Default FAO Bufty's - Best place for Snow foam lance/foam etc?

Anyone got experience with the following products?

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washin.../prod_371.html

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washin.../prod_326.html



Are there better products i should consider?

I borrowed my mates for a shot and it's amazing. Anyone who hasn't tried snow foam should give it a go!

I got that lance Chopster! But use snowfoam with a drop of poorboys wash!

This was my first play with it, but I need to add a little more and use hot water in the bottle!

Aha hot water in the bottle is a great idea! I wondered if cold was enough or how i could improve with hot water!

Only 2 squirts in that bottle? Nice it'll last forever!

What do you adjust on the lance? Is there flow control and also soap mixture? WHat do you use it on

Nuts rs cleaner is the same i believe as bilberry which i bought. so what did you mix ratio wise?

Yeah the Hyper wash should last ages, tho I got mine at the end of JAN and its almost finished, I kept it at work and every cunt used it,was handy when i was bored at work.

The nozzel adjusts the spray pattern fan - jet.
The lil Nob adjusts the foam mine is set a fully open ie +.Just seems a bit watery and runs off easy if not fully open.

Wheel cleaner depends on how bad they are 1-5 mix is fine for daily/weekly stuff. Tried a 4-5 mix for the insides of the 3 door rims.
I'll let the pics tell the story.

Before- this is how they looked when i got the car.






After 10 mins cleaning.





Really is great stuff , cant go wrong bud.

I cant wait to try the wheel cleaner. X5 wheels are big and get V dirty from the pads due to weight of the car and being an auto i guess.

Not getting the bloody stuff until tomorrow though as somehow the order went through standard delivery
