my 1st snowfoam (of the year lol)with the UkVelet stuff... just 2" in the bottle and filled up with cold water.







once cleaned I used the Wax Angel QED detail spray.. then added a new toy to the rear end (as my MaccyD's Smurf was looking a bit worse for wear)

Its a wax safe cleaning process that lifts the dirt and grime away from your paint making it less likely that you scratch the paint finish by just using a bucket, soap and wash mitt. However if your still using a sponge then your scratching the **** out of your paint everytime you wash your car.

hah exactly It's supposed to lift the dirt off the car without any contact, to reduce swirling when you do the hand wash.

Apparently using a pressure washer to do the same can damage the paint Even though its best to rinse off the foam with a pressure washer when its done its thing

I still think its a gimmick introduced by detailing companies to make a few extra quid out of the cleaning sheep out there to be honest

Like Salsa no offence mate.
