Wow, seriously James, does it even come out when it rains? Or do you measure the acidity of the rain to see if it's Ph is suitable? :P

Must admit i was looking at those buckets last night but at the moment, i cant justify completely.
I use the 2 bucket method and waste alot of product by constantly checking the colour of the water, if it gets dark i just refil.
+ the snow foam + rinse takes most suface crap off, unless the cars hardcored lol

Will do dude, had one before but i dropped it on the floor, it was covered in shite so decided to put it in washing machine and ruined it lol!

That is just excessive tbh!
There must be a point of no return on an expenential scale where you end up spending 10x more to see a negligable improvement???

Will do Wayne, ive used;

That was ok, stinks like fish though.. but i didn't use it with a proper snow foam lance so the foam never stuck to the car just ran off so i ended up using double the amount lol!
Id like to try Citrus next.

I find the snow foam works better when more diluted tbh
Jamie

I think thats because when you dilute it reacts with the water, give the bottle a little shake and go.
As you can see worked shite with the Superspray hose end lol!

After speaking to the guys at Polished bliss im going to be trying megs hyper wash with a small amount of snow foam.......they say it has far better cleaning power and produces a good thick foam.

I wanted the hyper wash but as far as im aware you have to buy the 5L at nearly £30, i think im going to try some Dodo juice shampoo next unsure how good they are though, id imagine the car will be left looking glossy but not much removal of dirt lol.. maybe more a shampoo to use after first wash and rinse?
I use the foam bottle and hose
Ah i see same as what i do for now:)
