I washed my car with bucket and sponge with autobright then maguires liquid wax. Now it seems to be attracting these tiny little fine dots but its not dust as its not gritty. The whole car is coverd lol. Never had that before all the times ive washed and polished car and was thinking if its because i rinsed the autobright off with the hose pipe. Used the snow foam last month and didnt do it but first time useing it as a bucket and sponge wash

As Mike says turn the dial all the way to - then back a fraction. Looks like a weak mixture. I only use 1 inch of Magifoam and get much thicker foam than above. If using Superfoam then the mix is always less thick and runs off a lot quicker

Pollen Mike. My car was covered too, just snowfoamed if then rinsed off and It's back to being as clean as it was when I washed it last Sunday.

Loads in the air at the moment

I have a Karcher washer and the seals on the actual pistons are pissing water past them. Can you recommend a place to buy a replacement pump (cheap) or can you recommend a new pressure washer that will keep on working after 2 years (that's the most I've ever had out of a washer, quite pissed off with the Karcher TBH.

Just fond the part I need, it's ~£40, screw that, I'd rather buy new.

Any recommendations?

Had Karchers for years up untill a few weeks ago, the problem with Karcher is they are made from plastic, and as you say the parts are silly price,
Nilfisk are much better machines and Argos do a good price

The C110 10off at the mo £55
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/7420315.htm

Or the C120 - £100

Won't be a problem mate. Mark and the crew of Autobrite will be on the case. If you mentioned the Scoobynet groupbuy everything should be sweet. If not might be worth giving them a bell in the morning just to make sure everything went through ok

I put the Scoobynet group buy and which deal (deal 4) in the title block of PayPal. Is there also a wheel cleaner deal on? I didn't know, if there is I would have bought that too as I'm almost out of muckoff (which is good, but not great)

Cheers Bodski

Deal 4 for me is the best value. Magifoam has a much thicker foam and dwells a lot longer. Superfoam is also very good but the run off is a lot quicker, ideal if you're looking for a quick spritz but for soaking into bonded on dirt it's Magifoam all day long

Bodski.

Have now ran out of the Magifoam and need to order some more.

Would you recommend going for that particular one again as I did a quick search and there are loads of snow foams available?

Any help much appreciated
