Thanks guys. I have bought a new foamer bottle abs nozzle so will give it a try when she next needs a wash and will post pics if it works better.

I haven’t driven her for 2 days as been poorly. I have withdrawal systems on top now.

Too poorly to drive your Jag? It must be bad - hope you get well soon. ;)

Yep that's better. There is something deeply satisfying using a snow foam lance :-)

Definitely . What I am finding is that each time I get home after a drive I feel I need to clean her before she goes into the garage. I’m sure this may change over time.

]Hi there

I had a good look round for the snow formers and also had a chat with the company that did my ceramic coating.

In the end I went for the same autoglym product (polar blast) and I’ve got a karcher jet nozzle, both from Amazon.

After a bit of practice I now get decent results every time. I do a 40/60 mix of polar and water.

Hopefully photos will work on this.

Cheers

Looks like we getting use to snow foam, I would recommend bilt hamber snow foam, it works really well. Photos to follow when I next wash the cat.

Nope - it won't change over time! I've owned all sorts over the years and the F Type for some reason just makes me want to have it sparking ALL the time!

+1. There was a good review on effectiveness of snow foams and the Bilt Hamber product was the clear winner and removed 70-80% of the dirt, some of the others hardly made any difference.
