Washing the Beast!!
« on: June 10, 2012, 05:17:34 pm »
Never done this before with my own hands  :signLOL: so decided to give it a try!!!
My weapon of choice!!!

Now trying to work out how the hell to use the bloody thing  :confused:

What I'll be using for the snow foam and wash!!

Quite impressed with the thick foam I got on my 1st attempt  :jumpmove:






Bit concerned, what do I do with all the snow foam left - I could have foamed about 6 cars with the remainder  :surprised: can I keep this till next time  :party:

Now for some after shots - not too bad actually  :drinking:





Too lazy now to start inside, maybe when it decides to warm up, as the rain has just started - any advice on bringing the alcantara to life??   :drool:



All in all a good experience, even though it started to drizzle straight after I finished - at least I worked out how to use the Karcher  :signLOL:

Very nice and shiny. I've experimented with the settings on the lance and found the best for me leaves behind  half a bottle, which I use the following week.

Alternatively, don't make as much next time.  :signLOL:

Half a bottle  :surprised:  Did you snowfoam half the cars in your street  :signLOL:
Next time I'll prep a half bottle.  How long can you keep the mixture before having to chuck away??

Are we talking about the same thing  :signLOL:
I was talking about the snow foam usage not the Alcantara cleaning  :laugh:
Autosmart 101 for the Alcantara then - what do you use to apply it?  :happy2:
