Usual rountine, but today have some new toy to play with in my pre wash stage. According to have no PW and so decide to buy this instead, it is very impressive as really foamy!!

Image

Used it with Valet Pro Advance snow foam 1:10 and it dwell for around 4-5 mins before it sheet off, the below pic will give you a little bit idea of how much foam it has

Image

Then Tardis and then ironx but now a little trick i do as the sun come out, so i decided to use IronX spray Vesion then cover with Ironx snow foam to make it work longer

Paint looks lovely on that one. Still got a soft spot for the 190. Started to restore an 89 190E 2.5-16 a number of years back but had to admit defeat in the end. Would love to have the $$$ to land an EVO I, beautiful machine!
