Thanks for all the advice so far, I have an ultra fast black GTI   :laugh:

Im getting the concensus that the brush might have to go, and a nice wool wash mit will be replacing it, along with a second bucket and a grit guard.

Will probably keep the AG shampoo (I have about 3-4 bottles) and maybe use AG pre-wax and wax to keep it in the family.

What I am intrigued about is using some snow-foam, does this stuff rot through tar and all the other sticky bits and pieces, to help get the car ready for claying, along with a good wash with a suitable mit of course  :happy2:  And do I need a pressure washer to use a snow lance or are there other methods that dont involve shelling out for a pressure washer?

These are some pictures after my last clean and wax with the old method....

For snow foaming you do need a PW to use.  I did use below which hooks up to the hose pipe.

To be honest it was not much kop.

There is also this which I have not used before so not sure how good it is

Tar will not be pulled off from snow foam - tarding or claying is required for this.  Although i'm sure one of the pro's like Jay may correct me.

Car looks mint - very fast and shiny  :happy2:
