One for the detailers

My RR has not a clean for about 4 weeks and was covered in all sorts of road crap and salt spray.





Normally I would spray on a citrus traffic film remover, rinse it off and then wash the car. The citrus pre wash has always disappointed me and has been next to useless. However today I decided to ditch the citrus pre wash and use a snow foam instead. I used Autobrite direct Magifoam. I left it on the car for a full 30 mins and then jet washed it off. This is the result -

If you look at the door panel closely you'll see some vertical 'grey' lines where I did not power wash the door the properly.
However the snow foam did such a good job I decided to give the car a second coat of snow foam and then rinsed it off.
The car before -



The car after -



Just my own personal observation on Autobrite Magifoam. It's really good stuff.

As I said a thread for the detailers. Travelling around in circles again.

Thumbs Up love snow foam, what a great thing especially for winter washing...

In your case it's also changed colour from buckingham to santorini. Amazing Smile Graham

nice but Gtechniq is the stuff you want: appply once and never wash the car for a year, simply mild power wash it at the car-wash and it is back as the day it came out of the detailer shop ! Thumbs Up Thumbs Up
