    Had my Lexus washed and snow foamed by a place near me and it only cost me £12 but afterwards the snowfoam left marking where the snowfoam sat and it wouldn't even polish out. Obviously he denied it being anything to do with him. Im no genius but im sure it had something to do with the sun on the day he done it but apparently he is the professional 🤪loving you're content and great for people like me to learn. Thanks matey 👍🏼

      You sure it wasn't the cheap shampoo or traffic film remover? Some (not all hand car washes) use cheap poor chemicals and you often see white staining. Thanks for watching and hopefully you can sort it 🙏

    Might be a statement of the obvious Dave but worth mentioning the dangers of using a pressure washer. A few hints and tips about angles and proximity and sensitive areas of the car might be a useful addition. Love the videos by the way, keep up the fantastic work, you’ve reinvigorated my interest in doing my own cars having noticed that however good the local hand washes are they never live it like you do your own !

      I wouldn't use it too strong. For your own car it will do if diluted as I worked at garages where they used g101 on exterior in the past. Not that I would personally do it myself. For average Joe cars it's alright but no I would rather use proper dedicated cleaners for exterior

      @@imprezaworks it all depends on your budget and use because if its for lower price cleans then it wont be for you. Yum for me is the best but then its bit like saying a ferrari is better than a fiat both will ultimately do their job but one is ahead if that makes sense lol. So some good alternatives would be infinity wax snow foam for sure. BH seems a bit watered down for my liking. But then its personal preference.

      Common misconception but even prewash products at the high-end of the alkaline scale will not have any serious impact on your LSP - Contact washing stages will be much more detrimental due to the abrasive nature of the process 👍
