looking good Robin :happy2:
problem is with this cleaning/detailing gig is it becomes addictive, you start by gettin 2 buckets and a mit, before you know it you've got some posh shampoo, snow foam lance etc etc etc

This is a to true statment I started in that exact same way and now having to clear space myself to fit it all in

....I've had a lambswool mitt, posh shampoo, various special towels and speed detailers for at least 3 years and I haven't gone further. This clay and Zaino thing I've just done is only something I'll do a couple of times a year for protective reasons.
What's a snow foam lance? :wink:

A snow foam lance is one of these puppies

You attach it to your hose or pressure cleaner, fill the bottle up with "Snow Foam" or similar. The water picks up the snow foam and makes it like a thick blanket of suds. The suds slide off carrying all the dirt/grit with them. I use the Gilmour Foamaster 2 and Meguiars Hyperwash, it does a great job :happy2:

Thanks, Stuart! I was joking when I asked what a snow foam lance is.
The nearest I can get my car to the house for washing is at least 60ft by running a hose from my utility room through the garden - The resulting pressure is just right for flat spray handwashing but not for a lance I imagine.
I'm not seriously wanting to start going that far with detailing. However, I will apply a 3rd coat of Zaino if the weather stays fine today - For protection rather than polish.
:happy2:

JPC, I was aware you were on DW, I've been on there for over 3 years myself bud :happy2:
Ok so we dont agree on Z8, but how do you feel about Z-CS? I spent all last night and today polishing the mother - in - laws ford Puma, eventually layered 2 coats of ZXF'd Z2, left to cure a couple of hours then topped it off with Z-CS. It was as smooth as silk and looked absolutely fantastic, I was really pleased with it. I didn't use any Z8 on it on purpose, wanting to see how long this type of protection lasts. (It says up to 9 months on the bottle).
Apologies for going a bit off thread Red Leader, but I was thinking about suggesting this to you for your next step in the slippery slope that is detailing :laugh:
