who would like me to do a car wash vid?
Discussion
I've been thinking and thought it would be good to do a detailed video on how to properly wash your car since its coming up to that time where most girls who put them away and the men types that have been using them all year, will be washing them more often and i thought i would show you what to use and when.
This will be aimed at people who want a thorough wash, but also will be realistic in what people are most likely to do. I will explain what tools to use and what chemicals etc. I won't favour any one manufacturer and you are free to use what you like, but this is what i have found to work the best.
Thoughts?
One thing i won't show you is claying the car, as this will just lead to everyone making a mess of your cars.

There is already a good video of how to wash an Aston on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXkL-8RvdBA


We've had a car wash video posted recently mate.
You will have to go some to better it.
But PLEASE keep your clothes on for your version

You know my thoughts on the subject Thoughts?

A video would be a good and welcome idea.
One thing I've been meaning to ask:
I use a foam cannon and it creates lots of wonderful thick suds. However,, when it comes time to rinse the car, the same soap continues creating more and more suds on the ground below and around the car. It takes forever to dilute it enough to wash it down the driveway. This seems pretty wasteful of water. How do you guys deal with this?

I think it would be a great idea and volunteer my car too 
Maybe a series.. Quick wash, deep clean etc... (I recon I could get a summer of clean cars!)
My sisters bought me the 'official' Aston waterless cleaning kit... I think I might try it on the lawnmower rather the car as I'm not convinced

KF you do know you dilute with water first?
Yes, of course. The snow foam I use (Honeydew from Chemical Guys) recommends mixing 2 fl oz with enough water to completely fill the cannon's reservoir. Of course, it is best to fill with water first and then add the soap. Adding the soap first would cause it to foam up and make it difficult to fill the container.
