power washer?
I've been a target for 'halfords spec' saxos for almost three years now!

its traffic road film? lol do you add that to the snow foam?

not quite.. its traffic film remover...

its a diluted degreaser substance that you apply via a pump sprayer over the lower panels of the vehicle, leave for a couple of minutes and pressure wash off.. breaks down dirt and fly squash

i wouldn't if I were you... its like killing one bird with two stones, you can use it in your foam bottle on its own though

for TFR pre spray (if you don't have a foam bottle) you need one of these

some of this

and plenty of water to wash it off with
