Yep that's me as well

Im sure after reading the instructions it says it needs to be wet , I Have always wetted mine before ssf application , Like you say most of the snow is on the drive time you got round the whole car & needs spraying again No wonder i get through so much stuff

hi,

sorry for the delay. yes have the car wet. the more wax you have on the car the shorter the "cling time" that's a good sign though btw. it means that you have plenty of protection on your paint

also what setting have you got the end of the lance on? best to have more on a fan than a jet although not as much fun for covering passers by

what about if i organise a little detailing demo day once the lances have turned up?

need to get those payments in guys

Hi Guys,

A few of the ESC have been asking where I got my foam lance from so I have managed to sort out a group buy with AutoBrite for their heavy duty foam lance complete with 1 litre foam tank and a sample of Super Snow Foam. We need 10 takers to get it running.

Cost is £51 delivered. I am just sorting out with Autobrite if they want to do one big payment or if you contact them and sort yourself.

Add to list e.g 1.mneame - Karcher

1. Spec'C'57 - will confirm later...
2. TISSY - Karcher (Plus an additional 2 x 1ltr bottles of Super Snow Foam) (paid)
3. Mark_B4 - Karcher
4. leerichosti - Karcher (plus a litre of super snow formula)
5. iSCOOB - Karcher (paid)
6. Anderooo - Karcher (paid)
7. DemonDave - Karcher
8. bushiwarrior (Plus an additional 1 x 5ltr bottle of Super Snow Foam)
9. NotoriousREV - Karcher - (plus 2 x 1ltr bottle of Super Snow Foam)
10. V1CK1 - Karcher, got to check with the boss about ordering extra foam
11.kilo 4 que - (Plus an additional 1 x 5ltr bottle of Super Snow Foam) (paid)
12. bec010801 -(Plus an additional 1 x 5ltr bottle of Super Snow Foam) (paid)

and look at the quality of finish that he's got for spending all that time on it. detailing takes time. it could be worse, he could be detailing everyone elses car and not having the time to spend on his own or yours.
