Have a Hose, need Soap Suds!
« on: 17 April 2008, 13:11 »
Ok this is not probably the best place to ask this, apologies in advance!

I have seen people using an attachment that makes loads of soap suds when cleaning thier GTI on some forums. Any recommendations to which type, what liquid to use and where from? I have a mains water hose and a Hozelock snap fit end on it. Sounds a lot simpler than carrying buckets in and out of the kitchen getting the floor all muddy lol   :smug:

ps, imo you will still need a bucket though (2 in fact)

I always do the "2 bucket" thing making sure I have no grit in my lambswool mitts, I dont want any swirls or scratches. It does look like fun!

That looks a right fun tool!
My neighbours tend to copy what I do, my cars always gleaming and they come over to aks what I use etc. When I paint the house, clean the windows, mow the lawn, they always seem to do the same the next day...

The wife and I have a good laugh about it most bank holidays. I'll get one and see how long it takes before I'm asked to lend it out or give details where to get one lol! :smug:

182_blue do you use super snow foam or other?
Currently use Megs NXT wash in the bucket and would like to move to foamer as well
