Modding is an addictive hobby once you start I don't think you'll ever stop whether it be seeking performance, visual personalisation or both!!! Just my opinion on it :)

Sorry about the bad picture quality, truth is I crouched down to take a snap then-wobbled-then fell over Haha! Naghbours must being thinking im a nut case rolling around on my drive way! :lol:
 
well the sun was out today so put my new snow foam lance to good use,thought i would take some before and after pics to share aswell....

Before





as you can see it was pretty dirty,

During





After









i really could not belive the results!!! looks like iv been polishing my ass off all day but the truth is it took my 20mins to wash and dry the car!! this snow foam is deffo the way forward for me! a fraction of the time and a fraction of the elbow grease!
in case anyone is wondering what foam i used it was a bottle of cheap stuff called "demon shine" that i picked up from halfords for £10!!!
 
Which lance did you get? As if u have a karcher then try auto finesse avalanche out. I love that stuff :p
 
I'm not sure the demonshine foam comes under the definition of cheap :p

I've got a 25 litre drum in the back garden of autosmart foam, and that probably cost 1/3 per litre. I can't remember what it cost me now, but it's very good and very cheap. I just don't own a pressure washer anymore.
 
Yeah I bought the karcher attachment, the only thing is I wish the bottle was bigger but im going to look into buying a bigger one. I had to fill up twice to do the car, il have a look at that auto finesse foam next time I come to buy some,
 
A proper HD foam lance (plenty about) will mix air with the product used, to produce thicker foam. The advantage being longer dwelling time, for supposedly better results.

I'm still dubious as to the results, as my own trial and error showed that it had no significant benefit over a thorough rinse prior to washing in the first place. If at all.

It is good fun though!
 
I just gave it a proper good rise before hand and then dried with a microfiber cloth. I did polish it about 3weeks ago so that might of contributed to the finnish.
 
hahaha, even over the internet people can sense my tone!

nah, looks good but cant help but think those wheels are the wrong offset? maybe space them out to get rid of the camber?


or save up and get some a bit wider that your tyre will fit on? idk might just be my shit eyes.
 
the rear wheels look like they have a lot of negative camber? like the ofset of the wheels is wrong, might just be toeing in because its lowered though? you get me?
 
Its just cause of how far in from the arch they are, and the curve of the rear bumper! It gave mine the opposite effect when i pushed them outt
 
ah right I see, yes the back wheels do look like there further in than the fronts but il get some spacers for the back in time, so it should make it look better
 
sweet man, only metioning it because ive got some old wheels on atm and theyre slightly different offset, banged a set of 8mm spacers both sides and its ballanced them out perfectly :)
