Since having the car detailed by Swissvax I have been reluctant to take it to the local carwash for them to scratch it to bits. I generally have very little spare time so the thought of spending it washing my cars just doesnt turn me on! (I had not washed one in over 15 years!). I must have been feeling ill on Saturday as i got up and decided I would give the snowfoam a blast... Here is the evidence!

Before you ask.. I didnt take any pictures of the car afterwards.
This picture was actually taken by my wife. She said it was going to be used as evidence that I cared for the car more than for her! She moaned that in all of our days together I had never got up at sunrise and spent the morning pampering her! Ooops! wink

Stand her in the drive and snow foam her, not likely to achieve the result you want nono

But I'd love to see the photos!

I now snow foam mine only very briefly, the stuff seems to strip the wax off, which is OK if you're doing the wash before waxing, but otherwise, it's a real nuisance

Interesting.. i did ask before buying the autobrite Magifoam as i had the Swissvax crystal rock waxing done which was VERY expensive!! I hope it doesnt strip it off... I am going to double check now as you have me wondering

Its the first time i have washed a car in 15 years. It could even be longer?
I usually let others do it due to lack of time and the list of other jobs i usually have on the go!

I must admit it was a nice car to wash.. i also found little things that i would never have noticed otherwise.. It was definitely worth doing.
