Magifoam applied. Used more this time and the consistency was definitely thicker.

Waited 5 minutes then rinsed just with the standard lance, nothing else:

Then washed it. Amazing how easy this makes washing the car :thumb:

Cheers, certainly requires a lot less elbow grease, although for me it's a PITA getting the pressure washer out as it requires running 2 extension leads for power out my back door - my garage isn't joined to my house unfortunately :(

Luckily I have a nice neighbour who sometimes lets me steal their electric from their house which is nextdoor :lol1:

Lol that's kind of them :thumb:

Mines not too bad to do as I live in a detached house so it just goes through the garage.

Even so I'd be willing to do a lot more as It makes the washing so much quicker. And you're not rubbing the ingrained dirt into your paintwork

Hello mate, can't fault the delivery, arrived today. Slight problem the strong 1 litre HDPE foam lance bottle wasn't in the box.

The box was slightly damaged / open and our storeman made the driver note this on the delivery sheet.

Could you arrange for one to be sent please?

TBH APC are shocking. As for the missing bits, I contacted Autobrite using the number on the first post and dealt direct, they were spot-on and sorted my damaged bits quickly:thumb:

I can't mate. You'd need to get in contact with Autobrite direct.

Give them a ring on 01782 848536

They are very helpful and will soon sort it for ya

B0DSKI 19 December 2012 10:06 PM

That sucks. I had my order from the 12 days of Christmas sale turn up in 3 days.

Try dropping Mark Moss or Autobrite themselves a line on their Facebook page. They keep that very well updated

B0DSKI 30 December 2012 10:56 AM

My old mans one I ordered turned up within 2 days of ordering.

He's like a dog with two dicks now, loves using it more than I do lol

need4speeduk 30 December 2012 11:12 AM

Maybe they just dont like me lol. 21 days and counting. I'll give them a call on the 2nd

Get some pictures up mate

I got a lance from Autobrite a couple of years ago; nothing wrong with the lance, but the bottle broke at the neck after 2 uses, and Autobrite wanted a couple of quid or more for a bottle that was worth about 10p. I use a water bottle now, which they could have suggested when I phoned, so I was`nt particularly impressed.

Guess any plastic bottle could break. Mine's certainly been ok so far.

I'm sure if anybody broke their bottle I could get Mark to sort out a new one at a good price ;)
