    From the pics that looks a good first job. Well done. Like Fi says, the foam should be much... erm... foamier = thicker. So it clings to the car and drags lots of grime off with it as it melts off.

    Looking forward to seeing the car on Sunday now.

    MUCH better Alan

    I had the same prob with foam and I still have to get another foam lance as it is cheaper than buying a new pressure washer.

    I have the same foam Lance as you Alan, bought from the same place about a fortnight before you, This was my first attempt. About an inch in the bottom of the bottle topped off with hot water from the kettle. 6 cars were done from the one bottle that day everyone thought it was fun!!!!
