When I worked at Bentley, I must have done 5 or 6 wedding for friends. One of them actually bought me a chauffeurs hat - I refused to wear it!

Just received delivery of an autobrite snow foam gun (good value from detailedclean.co.uk - delivered to Ireland for £41.68, much less than autobrite theselves who wanted £15 postage!!!) so we'll try it out this weekend. Looks like a quality piece of equipment. The Karcher one that I bought is going on ebay...

Wow, what difference the Autobrite lance makes!

Tried a 30% dilution as a start and after a few adjustments to the lance, out it came, thick and gloopy. Happy Days!

Happy days indeed Mr Happy Days, a decent lance makes a world of difference. You could have bought locally thought, Sureclean Systems in Omagh sell on eBay for about £25 and their lances are excellent quality.

Not much of a surprise though. Had to ask him what pressure washer he had first!

Hmmm. Is it just me? My lambswool wash mitt is in trouble. All the wool is falling out, anyone else see this? Here's the story. When using (at weekends mostly) it never seemed to dry out and was all slimy inside. A few weeks ago, I turned it inside out and left it in the shed as normal hoping to reduce the slippery-ness.

I haven't used it for a few weeks as the weather here has been good and a snow foam wash and rinse was enough to get both cars spotless. However when I turned the mitt outside in again, it was still wet, but the hair started coming out in clumps. It now has a huge bald patch about the same as mine. We look rather similar now :lol: :lol: :lol:
