2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Sumatra Black

toeKnee,
I’ve just looked at the Autobrite Foam Lance on Amazon (other sites are freely available) and they are about £47 can the performance justify the cost or should I stick to my trusty bucket. Also do you usually sponge the foam or just power wash off.

Well Toeknee, that's possibly the nicest way you could have put ''McP, the snow foam sample you gave me is S T''

Just had a thought CG and this is serious not a p s take. Why were sheep affected by Chernobyl and not other livestock? Yes I know it’s a city boy type of question but you only learn by asking

they eat rough pasture or moorland so have to eat more low quality grass from a larger area of ground, so got exposed to more radiation. And because sheep are stupid animals and ignored the 'do not eat- radioactive' signs At work

Well it did save time all in all think it took 45 minutes this morning and the bonus is i didn't have to use a wash mitt /sponge. So reducing the chance of paint swirls and scratches. I'm no professional and we intend to keep the Freelander for several years so i want it looking its best so i would say yes its worth it.

Have a good look around as some of the suppliers have deals on or try the bay for a secondhand one

Manufan, if you go on the DW site and find 'Autobrite' and look down their threads, they have an offer on for their lances - £39.99 and when i bought mine, it included snow foam

You just need to tell them which type of powerwasher you have (karcher etc) 59 TD4e XS in galway green

Hi Annie,

Is it any good? Am I right in thinking that you still have to wash the car after the application. If this is correct then you are washing the car twice. I would willingly pay the amount if it is any good.
Many thanks,
John.
