As promised - finally!
Car was minging having driven about 50 miles of B roads in snow to Gatwick and back.


Magifoam applied. Used more this time and the consistency was definitely thicker.


Waited 5 minutes then rinsed just with the standard lance, nothing else:


Then washed it. Amazing how easy this makes washing the car

Cheers, certainly requires a lot less elbow grease, although for me it's a PITA getting the pressure washer out as it requires running 2 extension leads for power out my back door - my garage isn't joined to my house unfortunately

Luckily I have a nice neighbour who sometimes lets me steal their electric from their house which is nextdoor

Lol that's kind of them

Mines not too bad to do as I live in a detached house so it just goes through the garage.

Even so I'd be willing to do a lot more as It makes the washing so much quicker. And you're not rubbing the ingrained dirt into your paintwork

TBH APC are shocking. As for the missing bits, I contacted Autobrite using the number on the first post and dealt direct, they were spot-on and sorted my damaged bits quickly

That sucks. I had my order from the 12 days of Christmas sale turn up in 3 days.

Try dropping Mark Moss or Autobrite themselves a line on their Facebook page. They keep that very well updated

I got a lance from Autobrite a couple of years ago; nothing wrong with the lance, but the bottle broke at the neck after 2 uses, and Autobrite wanted a couple of quid or more for a bottle that was worth about 10p. I use a water bottle now, which they could have suggested when I phoned, so I was`nt particularly impressed.

Guess any plastic bottle could break. Mine's certainly been ok so far.

I'm sure if anybody broke their bottle I could get Mark to sort out a new one at a good price
