  • Talk me out of it!!!!!

    From new my car has been washed with a lambswool mitt, dried with a micrfibre towel and polished with Carnauba Wax but with this awful weather and my car getting filthy I am SO tempted to put it through a car wash and give up!

    Tried washing it on Sunday and nearly froze to death!

      You never seem to get enough time at these - or am I just old and slow? (Don't answer that Zack!)

        Agree with Zack, just go to a jet wash and use the lance, not the brush!

        Won't come up like a proper contact wash but it will be better than it was!

          I used to like using Morrison's (the supermarket) jet washes for the old car. You pay for the time you use as you go.. something like £1 for 2mins30secs.. The brush lance used to kick out a nice dense foam too when you selected the foam option. So I suppose you could 'snowfoam' your car with the brush lance without actually letting the brush touch the paintwork.. let the foam soak for a few mins.. then pop another quid in and rinse it off

          Not sure what the foam had in it though (i.e. if it would strip any wax)

          Edit:
          Also the foam would vary in colour & (very nice) scent every 30secs or so.. Cherry, Banana, Blueberry if I remember correctly
