Took a pic whilst washing the car after taking it through the Cornish lanes

This was after a foam and just rinsed with the pressure washer, just goes to show how much dirt and shit you can remove (used the cheapest Nilfisk Alto pressure washer £50)

Not really just fools Just demonstrating that it only cost's 50 (dont really need the foam) to protect your paint and give it a thorough clean

its fair comment, if you did the same with a hose the shit would still be there, are you sure its not bad for the paint though?

I don't get it.
So you pressure washed it, and its still covered in mud, is that because you've only pressure washed the right hand side?

If i were you get the one with the hose reel, much easier to keep tidy and unless the hoses are rubber they are a pain in the arse coiling up

I'm surprised you used a pressure washer to blast that dirt off Andy, I've always been told never to use it straight onto dirt to remove it directly, only using light sweeps to remove the loose debris! Otherwise the pressure of it pushes the grains into your paintwork and blasts them off to one side, causing them to 'catch' the paint on the way.

Snow foaming is ace though.
