I'm very ignorant of this kind of washing equipment. What else is needed to do the job?
VW Golf Edition 30, Candy White, 3dr Manual. Plus a stunning Aston Martin V12 Vantage!

just a pressure washer.

So pressure washer connects to Foam lance and bottle of foam and water - spray over the car and leave to dwell for 20-30 minutes.

In this time the foam should pull the dirty off the car. Then rinse.

Sometimes a quick wash with soapy water and a wash mitt (not sponge) though once clean and kept up regularly then the foam spray should be all that's needed.

:scared: Please don't leave it on for so long. It'll dry and ruin the paintwork. Leave for 5 mins (maybe 10) - the snowfoam should not dry out.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Foam lances are best used as a pre wash as the foam will not remove all the dirt. As Stealth said upto 10mins is more than enough dwell, good in winter times as I never use mine in the summer. Can you get spares for the AB lance?
