Heard all sorts of good reports/threads about how good it is for cleaning motors and less chance of swirl marks on paint (RSty is all fresh paint with none and want to keep it that way)

Will this work with lavor hot pressure washers as they have a seperate tank for detergent, would it go in neat and let the pressure washer mix it for you or is it best to water down first??

think they last so well is cos everyone who has a white one wishes it was black so it hardly ever gets driven,just hidden away in a lock-up like a pet gimp...

either that or they dont think a white ones worth restoring

Black is the best colour when its detailed, but its a cu*t for showing every little blemish,swirls/marring show up ten times worse than any other colour.

I spent about 3 days on my van when i got,its fucked now as i dont always have the time to wash it properly,another 3 days to sort it again

Wish i got a silver van

Lamps are great,need them on a taller stand idealy,i tryed to use them friday when doing a detailing article for classic ford mag,ended up using the halogens.

If you want something decent putting on the 3 door we could do a trade swop,im after a outside plug double socket and some strip lights fitting in garage as old owner took the cunts out

It wont leave your car spotless by just foaming and rinsing it off,it works better if you have clayed and put a decent wax or sealant on your car.

It helps remove a little bit more grime than just pre rinsing alone, before washing.

Dont expect miracles!

Well from what matt is saying I don't expect anything less than miracles, I expect it to get rid of those deep scratches on the panels and pull the dents out.
