    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    The deal on detailing world gave 500ml of super snow foam or magifoam free. Went for the magifoam and I was impressed with it. Stuff stayed on there for ages and the X5 really is looking excellent which I'm actually pretty surprised at since I was only cleaning it to play. Didn't expect the results to be as good as they are since I really haven't washed it in 6 months (don't worry Gismo as the 6 months demonstrates, it'll take more than one wash to win me over). That being said, job was done start to finish in 45 mins, and that was with 20 mins soaking time so I can see me doing that every Sunday if it keeps both motors looking tip top. It also is good fun!

    I even had an audience as the folks across the road were intrigued at how an X5 had disappeared under a mound of bubbles.


    Re Snow Foam I'm going to be going for Auto Finesse Avalanche when the free stuff runs out since it sounds like it would do a better job getting rid of gunk that's went through a few wet then dry bake on cycles that is likely to happen when I fail to stick to my new Sunday ritual.

    What's up with your back Rob - you been Pole Dancing at weekends again?

    Back on topic: Silly question here - - do you DILUTE the Snow Foam stuff, or use it neat?
    I'm just about getting organised to buy a lance and suds (had to verify the type of connector for my 'Lidl' washer - it's apparently a 'Lavor' one).
    That's obviously the only bleedin' 'Lavor' I'm going to get on Valentine's Day

    Depends on The individual snow foam tbh, but generally about an inch or so of foam in the bottom of a 1 ltr bottle filled up with warm water

    Thanks Craig, that's reassuring - it would've been quite expensive if it was used neat! (sound of wallet creaking open and huge moths in flight...)
