New Snow Foam Lance :evil grin:
With the new lance for the Karcher arriving today and collecting the GTI side skirts for the car, I felt the need to give her a wash. The lance wasn't badly priced and works brilliantly in my opinion! I used Demon Foam for mine. Heres the link to the lance incase anyones looking for one. It should fit on any of the Karcher K series.

And after!
Having foamed the car and left it for about 5-10 mins to soak I hosed off the foam, which had done the worst for me, I then went over with Turtle Wax 'Wash and Wax' which gives a nice finish in my opinion!
The side skirts I will leave till later today, I did give them a go, however I had to dash for a night shift...which I finished at 4:30am so I am writing this just before sleeping...which is most wanted!

Just a little thing before you fit the side skirts, you need to make sure there isn't any polish/wax on the section of paint that you'll be bonding them too. I think the easiest way is to just give the lower section of the car a quick wash with warm water and fairy liquid which will strip off both wax and polish as well as any grease etc that might effect how well they stick.

GTI Side Skirts
Really easy to fit, held on mainly by a screw at the front, which also holds on the arch lining and one underneath. If in doubt just lay the skirt next to the car to narrow down your search. They are also held on by adhesive tape. I have found the tape to be fairly unreliable, so I have used tiger-seal to bond it on.

After...
Much better! Dead chuffed with these! :evilgrin:
