Finishing work early yesterday I took the opportunity to give the P&J a well deserved pamper and to try out my new foam lance.
Before:
First thing was to rinse using Karcher jet washer.
Then using my new Autobrite Snow Foam Lance http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lance-Karch...151&sr=8-1&keywords=autobrite+snow+foam+lance
I used the snow foam that was included with the lance. The instructions said to add 1-2 inches to the lance bottle so I filled until it reached the label (approx. 1.5 inches). This was about half of the snow foam! I then filled the lance bottle to the top with warm water.
On the lance I turned the mixing filter as far as I could to the "-" and then gave it a quarter turn towards the "+".
The foam came out great and the car was soon covered top to bottom. I still have half a bottle left in the lance too.
15 minutes later there was still plenty of foam on the car.
After rinsing of the foam with the Karcher, I then washed by hand using two buckets and a wash mit.
I used a drying towel to finish off and the results look good.
I'm still not very happy with the drying process as there were still a few swirls left behind, possibly because my towel was too damp towards the end so I will try using multiple towels next time.
There wasn't enough time for me to polish after drying and this would have got rid of the remaining swirls. Next time.....
