The Joys of Snow Foam.

The weather was almost Spring Like today, took the opportunity to clean and polish my 718.

(That's what I'm talking about @Lordjohnny)

Just over three hours later....

The Fruits of my labour.

Lovely work Stuart. Very nice indeed. I would have loved to be out there with the car. I'll have to wait until Saturday and Miss Daisy it over to the meet.

Looks like Plastidip

Well done! Not sure I could spend 3 hours on the exterior of any car. It looks fantastic, congrats on your effort.

 

[Gtipirelli]

Very professional setup you have there, little stool on wheels, two buckets, karcher pressure washer and 3 hours to spare

Look forward to seeing it on Sunday. You have now set the bar quite high for the rest of us now ?

That's some serious dedication right there Stuart. Very impressed.

Did quite a bit of research into how to do the job properly from Professional advice.

You didn’t mention the Lambs Wool wash mitt, or my favourite Wheel Woolies & EZ brush’s. (Make cleaning the Wheels so easy)

It’s an expensive car and worth the time / effort to look after it.

I enjoy cleaning it, find it therapeutic !

No doubt it will get dirty again before Sunday, although there’s no rain forecast between now and then so might be lucky.

I use “Troll’s Breath” on the Wheels to shift the brake dust, before I use the “Plastidip ?”

Living in Sweden wonder if your familiar with that.

No I’m not making it up it’s a real product and works well !
( Its called “ Troll’s Breath” because it smells bad. )

People cannot begin to understand how it can take me 5 hours to "wash" my car.

Karcher K4. ( Has idiot setting on Nozzle for car, so I can’t go wrong)>

Pro-Kleen. “Snow Pro” Foam Cannon ( Can adjust it for more or less Foam )

Use about an inch of Pro-Kleen Snow Foam at the bottom of the bottle and then fill it up with warm water.

The Snow Foam clings to the car for a good 5 to 10 minutes before you rinse it off. It should take any dirt or dead bugs with it. Your then using the buckets and Lambs Wool Mitt to wash a pretty much clean vehicle so much less chance of scratches.

I’m not a professional at this, Hope the information helps others.

Thank you. Good to know.

Does it remove wax to?
I like to wash my car, or better to see Mrs Johan do it but tha waxing part i do myself and it is boooring!

 

[nineball]

i was pleasantly surprised to see what this thread was actually about. when i saw the title i thought it was another plastidip thread (not that there is anything wrong with that, and i have used it myself, just not on my cayman).

Don’t think it removes the wax, all Pro-Kleen’s Products are PH Neutral.

I usually polish my car after the wash.

Have been using Autoglym Super Resin Polish, but will soon swap to Meguires Ultimate Liquid Polish, as I keep getting white marks on the side vents when I use Autoglym if I’m not careful enough.

Not had the pleasure of visiting Sweden yet.

Met a few Troll’s ( Female variety) in my time though!>
