Tar Disolver applied to areas with a brush, spot treatmemt was not an option, it was like the car was wearing a spray-on layer of tar, was absolutely covered on the stuff :shock:

Another great job Steve, The inside wheel work was well worth the effort, and the foam.........really impressed with how much grime it removed without touching. I'm getting closer to buying that Nilfisk and lance every week.

TBH I would go with the AutoBrite offer on DW of the lance and magifoam. So as I much as I would like to offer this its probably not going to happen right now for me organising it.

I don't think I can get anywhere close to the deal that Autobrite is doing for the Lance and Magifoam, they must be buying in such bulk to be able to offer at at those proces and still make a margin.

I have only found 2 foams that offered that level of cleaning and I have tested about 10 now. Those are Autobrite Magifoam and Chemical Guys No Touch Snow Foam - they are level pegging for me but MF is on a Group Buy on Detailing World so wins purely on cost.

I have the chemical guys foam from a DW offer. It is very good. Did a completely touchless wash of the wifes S max yesterday. Pretty impressive. As Steve says, the magifoam is also excellent.
