Default A little Detailing vid I made

It's seems a bit long but edited down as much as I could which means a few steps are missing but you get the idea lol.

Hope you like.

Nice one Mate. From your vid I see you don't top up your snowfaom with water before applying. Do you notice any difference doing it this way? Bob

It just so happens I tried it again today with the bottle topped up and it did make a difference. The solution foams up a lot more when it's pre-mixed with water in the bottle.

Rich you meathead Looking all buff.

Seriously though, very impressive vid. Something I've not really seen on detailing forums. All the wordfs in the world can't replicate someone actually carrying out the various stages.

Hoping to get a good day whilst off on the Bank Holidays to really clean the old Merc.
Tawk to me about the foam lance please... hopefully getting a Nilfisk pressure washer from Argoous and would like to have a bash at smow foaming... http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...uctInformation

Any need to get another lance or would the one included do the trick you think? Got a nice big order of Polished Bliss stuff waiting to be used

My snow foam lance is not the one included in the Nilfisk kit, its a specifically made lance for snow foam application

This is the one you want, the Kew/Alto attachment is the one that fits Nilfisk pressure washers.

And I use the Super Snow foam, I have the 5ltr bottle of it. I went for the Super Snow Foam over the Citrus or Wax foam as it needs to be diluted a lot more, meaning a stronger formula and lasting longer.

Cool Vid,Going to have a go at doing my own car once my order from PB comes during the week.Got some swirl marks to try and remove.

Need a new Pressure washer because my one isn't in good shape(leaking) and was thinking about one of these

Magifoam is a fantastic product. I rate it over Bilt Hamber and the Elite foam I've used previously.
C.O.B. If you fancy a trip to York to see mine in action bring some choons and you can foam to your hearts content....Bob
