good luck with it, doesnt always work on wheels though, brake dust gets too ingrained, Iron X or similar left does on my non painted alloys.

I do use the jet wash to wash off but not held that close

Ja I think I'm going to try with this hose attachment thing.. I dont have a driveway and have to park on the street out the front of the house to wash the car, so the less crap I have to haul out of the shed and onto the sidewalk, the better!

If I can get away with the hose and no pressure washer, that works for me!

hopefully youll get enough pressure out of the hose, where we are the mains pressure is low so we need to use a pressure washer unit

For £8 for that attachment, I'm willing to try haha.

Which brand of snow foam do you use, Ronnie?

cant remember any names, bought from the chemical guys in the UK

dont go for any that claim they also smell nice, from past experience they smell better than they work

would suggest going to a detailing site and ask to see pic of car with the stuff on, some can be a bit insipid, needs one that foams up wellronniet2016-05-12 11:43:05

Thanks for all the comments. I'll give the foam a try. Have got decent mains pressure so will work with this. Just have nightmares of damaging paintwork with pressure washer...
