Title: Wash Process's
Post by: hammyhammer on April 23, 2009, 09:39:20 am

Good  Morning,

Had my first session with Snow foam last week and what fun it was  :jumpmove:

I'm interested in what wash prcoess you use as I:

1)  Snow foamed the car when dry
2)  While foam was dwelling brushed tyres clean
3)  PW off the snow foam
4)  Cleaned each Monza II wheel (PB protected on outside) in unison using hose pipe and lambswall mitt for front and microfibre for inside (about 30 mins in total)
5)  Hosed down all the car as it had dried
6)  2 bucket cleaned the car
7)  Sheeted off the water using hose pipe gun on tap setting
8)  Patt dried using miricle dryer

Total time was about an 90 mins as I had to clean and dry car in sections.  Was wondering if anyone uses a different process or has a quicker way of cleaning which will help me avoid the water marks this time of the year

Try waxing it and sealing the wheels will make it easier to clean the next time around.

Morning Hammy,

It sounds to us like you're getting it all in the right order... this is the process we use  :happy2:  The only difference is we clean the wheels before we snow foam the car and we use slightly different products, but generally, the order in which you're doing everything is fine  :smiley:

As Edition30 says, if you apply a coat of wax / sealant to both the car and the wheels it will offer protection for the paint work, which will make washing much easier
